Weiner's Weiner in a Pickle

Anthony has been caught with his pants down. Well, sorta. It seems he was tweeting a crotch shot to his college-age girlfriend in Seattle when he accidentally tweeted it publicly instead of as a DM (direct message). He is spinning now (saying his account was hacked). But it looks like the snake is lying.

Big Government broke the story here:

Hacked or hung?

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY 9″) finds himself in a late night online pickle.

This evening a photo surfaced on Congressman Weiner’s yfrog account and in his verified Twitter timeline of a man in his underwear with an erection. The photo was reportedly sent to a woman on Twitter. We’ve protected her name and her account, which was at one time verified to be active but has since been deleted after the photo in question was deleted. Coincidentally, the rest of the photos in the congressman’s alleged yfrog account were also deleted around 11 p.m. eastern.

Is this the Tweet in question? Was Weiner hacked?

Weiner, who married Hillary Clinton’s longtime assistant, Huma Abedin, last year, has been Tweeting about hockey this evening. Confusion reigns online as puzzled Weiner followers wonder what occurred to Weiner’s timeline.

The photo, stored at Weiner’s alleged yfrog account, is connected to his verified Twitter account. Were his yfrog and Twitter accounts hacked as well?

Rep. Weiner claims that his Facebook account was hacked. We were unable, at this late hour, to reach anyone at Congressman Weiner’s offices for comment.

Politico: Weiner Has Not Reponded On If He Reported ‘Hack’ to Authorities  at Politico

As one commenter pointed out at Politico:

First, he posted three hours before the alleged hack post, and four minutes after. This means he somehow wrestled control of his account back from the hackers quickly. How is this possible? That would be quite a feat, either through password guessing or some sort of Twitter security hole. If it happened, why didn’t we hear about how?

Second, if he lost control of the account, standard Twitter practice is to remove the “Verified Account” status until Twitter can confirm the account is back under the control of the named person. Yet, the @RepWeiner account as of this writing is still Verified.

Third, such hacks these days are crimes, and are especially serious when directed at Members of Congress. If his Twitter account has been compromised, what else would the attackers have access to? Instead of reporting the attack to the FBI though, Weiner has made jokes, and in fact keeps joking about it. This is unreasonable behavior in the face of an actual attack, however if it wasn’t hacked, then to report one would probably be a crime in itself.

Rep. Weiner Spokesperson Lies To ‘New York Post’

There are at least two demonstrably false statements issued to the New York Post on behalf of Representative Anthony Weiner by his spokesperson, Dave Arnold.

Here’s the first [emphasis mine]:

The tech-savvy congressman saw the picture almost immediately. He had been tweeting about a hockey game just a few minutes earlier.

An analysis of Rep. Anthony Weiner’s Twitter timeline has already been done here at Big Government that clearly shows Weiner’s Twitter account had been publicly silent for 3 hrs. and 24 mins. prior to the Tweeting of the inappropriate image. Consequently, there was no Tweet about a hockey game “just a few minutes earlier.”  Therefore, that statement simply isn’t true. 

Rep. Weiner’s spokesman then falsely claims that after removing the image in question, Weiner joked about the incident a mere 15 minutes later. Again, from the Post:

Weiner pulled the shot himself, but not before it had been retweeted and screen-grabbed by several followers. Weiner, a voracious user of Twitter, wrote a humorous response about 15 minutes later.

But here is the question. Why is it, every time a Republican gets caught doing something stupid or immoral, he resigns? From Mark Foley to Jack Ryan. (Obama was allegedly behind the unsealing of Ryan's divorce papers, forcing his withdrawal from the 2004 Senate race. His replacement, Alan Keyes, would go on to lose the general election to State Senator and future President of the United States, Barack Obama.) Barney Frank ran a gay prostitution ring out of his apartment, not to mention the subsequent discovery of marijuana plants growing at his home. The Democrats never pay a price for wrongdoing. Barney Frank went on to chair the House Committee on Financial Services (presiding over the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac debacle).

In February, former Republican congressman Chris Lee resigned after an extramarital online flirtation was exposed. A Democrat replaced Lee in last week's special election.

As for Weiner, I was not fooled by his recent marriage to Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's alleged paramour. I always thought it was a backdoor Democrat deal. The rumor mill was rife for years. Huma and Hillary were closerthanthis. Everybody knew.

Weiner is a snake. He'd sell his mother for power and DC clout. Clearly, he was happy to be the beard.

From BigHeadDC (2007):

.... a top level U.S. Department of Justice official is telling Big Head DC that Michael Musto's rumor about Hillary Clinton fooling around with one of her top female aides Huma Abedin is based in reality!

"I am close enough to Hillary and Huma to tell you that this ‘rumor' is true," the official says. "It is well known inside her campaign that Hillary and Huma are an item.

"If you call Hillary's residence in DC first thing in the morning, Huma answers the phone," the official continues. "Same thing late at night and on the road. It's a closely guarded secret that Hillary's inner circle guards at all costs."

Flashback November 2007:

You read it at Atlas first here back on Halloween. Drudge has it now. I am not reporting it because it is a lesbian thang, I am concerned and distressed that a Muslim raised in Saudi Arabia whose father was an 'Islamic scholar' in Saudi Arabia  would have such intimate access to a would be President.

At the age of 2, her family then relocated to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where she lived until returning to the States for college. She attended George Washington University. Her father, who died when she was 17, was an Islamic and Middle Eastern scholar of Indian decent. He founded his own institute devoted to Western-Eastern and interfaith understanding and reconciliation and published a journal focusing on Muslim minorities living in the diaspora. Her mother, a renowned professor in Saudi Arabia, is Pakistani.

And from this puff piece on Huma:

“No one knows anything about her,” said one political aide. “She’s like Hillary’s secret weapon.”

Weiner planned on winning New York's next Mayoral election. He was counting on Bill (who presided over the Huma/Weiner nuptials) and Hillary Clinton's significant support. Quid pro quo, ya know. Let's pray this buries any shot he had.

Is Weiner a revert?

[Blanco]

Anthony Weiner has a weiner??? Well you learn something new every day.

[JC]

Interesting - Obama has Valerie - an Iranian as a close advisor and Clinton has Huma. And you wonder why the Democrat are confused about American values.

[WorthNoting]

That little dick trying to cover up now that he's been caught with his pants down... he'll try to spin and show that he's a big dick. Given his mate's history, she's seen neither dick.

[juniper]

What is with these Joos that marry arabs? Do they have to marry them? Look at those freaks Jamie Rubin and Christiane Amanpour: what kind of direction will their kids go in? It is nasty!

[katherine]

The world is on the brink of nuclear holocaust and this deviant is taking pics of his
private parts and emailing it?

(she typed shaking her head...)

[rachelle]

weiner isn't a Jew. thank G-d for small favors and I do mean s-m-a-l-l. He is probably a revert at this point because Moslem women usually get "honored" -- permanently -- if they marry out and made much of if they get an infidel to revert.

[Cate]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Well...weiner can try and cover this up all he wants. People won't let this go. There's a very good possibility he's going to see his career take the swan dive.

[wolf t.]

Anthony Wiener (D-NY 9")

Looks more like (D-NY 3").

Guess he really is a "small: government guy, not "big" , like he was leading on.

[Mac-101]

Learn a couple things today. One, is it correct he has a college age girlfriend after only being married to Hillaries HOT dike for a couple years at best? Second, are you sure he isn't Jewish? Third, I sure thought he was GAY! Guess I don't know squat!

[rachelle]

His mother is/was not Jewish and he is not practicing except to wear a skull cap to vote. He is Jewish like Kerry is Irish (helps gull the voters). I thought he was an asexual jerk but it may be more accurate to say bisexual. In any event, he was flirting on line and not in person so who knows? whatever the repyile is, many in NY would wish him to be gone -- far, far away.

[grungyoldvan]

Valerie is a bahai

[grungyoldvan]

he would have to be..

unless both are bahai..

[Mac-101]

Thanks, I thought he was Jewish for Voter ID only and was surprised when he married HUMA. I figured it was to defuse the Hilary LESBO angle and to defuse the Muslim Wahabist influence. If National Inquire is correct, they have been livin seperate since about 6 months ago. LOL!

[AmPowerBlog]

I linked you in an update earlier, at my place, and here's more: 'Anthony Weiner Scandal Now Links Porn Star Ginger Lee — And #WeinerGate Victim Gennette Cordova Speaks Out!'

[Choi]

"The world is on the brink of nuclear holocaust"
And he & HIS PARTY ,by NOT STOPPING IRAN,are to blame.

[telly]

The first thing I thought about this was if his claim is true, the FBI will track down the offender in a week or two. If not they could at least find evidence that would lend credibility to the claim, or at least plausibility.

My second though was if this was faked it would be more revealing.

My third thought, Huma, don’t be a PUMA. It’s not a problem that your gay, but Hilary, really???
You can do so much better for your self grrrl!!!

[Personal Home Inspector]

The bigger question is why on earth would Anthony Weiner send such a photo to some random person who lives on a different coast from either of his homes? What makes more sense? Someone hacks a twitter account and sends a photo of a man's crotch to discredit the man/make fun of him or a US congressman knowingly does something which could end his career with absolutely no apparent gain or benefit for him?

[Daryl]

Weiner calls a reporter a "jackass" for asking legitimate questions.

http://iowntheworld.com/blog/?p=78198

[Sue]

Weiner, Woods, Edwards, Spitzer, blah blah blah blah blah-----oh, and my soon to be ex-husband. They're all egocentric pigs who will do anything, hurt anyone, and abandon everything to get their egos stroked. Or whatever else. I wish the world could just be done with them.

[RR]

Yes the American values which state that we should judge people based on their ethnicity.

[Travis Powell]

Should Weiner get his weiner waxed? If so ... suggest that he take a trip to Seattle and pay a visit to The Waxing Diva at SalonDEWI ... we won't "tweet" or "facebook" pictures of his freshly groomed BULGE!

[appatern]

geez, its clear he was taking a picture of a historical monument and the camera slipped. Why doesnt he just tell the thruth....its so easy.

[Tiffany & CO Outlet]

All the Holy bible is actually saw to make sure you warrant these sort of hateful treatments like, as an illustration, captivity, all the slaughter about criminals about fights, all the sadistic murders about wives regarded as witches, financing penalising your pet just for tons of offenses, polygamy, and additionally cruelty to make sure you livestock. It really has been which is used to strongly encourage feeling on the grossest superstition and also suppress all the free of cost illustrating about conventional truths. We always bear in mind which usually simultaneously wonderful and additionally hateful rate from Holy bible. Importance not likely in this article self deprecation.
