Embattled Congressman Anthony Weiner admitted to tweeting a lewd photo to a woman in Seattle and weepily apologized for his actions at a press conference Monday afternoon. “I don’t know what I was thinking,” he said. Weiner said the crotch shot posted by Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government “was of me, and I sent it” on May 27. He realized that it was posted on Twitter, panicked, and then lied, claiming he was hacked. He also admitted to inappropriate exchanges with at least six other women and suggested some of the photos he sent were graphic. But the Democratic representative from New York refused to resign from office.
