He has been well coached on damage control...
Yes he was. If you listen you can hear it when he says (paraphrasing) "I didn't...I don't think I did anything wrong."
He starts and stops to rephrase several times on that kind of statement.

If the MSM calls for his resignation, it will be because Obama and Pelosi have decided he’s no longer useful to them. It may even be that O and P are looking at this as a way to tweak Hillary, since Weiner’s wife, Huma, used to be Hillary’s right hand gal.

We watched an excellent show on the Military Channel last night called “Surviving D-Day”. It’s coming on again tonight, at 9pm Eastern. It’s amazing that we actually were victorious given the horrendous mistakes made by the planners of the operation. That we did, speaks volumes about the bravery and tenacity of the American and British soldiers.

Did nobody actually WATCH the news conference? He was dragged kicking and screaming to a Brietbart apology. He was badgered into it by a reporter after Wiener dodged actually apologizing directly to Breitbart about six times.

Yes he said the words “I apologize to Andrew Breitbart”.

Now who in the world is ever going to believe ANYTHING Wiener says?

“He claimed to have one more photo that he would not release because it was too vulgar.”

Too “vulgar” or OBSCENE?

The video I saw on one of the stinking load of dog crap MSM websites left this part out.

They are REDACTING this.

It may be that Zer0 and Pelosi are about to throw Weiner-Wanker under the bus. If they do and he's forced to resign, I predict a glowing career in the porn movie business. He's a little smarmy for the ladies, but the guys will find him appealing. Barney Frank can do cameo spots in his films as his mentor.

"Weiner chose a strategy of total media prostration – though he was firm in his refusal to resign."

Sure, he "refuses to resign", he needs to serve 2 more years to get his full congressional pension!

Time to end all congressional "perks" and "pric@s."

“I’m trying to do the decent thing here and not release the photo,” he said, hinting that such restraint might be tested if Weiner continued to suggest he had been hacked,

Expect Pelosi and crowd to shift gears shortly. After a couple of days of making noise about an ethics investigation, they'll try to get Breitbart indicted for extortion.

Time to end "retirement" packages for all elected officials as well as "lifetime appointments" and any "perks" that the taxpayers do not enjoy, while paying for them themselves!

Politicians need to be returned to being "citizen legislatures," with NO retirement, health-care, franking (mailing) benefits, period!

Guess whom we'd no longer see no longer for political office??? You guessed it, those pukes who tell us that "government service is a sacrifice!

We are running OUT of money (correction - we're OUT of money) while paying vermin like this to "represent us," and demand that we educate, feed, house and imprison illegal aliens who take our jobs and scoff at us for even suggesting that they go somewhere else (like back home). We then are forced to listen to our over-sexed, over-pampered, overpaid, vermin tell us we are "racist" and "xenophobic" for wanting America for Americans!

I'm mad as Hell and I don't intend to take it anymore - anyone???
