Del.icio.usFacebookStumbleuponNewsvineYahoo bookmarksMixxDiggRedditGoogle BookmarksTwitterLinkedInRep. Anthony Weiner is running out of allies. Even his stripper penpal is calling for his resignation.
Ginger Lee, a former porn actress who currently works as a "feature dancer" in nightclubs, said today that Weiner tried several times to engage her in sexual communication but that she never took the bait.
Lee held a press conference in New York City, accompanied by her lawyer Gloria Allred, who said Lee had "gone into hiding" after the Weiner scandal broke to avoid having to lie to protect the New York Democrat. The two said Weiner first contacted Lee this March, after she wrote flattering things about him on her blog.
Weiner is under intense pressure to quit after he admitted inappropriate online relationships with several women over the past three years. Many Democratic colleagues are hoping he resigns now that his wife, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, has returned from an overseas trip.
Allred estimated that Weiner and Lee exchanged about 100 messages via email and Twitter from March until two weeks ago. She said the few that were sexual in nature were all sent by Weiner.
"I did not 'sext' him...any time he took it in that direction, I changed the subject," Lee said, reading from a prepared statement. The slight, young blond woman said that when she started interacting with Weiner "it was about politics."
According to Allred, Lee admired Weiner's positions on two issues of great importance to her: Planned Parenthood and health care. She said Weiner contacted Lee after she posted flattering descriptions of him on her blog.
Allred said Weiner repeatedly tried to change the direction and tone of their conversation to a more suggestive one.
Among the messages Weiner allegedly sent:
"I have wardrobe demands too. I need to highlight my package."
"Alright, my package and I are not going to beg."
"You aren't giving my package due credit."
Allred said Weiner never sent any racy photos to Lee, and she sent none to him. The two communicated by phone only once: when Weiner gave Lee advice about how to handle the media after he accidentally tweeted a photo of his crotch in gray underwear to tens of thousands of twitter followers.
As one of the roughly 200 people Weiner followed on Twitter, Lee quickly became a target of reporters' questions. "He asked me to lie" when the news first broke, Lee said. "I knew I couldn't lie but I didn't want to be the one who threw him under the bus," she added, so she put out a three sentence statement and refused to answer any questions. Allred noted that Lee has not sold her story and would cooperate with a House ethics investigation if asked.
Lee said she believes Weiner should resign because he lied to the media and the public for a week before admitting the underwear photo was of him.
"If he told the truth, it might not have turned into this," she argued.
I guess we’ve reached critical mass when the former pornstar and current stripper call for his resignation. This is one of the best stories to ever hit a slimy Democrat. This arrogant, pompous jackass is being utterly humiliated.
the guy is a perv....i hope huma is smart enough to kick him out.
What Clinton did was much worse, but they defended him the whole way. Wonder how they justify booting Weiner.
Naah, let the prick stay. He is a gold mine for us.
I thunk she was calling for an assignation.
A miserable pornographic slut and a woman of ethics.
I think we reached it when the porn star calls a press conference
“Wonder how they justify booting Weiner.”
He doesn’t have 1200 FBI files on important people in Washington.
Absolutely!
And of course impeached POTUS BJ Clinton is the “most popular” Democrat politician currently
Weenie would be nuts to quit - he’s on a path to stardom in the Dem party.
In 5 yrs, he and John Edwards will be major Dem players.
Don’t resign, Weiner. Hold your ground.
Great toon of Weiner...actually better than his real shots! ;)
This is never going to stop giving!

When Gloria Allred shows up to pick at your carcass, it is time to realize that you are carrion.
Rumor has it that he found an organization in Texas offering professional services.

The problem is; Huma is being advised by Hillary Clinton.
She’ll be told to “stand by her man” and look the other way so she can advance her career.
Yeah, they can face off for Queen of cell block C.
