Anthony Weiner Press Conference: Admits Sending Racy Pictures, Refuses to Resign

What is wrong with our politicians in Washington! YIKES! Don't they have any morals, I can't understand why he lied. The truth would come out sooner or later. WHAT WAS WEINER THINKING!!!!!!!!! STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.

"NEW YORK -- Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) insisted he’s staying in office Monday, even as a string of embarrassing new revelations and photos emerged that apparently reveal a hidden, lascivious online life.

At first, Weiner vehemently denied that a photo of an underwear-clad erection, sent via Twitter to a 21-year-old woman, had come from him, insisting he’d been hacked."

Last week he said it was a MINOR DISTRACTION ....

OK now enough poking at poor WEINER , he going to get grilled as it is.......

Jon Stewart said the person in the pic 'leans to the left.'

Ba da DUM!!

But seriously it's time for AW to check into sex rehab.....

He is one Congressman we should support. HE SPOKE OUT FOR THE UNEMPLOYED!!!

He is not for oil.

Just has a zipper problem. No sex was done.

Was too embarrassed when caught. What politician does not lie?

We need him to continue our fight for the unemployed.

I agree AW has been a big supporter of ordinary Americans yet he clearly has a sex/ego problem & imo would benefit from some therapy. Imo seeking & getting help will endear him to the American people.

Unlike so many of the right-wingers who have engaged in similar (even arguably much more serious) indiscretions, I don't recall him as preaching "family values", religious piety, the sanctity of marriage, etc.

He was very wrong to lie, no question about that. He has embarrassed his party especially its progressive wing.

Unless I am mistaken, no laws were broken. As such, I think that the indiscretions are a matter between him and his wife. As for lies, let any politician without that sin cast the first stone.

Unlike the recent sex scandals, i.e., Ensign and Edwards, there were no pay-offs or bribes to keep this quiet. AW needs to make peace with his family first, then get back to work.

How many scandals did Ted Kennedy, and his son Patrick (my former Congressman) survive? They came through it and still remained credible and influential forces in the House and Senate.

I agree what he did was stupid, but he admitted it without wasting tax-payer $$$ on an investigation and the only ones that got hurt were his family.

This scandel will be forgotten in a few months. Congress has a reputation for lying, stealing and cheating. Many representatives have been caught and are still in office. I agree with remarks from people on this forum, he needs help. I hope he seeks it soon.


Democrats are furious at Rep. Weiner.

Texas woman in Anthony Weiner scandal saw 'risky' behavior

This is the photo that Meagan Broussard claims Rep. Anthony Weiner sent her as proof of his identity. (BigGovernment.com)

Reporting from Washington —


One of the women Rep. Anthony Weiner pursued over the Internet didn’t understand how the married New York congressman could take as many chances as he did by sending compromising photos of himself, ones that clearly identified who he was.

At first, 26-year-old Meagan Broussard “didn’t think it was him. I thought, for sure, why would someone in that position be doing this?”

According to an interview with ABC News, Broussard asked him for proof. Weiner quickly responded by sending her a photo of him holding a piece of paper with the word “me” written on it.

That was followed by more scandalous shots, one that featured Weiner’s bare torso, with photos of him clearly identifiable in the background, including ones with Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, an aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, and former President Clinton. Finally, he sent her a graphic picture of his private parts.

“I just thought it was risky,” the Texas single mother said. “Real risky.”

That risk would be realized. Broussard, after watching the Weiner scandal play out over last week, was put in touch with conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, who posted the photos online Monday for the world to see. Breitbart, in turn, referred Broussard to ABC.

Notified of Broussard’s impending interview, Weiner called a news conference in New York in which he admitted having inappropriate online contact with at least six women.

Broussard and Weiner’s byplay started in April. After watching a speech by Weiner online, Broussard wrote a single word on his Facebook page: “hotttt.”

Weiner responded almost immediately, asking Broussard to “friend” him. That way, he could send her private messages. He began messaging her daily. “I didn’t understand why he wanted to talk to me so much,” she told ABC. “It wasn’t like I was chasing him at all.”

They spoke on the phone only once, but their online back-and-forth continued until last week. “It was nothing like a relationship,” she said, although she also sent pictures to Weiner.

Of the disgraced congressman, who maintained Monday that he would not resign his seat but who faces a House ethics probe, Broussard said, “I don’t think he’s a bad guy. I just think he’s got issues. Just like everybody else.

Weiner scandal-Just another distraction which will occupy the politicians and the media for a time, distracting us from the real issues affecting our country. Get over it and get on with it! Admit that they're all a bunch of lying, cheating hypocrites!

Yeah, and idiot Chris Matthews ( msnbc ) says " His wife may be partially to blame ". Why does anyone watch this moron ?

Hey! Weiner say "I inherited this"...

News flashes ( LOL ) - Whoopee ( the View ) says Weiner must pull out ! Ann Coulter ( another right-wing wacko ) gets "excited" at the very mention of Weiner. Wife of 11 months says she's staying with her Weiner! Weiner says he will not pull out!

When will the Republicans have balls to do something for the unemployed?

They don't want to expose themselves.
