Weiner’s ex Kirsten Powers: He lied to me
daily caller ^ | 6-9-11 | Laura Donovan and C.J. Ciaramella

Posted on 06/09/2011 6:33:56 AM PDT by doug from upland

Daily Beast columnist Kirsten Powers took it hard when former flame Anthony Weiner deceived her about his recent Twitter picture scandal. The Fox News contributor, who initially defended Weiner, has called on the scandal-ridden New York Congressman to resign.

In a Wednesday column, Powers, who dated Weiner for three months in 2002, said he “must resign from Congress immediately.”

Powers attests that the Congressman, who admitted Monday to tweeting a photo of his erect penis, was dishonest with her when she confronted him about the story.

(Weiner’s website vilifies online sex predators)

According to Powers’s latest article, Weiner wrote in an email to her before his public confession, “I didn’t send it, statements on sat, sun, monday, the girl said she doesn’t know me, I don’t know her. The people I follow are all people who ask. We’ve hired a law firm but not to protect me, to put together the team to figure out how we prevent and maybe civil or criminal next steps. We don’t know where this photo came from. We have theories. Until we know for sure we open up legal hornets nest if we say.”

In her piece, Powers wrote that she felt lied to.

“I believed him when he told me last week that he had done nothing wrong,” Powers wrote. “He knew I was going on the show Hannity, where I would use this false information to defend him in front of millions of people. I did, and I regret it.”

Powers asserts that Weiner is not a trustworthy individual, adding that she questions the truth to his Monday presser.

“There is no way anyone can ever believe anything Weiner says again after that,” Powers wrote. “In fact, I highly doubt that what he said in his press conference is even true. Narcissism doesn’t begin to describe this kind of behavior. It seems there was nobody he didn’t lie to.”

Powers says Weiner’s bad behavior goes beyond the unfair manner in which he has treated his wife. Weiner, Powers claims, is somewhat of a threat to females.

“But even if I could see past the lying and extreme narcissism that is noteworthy even by Washington standards, there is the issue of his attitude toward women,” Powers wrote. “What has emerged is a picture of a predator trolling the Internet for women—some half his age—with which to engage in cybersex.”

Well, at least she admits it when she has made a mistake. I don’t like her, but I have to give her props for publicly stating that she was wrong.

What a piece of work this chick is.

She goes on national TV night after night propagating lies to the American public that she knows are lies from people she knows are liars.

And then she finds out one of them lied to her and she gets her little feelings hurt.

I, for one, fail to feel her pain.

All of which boils down to the fact she is an air headed twit and a disgrace to the other minds on the Special report Panel.

She uses up too much air and should be cut off to save the whales

How can any adult read that and believe it?

Kirsten, Kirsten. Did he also tell you he would respect you in the morning?

If his wife doesn’t divorce him she’s a fool. Once a dog, always a dog.

My bet it’s Slick Willie who made the donation on behalf of Hillary.

“He needs to man up, get his life in order, resign, get another job out of the spotlight, and take care of his wife and family.”

That’s going to be one unhappy man!

Has she ever discussed/defended him on a news show/other media without first informing her audience of their ‘dating’? She has?

So much for full disclosure/journalistic ethics...

Yes, that was sarcasm.

Then she would have known from the pic he was lying to her, no?

She upgraded to Rich Lowery for quite a while.

She most know the difference between right and left and certainly, right and wrong.
