Weiner admits he sent lewd photo; won't quit
Yeah, the puns pretty much write themselves.... also, I think it might have been a better headline if it read "won't resign".Ok, my thoughts....After days of denials, a choked-up Rep. Anthony Weiner confessed Monday that he tweeted a photo of his bulging underpants to a young woman, and he also admitted to "inappropriate" exchanges with six women before and after he got married. He apologized for lying but said he would not resign.
"This was me doing a dumb thing and doing it repeatedly and lying about it," the 46-year-old New York Democrat said after a week of double-entendre headlines and late-night wisecracks full of Weiner jokes.
Had he just manned up when he accidentally posted the photo publicly, he could have stopped this from becoming the scandal it has grown into. It speaks to his arrogance that he thought he could lie his way out of it and get away to it. Finally, after a steady trickle of additional photos came in- he was finally forced to admit that he had been blatantly lying to the public that elected him.
Of course, once caught lying, it further speaks to his arrogance that he doesn't have the decency to resign. Maybe next he can point out that being a good liar is actually an asset to members of congress.![]()
