Ginger Lee and her attorney, Gloria Allred, concluded a press conference a few minutes ago. The media were called to hear about Lee's relationship with DEMOCRAT Anthony Weiner.
It was a typical Allred event - not very newsworthy.
From the Associated Press:
A former porn actress who said she exchanged emails and messages over Twitter with New York Rep. Anthony Weiner said Wednesday that he asked her to lie about their online communications.
Ginger Lee said she and Weiner exchanged about 100 emails between March and June, beginning after Lee posted a supportive statement about the congressman on her blog. She said they mostly discussed politics, but he would often turn the conversation to sex.
"'I have wardrobe demands too. I need to highlight my package,'" Weiner wrote Lee, in an email read aloud at the news conference by Lee's attorney, Gloria Allred.
Weiner acknowledged last week that he had sent lewd photos and texts to women after a photo of his crotch was posted on Twitter. In an interview two weeks ago, he acknowledged that he had exchanged messages with Lee but didn't elaborate.
Lee said she did not send sexually suggestive messages to Weiner.
"Anytime that he would take our communications in a sexual direction, I did not reciprocate," she said.
Weiner sent Lee an email in early June after the photo of his crotch was sent out on his Twitter account, and "he asked me to lie" about their contact, she said.
Lee said she put out a three-sentence statement on the matter at his request. She did not elaborate but said she was coming forward now to tell the truth and to deny reports that she was in an online sexual relationship with him.
Here's more, from TMZ:
Lee and her attorney, Gloria Allred, repeated some of the information TMZ broke last week ... that Weiner sent her an email after the scandal broke, telling her how to lie about her relationship with him.
Allred read some of the emails Weiner sent Lee, including, "Alright, my package and I are not going to beg. We both see the harzard of going down the path of comparative sexiness."
Another read, "You aren't giving my package due credit." Allred says Lee was a supporter of Weiner's, particularly on the subjects of health care and planned parenthood.
Good grief.
DEMOCRAT Weiner needs to resign.
The longer this scandal lingers, the worse it is for the Democrats.

Weiner needs to resign? What for? It's not as if he actually, in reality, stepped out on his wife like "family values" Newt Gingrich and John McCain did. They also told their mistresses to lie and not say anything, but were never told to resign. The Repubs supported them, rallied behind them, unlike the Dems who throw their candidates under the bus every single time.
It's ridiculous, especially since this is a Porn Star claiming she's a victim of seeing a man's crotch...on a phone.
