(Democrat) Anthony Weiner 'used congressional phone' for sex chat with blackjack dealer
the telegraph ^ | 6/7/2011 | By Jon Swaine

Anthony Weiner, the US congressman who lied about lewd online exchanges with female admirers, was mired in further controversy on Tuesday, as women alleged he used his office to carry out the affairs.

The married New York Democrat was under intense pressure as the reason he gave for not resigning – that he kept the sexual messages and pictures separate from his work – was challenged.

A Las Vegas Blackjack dealer claimed he had called her for phone sex from a congressional line, while a pornographic actress alleged he offered to have someone from his "team" help her prepare misleading responses to media enquiries.

In a tearful confession during a press conference on Monday night, Mr Weiner, who is facing calls to resign, said he had "inappropriate conversations" with six women over three years via Facebook, Twitter and telephone.

Last week he sent a picture of his crotch to a student in Seattle via Twitter, and accidentally made it public. He then claimed his account was hacked, but the story unravelled when more pictures came to light.

When asked: "Did you use government resources for this kind of activity?", he replied: "I did not".

Good point, but here's the REAL reason why no Democrats want to come to Weiner's defense anymore:

"I don’t know the details, but I know him [Weiner] to be a person of integrity and I am virtually certain he had nothing to do with this." -- U.S. Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY), 5/31/11

"Last Friday night, I tweeted a photograph of myself that I intended to send as a direct message as part of a joke to a woman in Seattle. Once I realized I had posted it to Twitter, I panicked, I took it down, and said that I had been hacked. I then continued with that story to stick to that story, which was a hugely regrettable mistake. This woman was unwittingly dragged into this and bears absolutely no responsibility. I am so sorry to have disrupted her life in this way. To be clear, the picture was of me, and I sent it." -- Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), 6/6/11

Even a shameless, unprincipled partisan hack like Chuck Schumer will not go to bat anymore for a flaming @sshole like Anthony Weiner.

Congress passes laws to punish private business workers of doing this kind of stuff.

But if you are a congressman it’s OK.

I think Hillary put all these babes up to this so she could have Huma all to herself.

Or maybe it was Obama's minions in an effort to smoke out Hillary's relationship with Huma. Considering Hillary is the most likely primary opponent to a rapidly declining Obama's ambitions for a second term.

She said she tried to call him back at another time and she got a recording saying that the phone number was for outging congressional calls only.

That is the most irksome aspect of this whole thing. Bad enough this narcissist uses the resources of his constituency to ingratiate himself while exposing himself. The fact is, the rest of us out here would be dealing with major blow back and loss of job if we were to engage in the same behavior, with Federal Law (thank you Anita Hill) providing the backbone.

Pelosi keeps saying Weiner has not broken any rules of the House of Representatives.

IF that is so, the House of Representatives needs a new set of rules!!!

It also needs a replacement for Pelosi.

I knew a C++ programmer (high pay).
He spent 15 minutes on a porn site one night.
He was gone the next day.

Just like this congressman He could still do his job.
But thanks to the laws like Weiner makes this guy was fired.

He that lives by the sword shall die by the sword.

Actually if Weiner stays in. He becomes one of the things that is wrong with the democratic party.
