Wuh-oh, Weiner! New York Congressman Anthony Weiner may be on an express train to a land known as Arnold Schwarzenegger/John Edwards/Bill Clinton Scandal-ville. If you recall, last weekend, he was caught up in a Twitter incident surrounding the tweeting of a "lewd photo" depicting a man's underwear bulge. He claimed it was the work of a hacker, but then couldn't say "with certitude" that the photo wasn't his. That was fishy! The latest development: Andrew Breibart's Big Government site reported this morning that a new woman has come forward with photos, chat transcripts, and emails sent to her by the congressman. The evidence seems to suggest the two were involved in "an online, consensual relationship involving the mutual exchange of intimate photographs."
As if that weren't enough, RadarOnline reports that a woman (another one?) identified only as a "Democratic campaign worker" was involved in a lengthy "sexting" exchange with the congressman via Facebook last month. She also says she had phone sex with Weiner for 30 minutes. Ha ha, because the length of time is oh-so-crucial!
Finally, ABC News is saying they're going to come out with the name of one of the women (likely the one who came forward with the new photos) shortly, and Weiner is planning to hold a press conference this afternoon, according to the congressman's office.
Hooooo boy!!! This is getting spicy, huh?! Err ... or. Maybe not at all. With all this new info that's coming out and given what we already know has gone on with other politicians who are still making headlines for their infidelities -- which by comparison seem significantly worse than any sexting/cybersex foul play -- I'm inclined to believe the women who are coming forward. Sure, they could just be seeking 15 minutes of fame, but eh, I bet more likely, Weiner might be a horny guy who likes exchanging nudie pics, sexting, having phone sex, etc. No big surprise there.
More importantly, it's not really any of our business. Of course we're curious, because it's a political scandal, which we can't seem to get enough of these days. But as far as concerning ourselves with the possibility that a congressman did something decidedly wrong? Uh, no. As far as we know, there is no wrongdoing here. It just sounds like consensual tech-sex ... which may or may not be considered infidelity. If any of this is true, the only person who should make it her business and possibly feel wronged is Weiner's wife, but that's between them.
As for the rest of us, maybe we should turn our attention to some of the bigger problems in government. It's not like we're suffering for lack of those.
Who cares if Anthony Weiner is sexting the heck out of ladies on Twitter and Facebook? What does it matter to the average American?

I agree he should be able to do whatever he wants with other constenting adults. Same goes for celebs. But I think it gets alittle tricky when your in a government job position.
But that lady should get kicked in the vag. There was no reason for her to come forward with that information. LOL
Sorry but I disagree. If you can so easily lie to the American people about this, you can lie about anything. When you work for and paid by the citizens of this great country, you should be held to a higher standard than the average american. Now, I won't believe anything that comes at of his mouth.
ON ABCNews, the woman said she came forward because she had her own life, hadn't done anything wrong or illegal and wanted her own story to come from her, not from the rumor mill in the media. Not sure I blame her, really.
I'm sure the money she was offered didn't hurt either though!
HE IS A LIAR!! What part of that dont you understand?? He lied over and over again. There will be more coming out, like I said before. His account wasnt hacked, he lied to everyone. What else does he lie about?? If he can lie about something about simple like sexting, he isnt fit to be a congressman. I TOLD YOU SO. Where is NRAW?? WHo claimed he was hacked and said that there was proof he was hacked??
and if this was a republican, every single one of you on theStir, would be screaming for a resignation. ArmyGal, why should she be kicked in the VAG??
ele4phant, I agree personal life is just that, personal. What I do in my personal like has no effect on my job, but if I am out and about, I still in a sense represent the company I work for with my actions outside of work. But the difference is is that he works for us. He doesnt have the luxery of a personal life and gets to do whatever he damn well pleases. He should know that his private life is public. Its unfortunate.
Chris Lee was a great congressman from our area. He helps the families of flight 3407 so much and help everyone in the district. But he did something stupid and had to resign. Weiner became scum when he lied. if he told the truth, then this would of went away, but he made it worse by lying. Just like Clinton. Clintons impeachment had nothing to do with blowjobs, it had all to do about his LIES under oath.
I feel sorry for his wife and his family. He should of known better
