Earlier today, a photograph resembling one that I had withheld from publication in the Weinergate saga was released without my knowledge or permission.
Prior to the publication of our story on BigGovernment.com and BigJournalism.com this past Monday morning, it was necessary to show the pictures I had received from our source to several news producers, including several at major news networks, to prove that the additional material I described really did exist, which some have continued to doubt.
This morning, I showed a photograph, which our source claims Weiner sent her, to radio hosts “Opie and Anthony” of the Sirius XM radio network on my mobile device. Somehow, without my knowledge or permission, apparently a picture was taken of my mobile device, and subsequently published by Opie (Gregg Hughes) on Twitter.
His co-host, Anthony (Anthony Cumia), stated today:
“In regards to the photo of Anthony Weiner that was leaked by members of The Opie And Anthony show on 6/8, I want to make it clear that Andrew Breitbart had no knowledge that this photo was being made public. A phone with the photo was being displayed and a camera in the studio caught it. It was then uploaded to twitter [sic], again, without Andrew Breitbarts [sic] knowledge.”
I regret that this occurred.
Aren’t Opie and Anthony the shock-jocks who put a couple up to the stunt of having sex in the vestibule of a church in NYC?
Bid deal if Breitbart intentionally or unintentionally let this pic leak. Once you take a pic and hit send, you run the risk that it will one day surface.
Don't know what happen to the woman involved but the day the man was to be sentenced in court, he died.
This reflects VERY badly on Mr Breitbart after what appeared to be a very sincere oath to not reveal this pic. A man has only his good name. Mr Breitbart will have an uphill battle against the MSM who SAVAGE him( and rightly so) for this action.
Whoa. Who-oh ah.
I thought Andy Breitbart was smarter than this. Dumb move squared.
Yeah, I agree. They're going to come after him with everything they've got. He asked for an apology, promised something in return. He got the apology; the media pretty much begged Weiner to apologize to Breitbart.
Now this. Not good.
I understand showing the photo to a reputable news publication’s managing editor to validate that it exists. You can do those kinds of deals (non-disclosures) and expect them to be kept. But a couple of “shock jocks”? Jeeze! Andrew Breibart shows a serious lack of judgment here!
“Mr Breitbart will have an uphill battle against the MSM who SAVAGE him( and rightly so) for this action.”
The libs/msm are going to come after him with everything they have anyway. Most of the people will never hear about Breitbart. All they will hear about is Weiner’s activities.
The kid inside that only wanted to show off dad’s gun on the school playground got the best of him.

Look up your rep and call. Weiner either resigns or faces an expulsion vote. The sooner the better.
If your rep does not agree, then tell him or her that they must approve of Weiner’s actions. And that is not acceptable to you.
Andrew Breitbart is a damn fool to go on that live action Beavis & Butthead show, and is reaping what he’s sown for doing so.
I am sick and tired of our side having to “play fair” and “take the high road”. Just damn, don’t you people know we are in a war? I was hoping Breitbart was lying when he said he wouldn’t release the X-rated pics, and I hope he’s lying now when he says it was a mistake.
yes- St Patricks Catherdral and they got fired- that aside they are actually pretty funny and Anthony is a big conservative- was outspoken against obama in 2008....
Anthony is anything but liberal.
