Re “Tearful Weiner Admits Sending Explicit Picture” (front page, June 7): As a constituent of Representative Anthony D. Weiner, I would hope that he takes the dignified course of action and steps down. With these pictures in the public forum and the possibility of more looming, his ability to defend my interests has diminished. Mr. Weiner has let down all of his constituents and no longer carries the reputation needed to actively debate on a national stage. He should leave the political arena. MICHAEL METS Glendale, Queens, June 7, 2011 To the Editor: Politicians don’t seem to understand that if...

Newly uncovered information in the ongoing #Weinergate scandal raises more questions as to just how much private communication New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner had with porn star and stripper Miss Ginger Lee. The Daily Caller has discovered a tweet from Lee on March 3 indicating she received Weiner’s pro forma message then, not later on as Weiner has suggested. “When I woke up to what was probably an automatic ‘thank you’ message from @RepWeiner I did a little dance of … http://tmi.me/7kvtn,” she tweeted on March 3.

Christopher called the girls “Betty” and “Veronica” and said that they had admitted to him that they had lied. That may be . . . but there are some aspects of their claims (and those of their parents) that I think merit some examination. (...)

Weinergate is coming to Milwaukee. New York Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner was booked weeks ago to speak at the Democratic Party of Wisconsin’s annual convention, which will take place this weekend in Milwaukee. Weiner will rally the Democratic troops in Wisconsin, even though the controversy over his Twitter account continues to dominate the national political dialog after a lewd photo of a man’s underwear-clad groin was sent by Weiner’s twitter account to a female follower. Weiner said his account was hacked and he did not send the photo, although he said he cannot “say with certitude” that the photo was...

[SNIP] A sultry adult-film actress who got a private Twitter message from New York's randy representative happily returned the favor -- openly gushing over her "Mr. Sexy Congressman" in a slew of blog posts. "I want to have sexual relations with Anthony Weiner," Ginger Lee wrote in a March 1 post. [SNIP]
