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.

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.

Democratic Representative Anthony Weiner has hired an attorney to investigate the hacking of his Twitter account after a lewd photo was sent to one of his followers, his office said on Tuesday.

"Look, this is a prank, not a terribly creative one and it's a distraction," Weiner said on NY1 TV.
His office confirmed to Reuters that the New York congressman, who has a high profile as an advocate of liberal causes, has hired an attorney to advise him on whether or not he could press criminal charges as a result of the alleged hack of his Twitter account.
Weiner said his account was hacked when a lewd photo of a man in bulging boxer briefs was tweeted to a 21-year-old female college student in Washington state over the weekend.
The posting was quickly deleted and Weiner made light of the incident on his Twitter page.
"More Weiner Jokes for all my guests!" he tweeted with the hashtag "Hacked!"

The student, Gennette Cordova, issued a statement to the New York Daily News that denied she personally knew Weiner but said, "I am a fan."
