Over the past two weeks I’ve had the opportunity (or misfortune, depending on your point of view) of covering Rep. Anthony Weiner’s “sexting” scandal. It was immediately clear to me from the outset that he did it, even though he kept denying it. I was hoping the truth would come out here in DC, however when that moment eventually came he was in NYC. On Monday I went up to Capitol Hill to make pictures, and I made two. One from inside the Energy and Commerce Committee’s offices where staffers watched Andrew Breitbart hijack Rep. Weiner’s press conference, and then I made the picture posted above. TV crews had been camped outside his office for over a week and when the disgraced Congressman took the stage in NYC, 4 of them huddled around a smartphone to watch and listen in.
