New York, NY - Mayor Bloomberg Calling On "Congressman Yassky"

New York, NY - City Councilman David Yassky, who is locked in a racially charged congressional race, was all smiles as Mayor Bloomberg introduced him as "Congressman Yassky."

Speaking at the first groundbreaking to come from last year's Williamsburg-Greenpoint re-zoning, the mayor praised Yassky - but press secretary Stu Loeser insisted there was no endorsement, just "a slip of the tongue."

Yassky is the only white in a four-person Democratic primary.
