Weiner admits he sent lewd Twitter picture, refuses to resign (Apologizes to Breitbart)

Here's the naked truth about Rep. Anthony Weiner -- he's an Internet perv.

A "deeply ashamed" Weiner openly wept during a news conference this afternoon in Manhattan -- admitting that he made "terrible mistakes" in sending lewd pictures of himself to women he met on Facebook and Twitter over the past few years.

A contrite Weiner vowed not to resign in the wake of the scandal and said he had told his wife only today about his ongoing online sexual trysts. "I don't know what I was thinking," an apologetic Weiner told reporters at the Sheraton Hotel in Midtown. He said 21 times that he accepted responsibility for his actions. Weiner also said he was "not resigning" -- but took "full responsibility for my actions" over the last few years.

Until today, Weiner (D-Brooklyn/Queens) had adamantly denied sending a crotch pic tweet last month. When asked last week whether the crotch seen 'round the world was his, Weiner responded that he could not say with "certitude" it was not. Weiner called the initial that photo a joke and a “hugely regrettable mistake.” Last week's underwear imbroglio erupted after a picture of bulging briefs popped up on the Twitter feed of Seattle college student Gennette Cordova, a follower of the congressman and an admitted fan.

After initially insisting that a hacker broke into his account and sent the photo, Weiner spent most of last week desperately trying to deflate the issue. "I lied because I was ashamed about what I had done," said Weiner....

My wife listened to the press conference. At the end someone yelled from the press, “Were you fully erect?” before the video was cut. Talk about an embarrassing moment!

So how do we get this guy forced out of office and prosecuted?

>> Weiner spent most of last week desperately trying to deflate the issue.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! “Deflate the issue”! ROFLMAO!

The weiner jokes come easy, don’t they? He has no character so he won’t resign in shame... but he may rather resign than be the laughingstock he’s destined to become!

Weiner pulled a Bahner?-——

Weiner pulled a weiner.

Typical democrat.

Weiner added, "I am going to try to be a better man and better husband."

Ha! Massive failz!

Also there is a thread headlined "Andrew Breitbart Takes Over Anthony Weiner Conference"

That was the most hilarious part of the afternoon! Weiner was scheduled to come on at 4 pm, but is late - meanwhile Breitbart shows up, is mobbed by the waiting press and is ASKED to take the already-set-up podium, and proceeds to give his own presser for 15 minutes! CNN was so ticked off they refused to carry the sound and tried to portray it as a "hijacking", which their own correspondent at the event denied.

I couldn't stop laughing thru the whole thing!!!

Anyone have a link? I want to see Weiner crying.

He made a couple of claims in his apology:

1) I don’t do drugs
2) I never met those women
3) I never had sex with those women

I wonder how long those claims will stand.

>> At the end someone yelled from the press, “Were you fully erect?”

So how did he answer? Yes or no?

That’s what I call “caught between the horny of a dilemma”.

The TOTUS is not on tv today. I'm enjoying not hearing distortions about how we're at a speed bump in the recovery. There is no recovery.

Meantime, we know all about Weiner's briefs.

[GreenHornet]

If he does resign, at least he can look forward to having his own talk show on MSNBC.

Weiner refused to apologize to Breitbart by name.

I read otherwise that he did, saying, "I apologize to Mr. Andrew Breitbart."

[Zionist Conspirator]

Why should he resign? Democrats have no moral standards to violate!

[Dengar01]

I climbed into the swamp known as the Daily Kos. They are going insane!!! =D

Thanks WEINER!!! We here at Free Republic LOVE YOU!!!

Now can someone call Congressman Darrell Issa so we can get a live hearing about Weinergate on CSPAN???

“full responsibility for my actions” over the last few years.

FEW YEARS? He had been dating his future wife, married her and was still showing his body parts on the internet? Is nothing sacred to a democrat? Should I even ask such a stupid question? What a slime.

A "deeply ashamed" Weiner openly wept

Where do they give classes in this stuff? I mean, it's got to be a growth industry...wanna find out where to invest. ;^)

[floriduh voter]

I heard what you mentioned on the live feed. Someone yelled out about a child too. Illegitimate kid floating about? I do not know cuz I’m not from NY.

[Dengar01]

Why should he resign? Democrats have no moral standards to violate!

So, I'm thinking this was a great career move for him. Nancy "I'm going to clean up the swamp." Pelosi will probably give him a leadership position.

Remember the gay guy Mark Foley that the MSM harped on until it guaranteed the dems the 06 election? How fast are they going to drop this story???

[Pearls Before Swine]

So how did he answer? Yes or no?

She was watching on FOX. She said the video was cut right after the question was asked. So as far as I know, the legend will remain: Anthony Weiner (pronounced "whiner"), wiener of mystery.

[Nervous Tick]

Weiner>> “I am going to try to be a better man and better husband.”
Bloody Sam>> “Ha! Massive failz!”

nuh UH! C’mon! He can *only* get better! How hard could it BE for this lowlife to improve? Talk about a low bar to clear! :-)
