Anthony Weiner is still supposed to be give a press conference to talk about his ongoing Weinergate scandal, but before that could happen conservative Andrew Breitbart, who has been releasing images of the Congressman all day pulled a Kanye and took questions from the reporters gathered at the Sheraton hotel. Breitbart says he has seen a lot of Weiner's body lately but that he won't release the final, explicit, photo out of "decency." NY1, meanwhile, sites sources who say that Weiner will not be resigning.

Watch for yourself here. More updates to come.

Update 5 p.m.: Okay, now Breitbart's theatrics seem tame after Weiner's actual bombshell press conference. But according to NY Times reporter Jennifer Preston, "To be fair, turns out reporters asked Andrew Breitbart to take the podium because they were swarming him in the back."

Breitbart has an open thread on his website, Big Government, noting Weiner's exact quote at the press conference where the Congressman admitted he did send that infamous crotch shot after all, "I apologize to Andrew Breitbart.”

Your kneejerk hatred of Breitbart is absurd. He's so far 3-0, and vindicated in every instance; must eat you alive.

I don't believe the verb, to Kanye, ever contains an apostrophe, in any form, whatsoever.

Breitbart is quite possibly the most narcissistic person I've ever seen outside of someone who actually is important. At first I thought he was a publicity hound but I really do think he views himself as all that.

Kim Kardashian would disagree.

Breitbart is a scumbag.

That's the way. Attack the messenger when you don't like the message.

There is no message. There's just a scumbag political whore named Breitfart who gets paid to camouflage the right wing's incompetence and ethical degeneracy by inventing Lewinsky style "scandals", which you goobers suck up like crack.
