Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York said today he has engaged in "several inappropriate" electronic relationships with six women over three years, and that he has publicly lied about a photo of himself sent over Twitter to a college student in Seattle over a week ago. "I take full responsibility for my actions," Weiner said. "The picture was of me, and I sent it." The announcement came as ABC News prepared to release an interview with Meagan Broussard, a 26-year-old single mother from Texas who provided dozens of photos, emails, Facebook messages and cell phone call logs that she says chronicle a sexually-charged electronic relationship with Weiner that rapidly-evolved for more than a month, starting on April 20, 2011. ABC News reached out to Weiner earlier today for comment about his possible ties to Broussard, but he did not respond to requests for an interview. At a press conference, Weiner later confirmed Broussard was one of the women with whom he sexted. Broussard's story had threatened to expose the secret online life of one of the House Democrats' most popular members, and a man many considered a leading candidate for mayor of New York City. It also raised new questions about Weiner's explanation for how a photo of a man's groin area ended up on his public Twitter feed on May 27. "I just chuckled," Broussard, a nursing student, said of her reaction to the story that unfolded in the media last week. "It would be one thing if he came out and said, 'Hey, so what?' But now he's saying he got hacked." Broussard said she received the same photo of a man's crotch on May 18 in an email from a man who she then believed was Weiner. 'The View' on Twittering Politicians Watch Video Anthony Weiner Interview: Is Twitter Photo Him? Watch Video Rep. Anthony Weiner: 'I Was Pranked' Watch Video Weiner told ABC News last week that the Twitter incident was a "prank" on him, but he neither confirmed nor denied at the time that the photo depicted his body. "I am reluctant to say anything definitively about this," he said of the photo. Broussard, who describes herself as disinterested in politics and previously unaware of Weiner, said that she has never met the congressman in person and doesn't "think he's a bad guy." And, she said, she actively participated in "sexting" -- as she has done frequently with other men online -- with the man she presumed to be Weiner. During one flirtatious Facebook chat last month, Broussard said, she issued the man on the other end a challenge. "I asked him to take a picture and write 'me' on it so I would know," Broussard said in an interview. The reply, she says, came moments later. Email records provided to ABC News by Broussard show that at 3:08 p.m. on May 5th she received a message from anthonyweiner@aol.com, which is listed as an email address for Weiner on one campaign document found online. The message included an image of a man, who appears to be Weiner, sporting a tie and a wedding band, holding up the message "me" on a piece of white paper. "I didn't think it was him," she says. "I thought for sure, 'why would someone in that position be doing this?'" Broussard said she wanted to come forward now out of concerns for her own image as an aspiring nurse, and that of her 3-year-old daughter, should her identity be leaked online. More than a dozen photos sent by Broussard to anthonyweiner@aol.com and a second account she believed was Weiner's were obtained and licensed from her by ABC News. "I have my own life, my own things where I'm from and I just wanted to go ahead with them. I thought I could just be private about it, but there's no reason for me to hide," she said. "I didn't do anything wrong. I don't know him. I'm just putting my story out there before anyone else tries to." Broussard said she confided about her experiences with several close friends, including one with Republican political ties. The man, whom she declined to identify, encouraged her to share her story with Matt Drudge and conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart. Breitbart, who first published details of Broussard's story on Biggovernment.com, shared her identity with ABC News.

What a surprise. LOL.
The article speculated.
It is our responsibility to protect that child once that child’s born too. When we start debating a budget, let’s make sure we don’t cut 100,000 vaccines. Let’s make sure we’ve got health insurance. We seem to worship what we cannot see, but as soon as that baby’s born, oh no, we don’t want to be intrusive. Texas is going to shrink government until it fits inside a women’s uterus. Senator Leticia Van de Putte
LOL! "The peter tweeter" advances in the ranks of the libTURDS! The demonRAT/libTURD "peter tweeter" is looking to run for the SENATE now eh? Afterall, this kind of stuff is what you scummy demonRATS/libTURDS love isn't it? I can just hear it now, "Peter Tweeter" for senate!
Spoiled, stupid and ignorant, brain dead phuckwads, libTURD fools, tools, and idiots, are the real sickness; the messiah "king" obammy and his regime are only the symptoms.
I "can't say with certitude [that it isn't me]" What do you bet that Breitbart doesn't get an apology.....

1. I am not surprised in the least. 2. I could not possibly care less. Why are so many so obsessed with a pic of some guy's junk? Ask yourself - perhaps there is something you need to come to grips with.
I'll bet 100 bucks. You've already lost. He apologized to "everyone in the media" that he "misled"...that was in direct response to a question about Breitbart... Shall I tell you were to send it?
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Both Sanford and Ensign did. So did that other idiot...from Louisiana...Vitter... All republicans Boofer... PING us to the post in which you said that they should resign.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" what a freaking idiot.
"Thats because your basically and idiot." Did you see this? Women Who Received Pictures of Weiner’s Penis March on Washington Traffic Snarled for Miles WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – Just minutes after Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) held a press conference to admit his culpability in the scandal involving pictures of his penis sent via Twitter, thousands of women claiming to have received such photos took to the streets of the nation’s capital to demand reparations. Traffic snarled for miles around the Capitol building as the streets filled with the penis-photo recipients, whom police sources said ranged in age from 21 to 22. While there was no official count of the marchers, Fox News estimated the size of the crowd at twenty million while MSNBC said the number was closer to fourteen. But with the number of women traumatized by Rep. Weiner’s penis growing by the hour, Beltway insiders worried that if the women’s demands for reparations prove successful the Federal debt ceiling might have to be raised by another ten trillion. “Just when we’re trying to fix the budget, one big dick comes along and wrecks everything,” one congressional aide said. Mandy Pantella, 21, a cheerleader at the University of Northern South Florida, said she joined the protest after receiving as many as twenty unwanted photos of Rep. Weiner’s penis per day: “I got more spam from his penis than I do from Apple.” As for Mr. Weiner’s performance at today’s press conference, Ms. Pantella was noncommittal: “It’s tough to know what he was really thinking because he was standing behind a podium.”
That was an absolute shocker that he apologized to him and admitted he did it.... Although I'm waiting to hear him try and blame it on Bush sometime later this week...... Dems just have to have a scapegoat!!!!!

The questions now: 1) What else has he routinely lied about...2) Who else has he smeared repeatedly when its noted he's lying (thats a list of at least a dozen Republicans over the past 24 months)...3) Pelosi is one vindictive bitch as we all know...what isn't being talked about much in the media is the fact she and Weiner DESPISE EACH OTHER. There are hundreds of these photo's, and a couple of thousand 'sexting' messages from this punk. I suspect that all of it will come out over the next few days. Drip, drip, drip, liberals. Your favorite insane attack dog - since Grayson was fired anyway - is bleeding out, and that blood is splattering the entire Democratic Party. I'm really enjoying it.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Oh geezus Boofer would you PLEASE stop pretending that you're "inside"...
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Of course you are...being an independent and all... How's Dave Vitter doing these days, Boofer?
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Most notable is that the MSM failed, again. Netork/Newspaper investigation is dead.
How so? This has been front and center inf the NY Times since it broke...
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Exactly... "since" it broke.
Like most contemporary capitalist enterprises their goal is to sell a product, in this case....advertising.
What was there to investigate? Consensual activity between adults?

A Free Press is only as free as its willingness to kowtow to your whims as to what and how it should report?
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Tell that to the corporations that own the presses.
Hey corporations are people too!!! Unless they have to pay taxes...then they ain't...
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" News. Odd for a newspaper, I know.
Unless they have to pay taxes...then they ain't... I keep forgetting about that.
Ask Jayson Blair.
Touche'.
That'll leave a mark lol
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
We have 9% unemployment. We are fighting two wars and 5 Americans just got blown up. We have deficits and debt out the wazoo and a maybe Presidential candidate who believes that an American patriot actually worked for the other side. But you think sexting is worthy of no less than a total mobilization of the National Desk. You must REALLY miss Clinton...
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" He was discovered and fired. Who's been fired from FOx News for making shit up? Take your time...I'm here until 4...
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Like a hook on a large mouthed bass, Boofer? [snicker]

I guess the question that needs to be answered in all of this is "WHY" did he do it...... A). Is he that stupid??? B). Does he think women actually like his Scrawny little body??? C). Is his wife a "Feminist"??? D). All of the above....

Thats easy. Liberals by definition have a core of self loathing. All of them. And because of this, they over compensate in a variety of ways. The over compensating comes in various forms. From assertions - always false - of superior intellect/morality/righteousness, to unbelievable arrogance (see Weiners press conference last Friday, or Clinton's infamous 'I did not have sex with THAT woman...Ms Lewinsky') to absurd assertions about physical prowess, or military service...it all flows from the same character flaw. One year ago Congressman Anthony Weiner was wildly asserting Glen Beck and Goldline were breaking various laws related to fraud. He called for a congressional investigation, via the committee he chaired (or co chaired, can't remember which). Today? Who's the fraud, Weiner? Whats more amusing in this is reviewing the typical media supporters that anchor the little three's news desks. Brian Williams in particular, but also that idiot Wolf Blitzer...and quite a few political commentators on the Left.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Irrelevant.
Hope/Change!! But you think sexting is worthy of no less than a total mobilization of the National Desk. It led to a Congressional resignation. You were wrong and the NYT looked the other way, again. You must REALLY miss Clinton... Compared to Obama? Hell, yes... Moderate bad President > Leftist bad President.
Hey, dummy. Try 4 wars: Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and now Yemen. Your president is a real piece of shit.
war has to do something for entertainment. The voices in his head aren't speaking to him and his imaginary friends have found reasons not to come over anymore.
When he assumed office we were bleeding hundreds of thousands of jobs a month. Is that what you want to revert to? It led to a Congressional resignation. You were wrong and the NYT looked the other way, again. Lee was whoring himself out on Craig's List. If that was the tip what was the iceberg? Understand the difference? Compared to Obama? Hell, yes... Moderate bad President > Leftist bad President. Whom do you believe was a "good" POTUS and why?
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Try 5 Rudy, Korea. /asshole
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Hypocrisy usually is to the hypocrite.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" The iceberg is that 90% of all of them are traitorous whores.
Defending Jayson Blair with "Fox doesn't fire liars" is useless, come on.
