POLS UPDATE: CNN, keep in mind the old saying about the coverup and the crime. And how many hours this man spent on cable news making a Grade-A fool of himself–is this a survivable scandal? It was a week ago, if he had just admitted it and moved on. But now it’s a full-blown circus.

And apparently, we owe Andrew Breitbart an apology.

A week after claiming a hacker had posted a lewd photo to his Twitter account, U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner on Monday apologized for lying about the ordeal and admitting carrying on inappropriate relationships with several women he’d met online.

Weiner, a New York Democrat, said he is not resigning his seat, nor is he planning on separating from his wife. But he said he took responsibility for his actions — both the relationships and for lying about sending the photo of his bulging underwear on his Twitter account.

“To be clear, the picture was of me, and I sent it. I’m deeply sorry for the pain this has caused my wife, and our family, my constituents, my friends, my supporters and my staff,” he said, claiming he’d posted the Twitter photo accidentally as a “joke” and then “panicked.” “I lied because I was ashamed at what I had done, and I didn’t want to get caught.”
