Rep. Anthony Weiner Refuses to Resign Amid Ongoing Internet Scandal 
--------------------------------------------------------------------



New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner is continuing to resist calls
from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to resign. Last week, Weiner
admitted to having what he described as "inappropriate" and "explicit"
conversations with six women over Twitter, Facebook, email, and
occasionally on the phone. Weiner checked into a treatment center on
Saturday, a day after the gossip website, TMZ, published photos of
Weiner posing in what appears to be a locker room with a towel around
his waist.
