Video - Anthony Weiner Admits “I Did it and it Was Mine” – Holds Press Conference

Oh my… say it isn’t so Rep Weiner.

Just moments ago Representative Anthony Weiner took to the podium in a Washington D.C. hotel and held a press conference.

Holding back tears, he told the country what we have heard so many times from so many politicians.

The scandal and cover-up.

This is how is went,

“I want to answer to some of the questions over the last 10 days and take full responsibility for my actions. I have made terrible mistakes that have hurt the people I care about the most and I’m deeply sorry…”

Sound familiar? How many times have Americans been drawn into a political cover up wanting desperately to believe their elected officials only to find out later it was all a lie - and then learn of the great time and effort spent in a cover-up.

Weiner continued,

“Last Friday I tweeted a photograph of myself as a joke to a young woman in Seattle. Once I posted it to twitter I panicked and took it down and said I’d been hacked. I then continued to stick to that story and that was a regrettable mistake.”

Okay, so he tweeted a picture of his dick to a young woman in Seattle. That’s bad…. but not Bill Clinton bad right?

Well, it gets worse. This will also be familiar to you as I know you have heard this before also.

Weiner starts to sob but continues,

“To be clear, the picture was of me and I sent it. I’m deeply sorry for the pain this has caused my wife and family.”

And then of course he drops the bombshell, the thing that makes a little cover-up a big problem.

He confesses,

“In addition, over the last several years I have engaged in several inappropriate conversations over twitter, Facebook, email and occasionally the phone with women I have met online. I’ve exchanged photos and messages of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years. I haven’t told the truth and I’ve done things I deeply regret.”

Okay, now the tears start to really flow as he admits that most of the communication happened before his marriage, but some also took place after his marriage.

He continued,

“I have brought pain to those that trusted me the most and believed in me - and for that I’m deeply sorry.”

Wow.

So there it is - the anatomy of a cover-up. We’ve seen it before and sadly, I’m sure we’ll see it again.

Congrats to twitter for bringing down their first corrupt politician.

Photo - Rep. Weiner Busted – New Photos Shoot Holes in His “Hacked” Twitter Theory

Update: Watch Weiner's Washington DC Press Conference video

Poor Representative Anthony Weiner.

We really wanted to believe him.

After last week’s scandal involving a male crotch photo said to be sent from Representative Anthony Weiner’s twitter account to a young female, new photos and additional information has emerged that may shoot holes in his “hacked twitter account” theory.

The website BigGovernment broke the original story, and now it appears that the alleged crotch photo was sent using TweetDeck – the same utility that Weiner routinely used for his own use.

But today, several new photos appeared that put’s Weiner’s statement “I cannot say with certitude that’s not me in the photo…” into question.

New Photo Of Anthony Weiner Emerges

He can’t say the original crotch photo was not him because it appears there may be other pictures floating around.

In addition to the above photo, another photo showing Weiner sitting on his couch with his two cats had the caption ““Me and the pussys”.

Me and the pussys - note cats in background

Now we may now why he was not able to deny “with certitude” that the first photo was not him.Looks like Weinergate will not be going away anytime soon.

When are these politicians going to learn not to take pictures of their dick?

When will they learn to not record inappropriate phone conversations?

When will they learn not to lie?

I know we can never have a Government with total angels on staff, but why must they always fall prey to their own pride, ego, money and power?

Not to mention the time, money, and effort spent in the resulting cover ups.

It must be something in their DNA.

Stephen Colbert Chimes in on Anthony Weiner’s Bulging Weiner Twitter Problem

Stephen Colbert is not one to run from controversy.

Even though Stephen considers US Representative Anthony Weiner a good friend, he couldn’t help but chime in on his friend’s current swelling Twitter problem.

After Weiner told CNN, “I can’t say with certitude that this is not a picture of me”, Colbert decided he would start sending his own photo’s to Twitter.

All day Thursday, Colbert sent funny, bizarre, grotesque pictures from the plant and animal world that he could not say with certitude were not part of his body.

Each Tweet included the hash tag #ivebeenhacked.



I guess with a name like Anthony Weiner it goes with the territory, but after having the opportunity to just sweep this problem under the rug he had to open his mouth and say he could not be certain if the picture on Twitter was of him or not.

When will these politicians learn?

Anyway, here are some samples that Colbert Tweeted today questioning his very anatomy.

 

Remember, Stephen can not say with certitude that these are not pictures of his body.

Even though Colbert was at sea for almost a week racing to Bermuda, it appears the salty air has not influenced his bulging humor.

Anne Hathaway Nude Photo Scandal - Naked Pictures In Custody Of FBI

Anne Hathaway got some disturbing news recently, it seems the FBI has confiscated nude pictures of the actress along with other personal items such as her personal diary.

The FBI confiscated the naked pictures, along with other personal items, after they arrested the actress' former boyfriend, Italian businessman Raffaello Follieri, on multiple counts of fraud and money laundering last June. He has since been found guilty and is going to jail.

In addition to the nude photographs Follieri took of Hathaway, he also paid a famous photographer to take photos of the movie star in black fishnet stockings, a garter belt and bustier that exposed her breasts.

Anne only learned the pictures were in federal custody after her brother, Michael, tried to retrieve the items from Follieri's storage unit in New York and was told the FBI had taken them.

Hathaway has just completed work on the romantic comedy "Bride Wars", due in January and starring Candice Bergen, Hathaway and Kate Hudson. The film tells the story of two best friends who become rivals when they schedule their respective weddings on the same day.
