Taking Jon Stewart's advice, Rep. Anthony Weiner has just admitted the lewd photo sent by twitter was sent by him and that it is a photo of him.

Weiner says he sent texts and had phone relationships with six women, some before but some after his marriage.
Weiner quotes from news conference:
"To be clear, the picture was of me, and I sent it."
"I am not resigning."
"I don't know what I was thinking...It was something that was just wrong and I regret it."
"i was trying to protect my wife, i was trying to protect myself from shame. it was a mistake and i really regret it"
"this was a very dumb thing to do"
"They were generally women I met on Facebook"
"This was a destructive thing to do."
"If you're looking for some kind of deep explanation for this I don't have one"
"my wife has known about some of these online relationships since before we were married" but didn't know about recent photos
"I apologize to Andrew Breitbart."
let me guess...the twitteree asks wiener to send his wiener image? and he playfulyy does ? lol he has some weird sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteIt sounded like its a two way consensual exchange, so i am guessing some of those women sent their pics, and possibly phone/social-media sex (he didn't deny this in the press meet - somebody explicitly asked if there was phone sex)
somebody else also asked if there were any promises or favors...he didn't answer that question.
