Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) attends a House markup on Capitol Hill June 2, 2011 in Washington, DC. Weiner declined to comment further this morning on the recent incident involving his Twitter account and a photograph that was sent from that account. )

“That picture was of me, and I sent it,” confessed Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York in a press conference this afternoon, speaking of the now-infamous crotch photo sent from his Twitter account to a female college student last week. Weiner also admitted to having publicly lied about the image’s origins and to electronic relationships with three women over the past six years. Despite the emotional apology, however, he has refused to resign. Will Weiner keep his congressional seat in the consequent storm of public anger and distrust? And what does Weiner’s case say about the intersection between personal privacy and public knowledge in an age where social networking is the norm?
