Weiner cancels convention speech
U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., has cancelled his planned speech tonight at the state Democratic convention in the wake of a flap over a picture sent from his Twitter account.
State party officials said they told Weiner he was still welcome to attend and address delegates tonight, and left the decision to speak up to him.
"He decided to spend the weekend with his wife," said state chair Mike Tate.
