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.

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.”
as with most little commies, her wiring is all screwed up
It is obvious the widespread assumption “dumb blond” has once again been richly confirmed. Thanks Kirsten!
Powers dated Weiner? She’s worse off than I thought. Poor girl - all that liberalness packed into a pretty package.
Good!
Kirsten, you are the one who went on national TV and repeated the spoon fed talking points. Did it ever occur to you that a journalist does some investigation of the talking points before going public.
Like so much of the media, you are a propagandist not a journalist.
Must be the "power" thing they're after.
SUPER DISGUSTING, NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo
Kirstin is a typical democrat “True Believer”, functioning on feeling and Unicorn gas while ignoring all the hard facts she has to climb over to rationalize her blind liberalism.
Has she learned anything of lasting value from her latest experience of being used by The Weiner?
I doubt it.
I saw that. I love how she grimaced when she was introduced as Weiner's former girlfriend. Then she objected to being called his former girlfriend because they only dated a couple months. Classic liberal denial of reality.
The she said she'd be "very shocked" if he resigned. Well, excuse me, Kirstin, if I don't take that to the bank, based on your past judgements.
You see, as I pointed out yesterday . . . Huma didn't marry Anthony Weiner; she married Anthony Weiner (D-NY). She'll do whatever it takes to keep him in office, even if it means tolerating the kind of sh!t that would drive any normal woman to do things that would make Lorena Bobbitt proud.
Once he's no longer in office, he's of no use to her, she'll completely fall apart, and their sham of a marriage will be over. See Maria Shriver and Elizabeth Edwards as Exhibits A and B in support of this statement.
ditto.
kirsten deploys the obama regime’s ideology onto fox snooze.
Really? She did it with that? Wow...
I guess it’s true what they say, if you’re looking for an easy roll in the hay, find yourself a liberal chick. They have low standards and as long as you’ll pay to kill any accidents, rarely say no.
