Rep. Anthony Weiner Plans 4 PM Press Conference After Release of Provocative New Photographs
LA Times ^ | June 6, 2011 | Michael A. Memoli and James Oliphant

Posted on 06/06/2011 12:53:32 PM PDT by lbryce

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. The BigGoverment.com story says that same e-mail address was used to send the explicit photo of a man's crotch that it had released last week. Weiner, in a series of interviews and press statements, struggled to offer a clear explanation of whether the photo showed his body and how they could have been made public via Twitter. He repeatedly claimed his Twitter account had been hacked, but offered no evidence to support the assertion.

This will be the apology to the wife presser and no resignation. That’s the next presser in a few days when the story refuses to die down.

Very possibly.

This article says no resignation:

He will attack Brietbart and the left wing media will support him.

I wonder if he’ll also attack radaronline.

“The website BigGovernment.com, run by conservative rabble-rouser..”

If it was a REPUBLICAN and not another Little Weiner Democrat being targeted by the liberal media, this would read “The website XXXXXXXX, run by hard-hitting reporter.....”

Wow. Those 'hackers' have REALLY got it in for this guy...

Forcing him to pose partially clad for pictures; hacking his Twitter account AND his personal e-mail account to send those pictures to unsupecting young women...

This guy is really in love with himself. Typical for a democrat. They’re all in love with themselves. And ugly as hell but just can’t see it.

This demands a full congressional and FBI investigation.. Until these hackers are behind bars, no one in America is safe.

Another article I read earlier today claimed that Weiner had been well known as a man about town with the ladies. Funny thing, he looks like a gay blade to me. Is everyone SURE that these photos were sent to girls?

No. This will be the obligatory: I apologize for questionable behavior, I have a problem (probably attributable to Bush) and will be seeking aid. I have the support of my wife and family and hope the media and those evil conservative scum will allow me the privacy necessary to sort things out. I have worked had to represent the citizens of (fill in the district) and will do so until they chose to replace me.

Naturally, the MSM DEARLY LOVES a Democrat who APOLOGIZES FOR A PERSONAL WEAKNESS and will not hesitate to attack anyone who “piles on” the unfortunate Weiner. Of course, “piling on” is actually defined as telling the truth about.

“Hello. I’m Tony Weiner, and I shave my chest!”

“Oh, and honey, I’m really sorry.”
