Weiner's weiner

[Parkbandit]

(Reuters) - Democratic Representative Anthony Weiner has hired an attorney to investigate the hacking of his Twitter account after a lewd photo was sent to one of his followers, his office said on Tuesday.

"Look, this is a prank, not a terribly creative one and it's a distraction," Weiner said on NY1 TV.

His office confirmed to Reuters that the New York congressman, who has a high profile as an advocate of liberal causes, has hired an attorney to advise him on whether or not he could press criminal charges as a result of the alleged hack of his Twitter account.

Weiner said his account was hacked when a lewd photo of a man in bulging boxer briefs was tweeted to a 21-year-old female college student in Washington state over the weekend.

The posting was quickly deleted and Weiner made light of the incident on his Twitter page.

"More Weiner Jokes for all my guests!" he tweeted with the hashtag "Hacked!"

The student, Gennette Cordova, issued a statement to the New York Daily News that denied she personally knew Weiner but said, "I am a fan."

She denounced rumors she was intimately involved with Weiner, who is married to Huma Abedin, a longtime aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

"All of this is so outlandish that I don't know whether to be pissed off or amused, quite frankly," Cordova said in the statement.

In before the phrase "Right Wing Conspiracy!"

How fucking dumb are some of these politicians?

Meh.. I don't think ALL politicians are retarded.. but if you are sending a pic of your junk over the Internet and you are married and in an elected position, you are indeed a fucking retard.

I already knew Weiner was a retard.. this just confirms it.

Of course.. nothing will come of this because he's a flaming liberal.

Who would want to look at that guys weiner anyways?

Or because someone hacked his twitter?

I understand texting pictures, but do you seriously believe, even in a pass-out drunk stage, even Backlash would think it's a reasonable idea to tweet your junk?

I'll eat crow if it turns out Matthew is stupider than Backlash, but you and I both know that is not possible.

[Axhinde]

Everyone knows twitter is unhackable. Just like hackers don't exist. Or political agendas. Or lobbyists.

[Latrinsorm]

Shouldn't he hire a computer guy to investigate the hacking? If he's hiring a lawyer, does he already know who did it, or is he suing Twitter?

[Tisket]

I gave this thread five stars for the title alone.

[TheEschaton]

I like how PB just jumped to the conclusion that Weiner actually did tweet his (covered) junk to a female college student, and not that he may have been actually hacked.

You can send direct messages via twitter.. so they don't go to everyone, only to an individual. Prior to his weiner pic, he sent a tweet (?) talking about something regarding Seattle. It's probably a coincidence that the girl receiving the "little weiner" is from Seattle. And little weiner is right:

I'm certain that this will be swept under the carpet. Who's going to call him out... his wife? Too bad she's a Hillary Clinton advisor. They will do an "investigation" and determine that it was hacked, but mysteriously they cannot find this genius hacker.

One thing I did learn though.. was Weiner isn't gay. I seriously didn't think a straight guy could be that dramatic.

[Parkbandit]

I like how PB just jumped to the conclusion that Weiner actually did tweet his (covered) junk to a female college student, and not that he may have been actually hacked.

It's almost as good as you immediately defending him... probably not even reading the article.

[TheEschaton]

I did read the article. Weiner is smarter than most people, and pretty brashly outspoken. He's young, and tech savvy. I don't think he's this dumb.

Plus, if the picture was private to only one person, how'd it come out in the first place, and why did it have to be deleted, according to the article which you may have read but can't seem to comprehend? Why would he need to comment on it publicly, including on his Twitter feed, with a joke about more Weiner for Weiner fans? The girl involved didn't seem to be the one who reported it, and certainly if she was involved in the affair in some way she wouldn't have.

-TheE-

[TheEschaton]

P.S. how do you have a picture of it if he only sent it to one person? Why does that picture show it showing up on his twitter feed?

Jesus, and you accuse me of irrationally jumping to conclusions, when you fail to apply critical thought to anything, let alone this.

[Bobmuhthol]

Technically he could have messaged her the yfrog link which she then broadcast, but even still, putting it on yfrog is inherently publicizing it.

[Parkbandit]

Jesus, and you accuse me of irrationally jumping to conclusions, when you fail to apply critical thought to anything, let alone this.

You are irrationally jumping to conclusions.. because you fail to apply critical thinking to my post. Read my post again, responding to Keller. Focus on the part where Keller is talking about sending a picture to everyone on his twitter account.. and I make a point that it is possible to direct a message to one individual.

Could it be possible that he meant to send his tiny penis picture to that one individual, and accidently sent it to his entire following? I realize you live in a reality where your beloved Weiner could possibly do anything wrong... but that reality isn't where the rest of us live.

[TheEschaton]

And again, I don't think he's that dumb. If you're sending weiner pictures to people, you tend to not do things haphazardly if you're sending it over a medium that is supposed to be mass media in nature.

Where's the beef?

[Parkbandit]

Even if you've spent this holiday weekend barbecuing and laying on a beach, and unless you're a GOP House member, you've probably heard that Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY) had an interesting twitter situation happen on Friday night.

In the midst of the Congressman tweeting about a hockey game, a lewd photo appeared in his timeline. It was "addressed" to a young lady in Seattle. It was quickly removed but not before being spread far and wide.

If you're not a twitter user, you may not be aware how easy it is to accidentally send a private message as a public broadcast. Here's my friend Iggy asking his 3614 followers if we're on for lunch tomorrow and here's his correction later. Here's reality star Lisa Vanderpump wishing someone well and her correction. These are just two examples in the last few days. It happens all the time. It's happened to the best of us.

That's why it was clear to most regular twitter users exactly what had happened. Congressman Weiner meant to send the photo privately but made the same mistake as Iggy and Lisa--with slightly worse-off consequences.

He immediately pronounced that he had been hacked. Blogger Ace of Spades took to his own twitter account through the weekend to completely demolish that possibility. Among the reasons it's just not possible that Weiner's account had been hacked:

1. Anyone who has ever experienced a hacking knows that hackers generally change the hackee's password. Weiner was able to get right back into his twitter account to delete the tweet and to continue his own tweeting (which included joking about being "#hacked!" and calling Congresswoman Bachman "crazy" as if she's the one sending pictures of her genitalia to co-eds).

2. Weiner's twitter account is a "verified" twitter account, that means twitter has confirmed that it is indeed the account of the named person. Twitter takes the verified status very seriously and would have immediately pulled it if a hacking had occurred. Additionally, twitter could provide a list of all IP addresses that had accessed Weiner's account. Why hasn't he pursued that?

3. The most damning is the lack of involvement from law enforcement agents. If this was actually a hack, the police and FBI would be involved. Sarah Palin's email got hacked and her hacker went to jail.

There was a lot of suspicious activity following the posting of the photo, such as Weiner deleting all of his photos and the recipient of the photo immediately deleting her Twitter and Facebook accounts. The girl clearly had a crush on the Congressman, referring to him as her boyfriend in a previous tweet. Sure, she was likely joking (and I admit to having referred to half a dozen musicians, chefs and conservative political writers as my "future husband" in my 20's) but it seems awfully convenient that a suggestive pic was sent to someone who might be open to receiving it.

Additionally, the co-ed was one of under 200 people Weiner followed on twitter (he is followed by tens of thousands). Why her? Peter Ingemi, "Da Tech Guy" explains just how suspicious this is in an op-ed in the NY Post today:

Coincidences all, but there’s one more that millions of Twitter users will understand best: On Twitter, famous people tend to have tens of thousands to millions of followers — but they themselves follow only a fraction of that amount. Rep. Weiner is a man of national prominence, a rising star in the Democratic Party, frequently on TV, a past and likely future candidate for mayor. He knows and is known by thousands of movers, shakers, members of the press and politicians on the city, state and national levels. Yet, as of yesterday, he was following fewer than 200 others — and, with all those famous folks to choose from, one of the few he followed was Cordova, a 21-year-old college student who lives nearly 3,000 miles away in Bellingham,Wash.
To note that this is fishy is an understatement. My husband only follows 37 people on twitter and if one of them was a college girl he didn't know, I'd have a slight issue with that.

What had been extra annoying for anyone paying attention this weekend is the media's "reporting" on this amounted to taking the word of Anthony Weiner's spokesman. I actually gave the media the benefit of the doubt that it was a holiday weekend, many were on vacation, and it does seem that the story has indeed picked up steam on Tuesday when everyone got back to work. But some reporters seem unclear on the duties of their profession. Howard Kurtz, host of CNN's Reliable Sources program, Washington bureau chief for The Daily Beast and, as described on his Wikipedia page, "the nation's most influential media reporter" declared that the "whole thing appears to be faked," based on no evidence at all. He further proclaimed that people "don't understand that journalists need evidence." I always thought journalists collected evidence and didn't just hope some would pop up. Crazy (like Bachman), I know!

Weiner has now changed the official story from "hacked" to "prank", presumably because one requires law enforcement intervention and the other can be dismissed with an eye-roll. He is trying to seem above this little "sending lewd photos to a 21-year old" scandal. He won't answer whether that's him in the photo. He nonsensically compares the photo being posted to a heckler at an event (which would only make sense if he heckled himself). He brusquely says he'd like to go back to work. I'm sure he would. I'm sure Mark Foley, Larry Craig, Mark Sanford, Bill Clinton, Eliot Spitzer, Chris Lee and heck, John Edwards, wanted to go back to their very important work too. Our world doesn't work like that. The truth will come out and it seems very obvious what that truth will be.

No way Weiner can be this dumb...

[Tgo01]

Whoever wrote that editorial could have saved herself from looking like an idiot if only she read these forums, that way she could have read TheEschatons post and realized that no way someone could accidentally do something like that therefore it has to be a hacker.

1. Right, because no one can think one step ahead. It's totally implausible that someone could gain access to the account, tweet the picture, and not change the password. All hackers are created equal and all of them are mindless and predictable. No speculation here.

2. This isn't even an argument. Again, one person, one time, tweeting something that immediately was deleted. Twitter is not in the business of monitoring this guy's account in real-time. He's not that important. Why won't they release a list of IP addresses that accessed his account? Because a court hasn't ordered them to.

3. This just happened. I can't believe we haven't seen an arrest!!!


I'm not saying he did or didn't send a small dick to a 21-year-old but he would have to be a total fucking moron to do it. None of the arguments presented are even remotely persuasive.

[Cephalopod]

Bill O'Reilly throws down the gauntlet to the FBI (http://www.mediaite.com/tv/oreilly-gives-fbi-24-hours-to-confirm-or-deny-investigation-into-rep-weiner-twitter-scandal/)

After three days of intense scrutiny, confusion, and still no definitive answers, Bill O’Reilly got to give his take on “Weinergate,” and reserved judgment on Rep. Anthony Weiner, those reporting on the Rep. Weiner, and any other parties involved. Any other parties, that is, except for the FBI. Upon learning that the FBI would neither confirm not deny an investigation into the matter, O’Reilly gave FBI Director Robert Mueller a 24-hour ultimatum to tell the American people what they intend to do about the alleged hacking.


If there's an investigation, I'm not sure what the FBI could share... but I suppose they could at least confirm there is an investigation?

True but this would have to be the most boring hacker in the history of forever.

[TheEschaton]

The hacker's purpose wouldn't be to take over the Twitter account and pose as Weiner. His purpose would be to embarass Weiner publicly.

What timeline was this all in? Was he tweeting about the hockey game, then 2 minutes later, the picture was tweeted, and then, a minute after that, shit was deleted? That would be more fishy, but yeah, it looks less good for him now.

These arguments are far more persuasive than the one of an elected official saying a communication tool he uses frequently was maliciously hacked but it was only a prank ( a prank that could get him 'fired' from his job and career ) and that he won't talk about it any further.

If that twitter account was mine in his position, you are damn sure I would make sure whoever did it would get the book thrown at him/her. Pretty much anyone in that position and with that much to lose would feel the same way... but not the Weiner. It was a "prank".....

[Parkbandit]

The hacker's purpose wouldn't be to take over the Twitter account and pose as Weiner. His purpose would be to embarass Weiner publicly.

Based on his reaction, I would tend to agree that he did it and wanted to play it off. Then, finding out that he would need to have a criminal investigation done decided that he has too much dirty laundry and is now tap dancing for all he is worth.

[Parkbandit]

A day after telling reporters that he's "not going to talk about this anymore," Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) broke his silence Wednesday about the controversy surrounding a lewd photo sent from his Twitter account.

"This was a circumstance where someone committed a prank on the internet," he told MSNBC's Luke Russert. "I didn't send [that] picture out" the congressman said, though he does not know who did. Is the photo of him? "I can't say with certitude" he told Russert.

"It was a prank," Weiner reiterated. "This is not a national security matter. We're not making a federal cases out of this."

"I'm not sure it rises -- no pun intended -- to that level," he continued.

Weiener said he has hired a private security company to investigate how his account has been hacked.

Last weekend, a lewd photo of a man's bulging underpants was sent to a 21-year-old female college student in Seattle from Weiner's Twitter account. It was quickly deleted, but a frenzy of coverage and comment ensued on blogs, cable news outlets and other media. Weiner's spokesman said that the congressman's Twitter account had been hacked and dismissed the episode as a prank, but this week the congressman hired a lawyer, prompting additional rumors to swirl.

Earlier this week, the colorful and sometimes combative congressman who represents parts of Brooklyn and Queens was characteristically sharp tongued, refusing to answer reporters' questions about it, and even calling one a "jackass" for interrupting him. He insisted that he wanted to move on from the incident, which was distracting from his work on Capitol Hill. But there was no sign the story, or the speculation about who may have been responsible for tweeting the photo, was fading.

It wasn't a crime, it doesn't seem to be anything. And hell, he may not have even sent it (though he probably did from what I can tell).

Sure, his wife might have issue with it. Then again, she might not care at all. Some folks have open relationships like that. Its between him and his wife.

In a press gaggle with reporters, Weiner suggested that the lewd picture may have been "manipulated" and he has retained an internet security firm to investigate. He refused to answer repeated questions about whether photos exist of him in his underwear and whether one may have been "manipulated."

"There are photographs of me in the world. Yes," he said. "We dont know where the photograph came from. We dont know for sure whats on it, we dont know for sure if its been manipulated, if it was taken out of one place and dropped in something else. And i'm going to let this firm try to get to the bottom of all that."

He said he for sure did not SEND the photo.

On why there isn't a U.S. Capitol Police investigation, he said he's retained an Internet security firm that's going to give him advice on next steps. He doesn't believe it's a federal case.

"I believe this is a case of someone sending a nuisance Twitter making fun of my name. We all get spam."

So now it's either been manipulated somehow or it's possible it's a picture of him that was 'taken out of one place and dropped in something else.' Yes, it's perfectly normal to assume there are lots of innocent pictures out there of him in his underwear, this was just taken out of context.


He joked that comedian Jon Stewart may have been right, referring to the fact that Stewart joked it couldn't have been him due to its size.

Weiner tried to deflect questions with jokes. He said, in one attempt at humor, that he regrets being a little bit "stiff" yesterday with reporters.

I hope this guy isn't planning on getting out of politics and becoming a stand up comedian.

Republicans control the House. Initiate an investigation. If there is someone who is hacking an elected official's accounts, then that individual needs to be prosecuted.

Had this been a Republican, steps would already be in motion to get rid of him.

[EasternBrand]

Had this been a Republican, it would've been sent to a dude. And his balls would have been WAY bigger.

Yeah, remember how quickly the Republicans in the senate moved to get rid of Ensign once his affair was revealed?

Remember how quickly Republicans moved to get rid of Larry Craig once he was arrested? Yeah, they got him out of office in just over a month. Wait, no, he wound up serving the rest of his term.

(The point being that Republicans are hardly ever anxious to kick out one of their own. Democrats are just as guilty (see: Rangel), just don't pretend the GOP is more 'aggressive' in eliminating their scandal-makers.)

Recent history? Yea, Chris Lee did almost the same exact thing.. and was quickly asked to step down.

Recent history? Yea, Chris Lee did almost the same exact thing.. and was quickly asked to step down.

Chris Lee resigned the day his dirty laundry was aired... given other scandals, that doesn't seem like he was 'asked' to step down. He just knew what was best to do.

On the flip side, Eric Massa resigned within a day of his allegations surfacing.

John Ensign, in contrast, stepped down... last month. His scandal started in 2009.

Why try playing this game? Neither party is more moral or noble in getting their scandal-makers to get out of the way.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — On Wednesday afternoon, New York Congressman Anthony Weiner refused to deny that he’s the one in the lewd photo that was sent to a college student. But later that night opened the door to the very real possibility that it could, indeed, be him.

In a live cable news interview he acknowledged it might be a private picture of him that ended up on a public Twitter account.

He told the interviewer, “It could be.”

It was another weird turn in a story that seems to get more bizarre by the day.

Earlier in the day, CBS 2′s Marcia Kramer asked the six-term Democrat the $64,000 question that is at the center of the so-called “Weinergate” Twitter scandal.

“The picture” in question is the one of a man’s bulging underwear that was sent from the congressman’s Twitter account to a pretty coed. On Wednesday afternoon, Weiner wouldn’t say with certainty whether it was or wasn’t him.

“Well, we’re going to try to find out exactly what happened. My system was hacked into. The photograph does not look familiar to me but before I say anything I want to make sure that it wasn’t manipulated, that something wasn’t dropped in to my account,” Rep. Weiner said at the time.

Weiner continued to bob and dodge, even after his friend, comedian Jon Stewart, hinted that he was in a unique position to judge whether the bulging briefs belonged to the congressman.

When advised that most people would know whether a picture is of them or not, Weiner quipped, “Jon Stewart might have had it right last night, that it didn’t look like me for embarrassing reasons.”

It was the recently married Weiner, who wants to be the New York City’s next mayor, doing big-time damage control.

“This was a hoax. It was committed on me. It was relatively easy to do, making fun of my name,” Weiner said.

Weiner had a lot to repair after stonewalling reporters’ questions for days and using his trademark temper as a tool.

“I’m going to have to ask that we follow some rules here and one of them is going to be you ask the questions, I do the answers. Does that seem reasonable?” Weiner told a group of reporters.

But when pushed to give an answer, Weiner cranked up the intensity a bit.

“That would be perfectly reasonable, perfectly reasonable. You do the questions. I do the answers. That jackass interrupts me,” Weiner said.

The outburst was reminiscent of a heated discussion on the House floor last summer between Weiner and Congressman Peter King over a health bill for 9/11 responders.

“I will not yield to the gentleman!” Weiner screamed during that memorable exchange.

The political implications, dodging questions of the picture and refusing to explain why he follows a bevy of women on Twitter could affect his future political ambitions.

“It’s a culture of gossip and entertainment and Anthony Weiner has now found himself as the butt of gossip and entertainment,” political consultant Hank Sheinkopf said.

“For the time being it casts pallor on whether he can be a reasonable candidate for mayor, too many questions. Ultimately, people will forgive Twitter but they won’t forgive not coming clean.”

Sheinkopf said the longer the Twitter scandal goes on, the bigger the damage.

“This could be the end of a career but who knows?” Sheinkopf said.

The congressman said he has hired the Washington DC law firm of Baker Hostettler to sort the whole thing out and help him decide his next step. He also said his new wife is four-square behind him.

You seriously have to question this guy's judgement and the advice of the people he has chosen to be around him at this point. Seriously? I guess he just answered the question "Is he really this stupid?".

You don't know if this picture is you or not? How many pictures have you taken of your little chubby in underwear not to know if it is or not?

[CrystalTears]

This is the dumbest "news" so far this year.

[Parkbandit]

I think it's awesome. I think it's awesome that a guy named Weiner, who comes across as an arrogant little prick, is in this situation. It's even funnier to watch him take a story, that he could have easily diffused, and turn it into a real news story.

[CrystalTears]

That's why I feel it's ridiculous. It was made a big deal initially (the girl who got it doesn't seem to be upset by it), and he was retarded and made it bigger than it needed to be (pun may be intended).

[Parkbandit]

Girl is now upset by it... she had finals this week and has been completely hounded. So badly, her mother is now upset about it.

I think we can all agree though.. Weiner has really fucked this up. Oh yea....

[Cephalopod]

I was listening to Weiner on Maddow last night, and I'm disappointed she didn't press him harder on 'Is this picture you?' -- he's waffling on that point and it is not looking good.

His reasoning seems to be there's a remote chance this is a cropped and manipulated image of him... so he doesn't want to out-right deny it's him. That's pretty bullshit. He can't recognize the underwear?

I tried to think of a scenario that backs up his stance. Basically, if there's some picture of him where he's in his underwear and someone cropped and manipulated it to make it look 'incriminating', you'd think he'd be able to pretty easily say: "Yep, that's me. But it's from this incident back in college when I was being hazed." or some shit.

It's less about him recognizing his own underwear and more about him taking pictures of his own crotch. If you are saying that he doesn't want to say it's not him because there might be a picture out there that was cropped and manipulated, I'm pretty sure the American public will be understanding in a situation like that.

I wasn't sure before, but the more he talks, the more he sounds like a typical politician who got caught doing something he shouldn't have been and now is looking for an out.

[Keller]

Shouldn't the question be: "Did you tweet this picture" and not "is this a picture of you?"

[Parkbandit]

Shouldn't the question be: "Did you tweet this picture" and not "is this a picture of you?"

He's already claimed that he didn't tweet the picture and that his account was hacked.. oh wait, hacked sounds like a crime.. let's just say he was pranked.


Or because someone hacked his twitter?

I understand texting pictures, but do you seriously believe, even in a pass-out drunk stage, even Backlash would think it's a reasonable idea to tweet your junk?

I'll eat crow if it turns out Matthew is stupider than Backlash, but you and I both know that is not possible.

I think you might want to find a crow.. and also issue Backlash a formal apology.

[Parkbandit]

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) has scheduled a press conference for Monday at 4 p.m., presumably in response to a series of shirtless photos of the congressman posted on the conservative website BigGovernment.com this afternoon.

According to the site, the photos came from a woman who says the congressman sent them to her.

Weiner is coming off a tough week of dancing around questions about a photo of a man's crotch that appeared on his Twitter account. He maintains he didn't send the tweet, but could not say "with certitude" whether the photograph was of him.

http://www.politico.com/blogs/glennthrush/0611/Weiner_to_hold_press_conference_Monday_evening.htm l

Let me guess.... his response will be something like "I can't say "with certitude" whether the new photos or sext messages were of me or by me". Bonus points if he blames the story on the Right wing extremists.

Hope it's a live news conference.. should be funny.

[NocturnalRob]

Hope it's a live news conference
It is. Any chance he steps down, or is it too early for that? I mean, if there's other stuff out there (and there clearly is) of a more graphic nature, it may behoove him to get out in front of it and just resign.

He'll need to be forced out by a house ethics commission at this point, since he'd probably get re-elected in his district in a heartbeat.

When the house tries to start an ethics commission, they will be accused of not spending time on the economy or some such. Besides, those take forever, and prob wouldn't even force him out.

I mean, Rangel is still there, is he not?

Next up: Some skank says she had sex with him.

1) Admits it.
2) Not resigning.
3) Believes he will be re-elected.
4) Believes that he and his wife will not separate.
5) Actually wants people to believe that he hasn't had sex outside his marriage.

[Parkbandit]

I did read the article. Weiner is smarter than most people, and pretty brashly outspoken. He's young, and tech savvy. I don't think he's this dumb.

Plus, if the picture was private to only one person, how'd it come out in the first place, and why did it have to be deleted, according to the article which you may have read but can't seem to comprehend? Why would he need to comment on it publicly, including on his Twitter feed, with a joke about more Weiner for Weiner fans? The girl involved didn't seem to be the one who reported it, and certainly if she was involved in the affair in some way she wouldn't have.

The big panel on MSNBC:

"I think he handled it fairly well"
"If it doesn't impact what he's doing as a legislator, then who cares"
"As a Catholic, if you vow to sin no more, then you deserve forgiveness"
"Today was a masterful performance. He was very direct, he let a lot of people ask him some tough questions"
"This speech will be used by crisis management trainers as a how to"

Holy shit, I love watching MSNBC on things like this.

Apparently since Weiner admitted none of these six women had ever had sex with him, MSNBC needed to step up and blow him.

I don't disagree. I've had the displeasure of having dinner with the man three times. He talks over everyone, only cares about his opinion, and monopolizes conversations entirely. My friend's parents put up with it because they're fanboys. I content myself with asking him why he never ran for office again.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

On the other hand, Glenn Beck is a fat bag of douche. He is fucking awful.

I listen to Fox News on satellite radio to and from work, and occasionally I'll hit his timeslot... I've never watched/listened to him before, but good god he's an arrogant, conclusion jumping, uninformed pile of crap. I'm honestly amazed he's on TV, I consider him mentally incapable of reasoned thought.

I can only imagine people listening/watching him because of the shock factor, like watching Springer? I fear for our country if people take him seriously.

[Cephalopod]

So, I'm seeing a lot of tweets asking why Chris Lee resigned and Weiner didn't. Here's an example:


Someone should take a look at liberals who shouted for Chris Lee's resignation and see what they say about Weiner #doublestandard


Were there liberals shouting for his resignation? I honestly don't remember. Lee took the opposite tack from Weiner and just quickly resigned as soon as his scandal first broke, so I don't think there was really any time for anyone to call for it. Am I mis-remembering? I'm thinking about this mostly because us liberal hippy scum are generally pretty, well... liberal over this sort of thing.

[Tgo01]

Am I misreading your post or are you saying liberals are generally pretty easy going when it comes to men (and women?) cheating on their spouses?

Oh, and "You know, I forgot he was black tonight for an hour."

Funny thread!

It's a shame.. I thought everyone could use a kosher weiner.

Weiner's handling it like David Vitter. Ridiculous on both fronts, but they're media savier than a lot of the others.

There was nothing savvy about the way Weiner handled himself for the past week. What he did today, he was forced to do. He was cornered and the only way out of it was to appear to be honest.

It's hilarious that you have to bring up a Republican though... like it's impossible for you to have an opinion about just Weiner and his actions.

[NocturnalRob]

He was cornered and the only way out of it was to appear to be honest.
I still don't believe that he told the whole story.

[Parkbandit]

Oh, I bet he's had sex with some women during his marriage... there just isn't any proof of it, so he can deny it.

[HJFudge]

Said it earlier, I'll repeat it.

Does. Not. Matter.

He can have consensual sex with the entire tri-state area for all the hell I care.

I'm much more upset by Cantor's recent: "Well people hit by hurricanes, we'll send you financial relief...if we decide we can afford it."

One of the above has an impact on a great deal of lives. One has an impact on a private marriage.

[Tgo01]

I love political apologists. Doesn't matter that an elected official cheats on his wife, doesn't matter that he lies and accuses others of doing illegal activities in order to cover up his lies, doesn't matter that he cares more about himself and won't step down knowing this will be a huge distraction for his entire party as they try to get things done in Congress. Doesn't matter.

What DOES matter is what someone of the other political party did. Now that shit matters.

I'd expect he stays in office. He shouldn't. This is especially moronic coming from somebody young enough to know better.

There IS more here. There was with Vitter. Both are keeping it to the stupid yet not complete activity.

Reporting from Washington — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has asked the House Ethics Committee to investigate Rep. Anthony Weiner after the New York congressman admitted to lying about explicit messages he sent women online.

"I am deeply disappointed and saddened about this situation; for Anthony's wife, Huma, his family, his staff and his constituents," the Democratic leader said in a statement. "I am calling for an Ethics Committee investigation to determine whether any official resources were used or any other violation of House rules occurred."

Even as he acknowledged sending lewd photos and messages online, Weiner said at a Manhattan news conference Monday afternoon that he would not resign and that he was confident he had not violated House rules or his oath as a member of Congress. He said he would make the case to his constituents that he should continue serving despite his personal failings.

Weiner, who apologized for lying to the media when an explicit photo was first circulated online, told reporters Monday that he did not use his work-issued BlackBerry to take any of them.

A spokesman for the campaign arm of House Republicans called on the Democratic leadership "to explain why Congressman Weiner's actions never aroused any suspicion, and why they rushed to his defense."

Rep. Steve Israel, who represents Long Island and chairs the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, backed Pelosi's call for an ethics investigation.

"Congressman Anthony Weiner engaged in a deep personal failure and inappropriate behavior that embarrassed himself, his family, and the House. Ultimately, Anthony and his constituents will make a judgment about his future," Israel said.

House Ethics Committee officials declined to comment on the matter.

It DOESNT matter if an elected official cheats on his wife. And that he lied?! Color me shocked...Shocked! that a man would lie about cheating on his wife.

Did he accuse anyone, specifically? Like...in particular? I honestly do not know. If he DID, then yes, that matters.

Otherwise he is just guilty of being dumb and a pretty sleazy husband

It isn't the party that matters, its whose actions they effect. But please, continue to totally miss the whole damn point.

Seriously guys. Its like your purposefully dense. Well, thats probably the case but...still. It troubles me that folk like you are allowed to vote when you obviously have your priorities entirely mixed up.

Weiner's handling it like David Vitter. Ridiculous on both fronts, but they're media savier than a lot of the others.

The difference being Vitter, as well as Spitzer, engaged in criminal acts. Last I checked, texting your covered junk wasn't illegal.

This will be left up to the voters of his district and his family. Outside of "technically" cheating on his wife ... the worst thing he could have done in reference to his position would be to have used congressional resources. If that's the case, he can pull a Christi and write a check.

[EasternBrand]

I'll never fully understand the national obsession with a pristine sexual morality in our elected officials, but lying, making excuses, shifting blame, and attempting a cover-up make him unfit for his current office. If he's still serious about a mayoral run, I suggest he join the Rent is Too Damn High Party.

Fucking phone sex, I mean, Jesus. What is up with these politicians and their need for sex? Isn't his wife hot?Yeah, pretty hot.
Congressman Anthony Weiner engaged in a deep personal failure and inappropriate behavior that embarrassed... the House.Isn't embarrassment relative though? Like if Snooki walks around with her fly down, that's almost a step up from her usual behavior.

Weiner just sat idly by while others accused Breitbart all the while sniveling "I...I...I'm a victim! My account was hacked!"

He might as well have accused him personally.

[Tsa`ah]

Technically cheating?

Are you fucking kidding me?

It depends upon the individual and their own definition of cheating. To some it may be defined as intimate contact, sexual contact, flirting, or any other degree of personal intimacy.

I'm sure if you to hop aboard the way back machine and go back to the advent of 900 numbers and phone sex ... you would have conflicting answers on whether or not calling said numbers constituted cheating. It's really no different today.

The only personal definitions that matter in this case are those that have the ability to vote for or against him ... and of course his wife.

[Tsa`ah]

Weiner just sat idly by while others accused Breitbart all the while sniveling "I...I...I'm a victim! My account was hacked!"

Unless he explicitly stated that Breitbart hacked his account and someone can actually source that statement .... he didn't make the claim.

"If only I cared about this at all I would post a reply. Oh wait."

The article I read says Weiner apologized to Breitbart because he was the one who was initially accused of the hacking, it didn't say Weiner did the accusing, that doesn't mean he didn't though. Either way he felt responsible enough to apologize.

PBesque image spam

You can disagree all you want, it doesn't change the fact that there is only one person and one group of people that can determine if cheating occurred. The voters in his district and his wife. Disagreement also doesn't alter the opinions of those who don't believe said acts constitute cheating.

I, Anthony Weiner, take you, Huma Abedin, to be my wife;
and I promise,
before God and these witnesses,
to be your loving and faithful husband;
in plenty and in want;
in joy and in sorrow;
in sickness and in health;

Do you believe your wife would constitute it as cheating on her to do what Weiner has done over the past year?

Unless they are swingers... it's cheating. Weiner has given the indication that they are not.. why else would he have to apologize to "especially" his wife?
