News: June 2011 Archives

I just watched a few minutes of Congressman Anthony Weiner's apologetic news conference and it was one of the most humiliating things I've ever seen. It was a "high quality" apology in which he accepted responsibility and explicitly admitted to the online relationships he had developed over the past three years and to lying to cover them up. He said all the right things and seemed sincerely contrite, in my opinion. I bet some commentators are saying that it's all an act, but my gut tells me that Weiner is sorry for what he did and has learned a valuable lesson that is often difficult for those who are used to getting away with things.

Uh oh!

Anyway, the story is so stupid. It's obvious to everyone that Weiner sent the picture to the girl. I think the matter would have disappeared over the weekend if he hadn't issued such an implausible denial.
