Weiner speaks as latest scandalous photos hit web

As expected, Andrew Breitbart, the impresario behind the conservative web site Big Government, has leaked new photos that appear to show Democratic New York Representative Anthony Weiner showing off his stuff, so to speak, for an admiring female fan on the web.

UPDATE: In a press conference Monday afternoon, Weiner admitted to carrying on "several inappropriate" electronic relationships with six women over the past three years. He said he will not resign from his government post. More here.

The photos follow Big Government's publication of the now-infamous boxer-briefs image that went out from Weiner's twitter account to a 21-year-old Seattle-area college student two weekends ago.

In one of the photos, which Breitbart claims were obtained prior to the initial Twitter scandal, a shirtless male resembling Weiner from the nose-down flaunts his pectorals.

"The array of images behind the shirtless congressman include several apparently identifying portraits, including a photograph that appears to be of Rep. Weiner with former President Bill Clinton (at above right, behind the left shoulder)," Breitbart wrote in an accompanying blog post. "A Google search for the email address Rep. Weiner allegedly used on that occasion yields an invisible Yahoo! profile with images that appear to be a repository for some of Rep. Weiner's personal photographs."

In another shot, Weiner poses with his cats in a photograph reportedly sent to Breitbart's source in an email bearing a salacious double-entendre as the subject line.

But the more scandalous revelations have arrived in the form of an exclusive--presumably from the same source--on the celebrity gossip website Radar Online. That scoop features a screen grab of a sexually charged Facebook exchange allegedly between Weiner and a middle-aged Nevada woman. (Warning: the material is quite explicit.) The woman also told Radar she had phone sex with Weiner from a congressional office line.

After embarking on a whirlwind of media appearances trying to tamp the Twitter scandal last week, Weiner seems to have slipped off the grid in recent days.

A staff member in Weiner's Brooklyn office referred The Cutline to his press secretary, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

UPDATE: Weiner's camp has announced a press conference for 4 p.m. today.
