Rep. Anthony Weiner plans press conference after release of provocative new photographs

By Michael A. Memoli and James Oliphant

June 6, 2011

Rep. Anthony Weiner has called an afternoon news conference Monday amid a fresh round of sordid allegations involving the married congressman, including the release of a new set of photos that appear to show him posing shirtless.

The website BigGovernment.com, run by conservative rabble-rouser Andrew Breitbart, reignited the frenzy it had started involving the New York Democrat in a series of posts Monday.

One photo shows a man's naked torso; the subject's full face is not visible, but pictures in the background include Weiner. The website says a young woman provided the photos, sent to her from what is allegedly Weiner's personal e-mail account. That same account allegedly included other photos that clearly show Weiner's face.

Weiner's office has not responded to a request for comment. He will address the media at 4 pm E.D.T. from a midtown Manhattan hotel.

Weiner: Yes, I sent suggestive pictures to women from my Twitter account. Let those among you who have not done so be the first to cast stones!

As I hit the “post” button I thought that even if only a million people spent 1 minute focused on this jerk, that is over 16,000 hours wasted on his miserable arse.

I think Weener should invite some female LSMers in to take some direct measurements.

Had this been a GOPer, he’d have resigned with in seconds of the first story being published.

Dems just lie more and more and more.

This story is starting to touch Dame Hillary's terrain.

I'm sure the rumor mill is buzzing particularly fiercely in NYC and the Sec. of State is feeling the heat.

run by conservative rabble-rouser Andrew Breitbart, reignited the frenzy it had started

The L.A. Times is a liberal rabble-rouser.

The nerve of them, blaming Andrew Breitbart for this!! Breitbart did not start this scandal. That's not Breitbart's wiener in those portraits!

"Also Monday, the website Radar Online reported that another woman claims to have "200 sexually explicit messages from Weiner from a Facebook account the Democratic politician no longer uses." They say the woman who provided the information is a Democratic campaign volunteer who never met the congressman."

Looks like the DNC decided to gut him.

They are putting forth the story that the photos are Photoshopped. “Manipulated” as Weiner loves to day.

This article says no resignation.
