For the past few years I have engaged in several inappropriate conversations conducted over Twitter, Facebook, e-mail and occasionally on the phone with women I have met online.

A former congressman on his sexting habit: I have made terrible mistakes. I have not been honest with myself, my family, my constituents, my friends and supporters and the media.

New York lost a classic. Carmine was an old school New Yorker.

Twitter is a kind of verbalization of people yelling at their television sets or gnashing their teeth at the newspaper.

Sooner or later they are going to live in a New York City where gay marriage is not only legal, it is common, and they don’t even notice.

I am here today to again apologize for the personal mistakes I have made and the embarrassment I have caused. I make this apology to my neighbors and my constituents, but I make it particularly to my wife, Huma.

You've gotta stop making stuff up.
