Weiner's weiner

(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.

Fixed.

Fixed.

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.

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.

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?

I gave this thread five stars for the title alone.

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.
