The crowd was thick around Bloomberg yesterday as he walked the streets of Crown Heights and picked up the endorsement of the Crown Heights Political Action Committee.

There may have been one person he wished wasn't in the crowd: Rabbi Moshe Rubashkin of the Crown Heights Jewish Community Council.

Rubashkin, who served time in prison for passing more than $300,000 in bad checks, didn't speak at the endorsement event but was recognized by Chanina Sperlin, chairman of the Crown Heights PAC, as "my colleague."

Bloomberg campaign aides noted Rubashkin is not a member of the Crown Heights Political Action Committee and had no official involvement in the event.
