I have been watching Anthony Weiner's press conference this afternoon. Representative Weiner accepted guilt for the picture (and other pictures) he sent out over the internet. Evidently there are more pictures from other relationships, mostly from before he was married. He stated that he is guilty of poor judgment and regrets his actions. Although I appreciate his apology, I feel that a few things were left out. The thing that stands out to me is that just recently there was a special election in New York's 26th Congressional District because married Republican Congressman Chris Lee resigned after he had sent a shirtless picture to a woman he had met on Craigslist. That was shirtless--there was no underwear involved. Why is Anthony Weiner still in office?
The other aspect of this is the attack on Andrew Breitbart by Representative Weiner and some of the liberal media. Representative Weiner accused Andrew Breitbart of hacking into his twitter account and sending the picture. It is disturbing to me that when Representative Weiner's actions became public he attacked conservative media and was joined in that attack by some liberal media.
If Representative Weiner truly regretted his actions, he would resign. It is really a shame that he did not have the decency to do that.
