Weinergate: Congressman Claims “Facebook Hacked” As Lewd Photo Hits Twitter

[zeitgeist]

NY 9 th Weiner calls it Erection Fraud.

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.

This will get little play for several reasons but this would be breaking 24/7 if it were a Republican.

Erection fraud???  Ha ha!  Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy. 

[BlueStateSaint]

The thing is, this'll be be a badge of honor among the DUmp, and Democratics in general.  It got the Republican who occupied NY-26 run out of Washington. 

[catsmtrods]

Whats the big deal? Every time I look at him I see the same thing. He's a dickhead!

If there is one thing the DUmmies are good at it is swallowing Weiner. Yes, they just can't get enough Weiner because Congressman Anthony Weiner is one of the most liberal members of Congress. So when Weiner gets stuck in a scandal, the DUmmies have no choice but to swallow the lame Weiner excuse that he really didn't send out a photo of his Weiner encased in underwear via Twitter to a Co-ed in Washington State because his account was supposedly hacked.

The strange thing here is that Weiner has yet to complain to authorities about his hacked account but the DUmmie's continue to swallow the Weiner excuse as you can see in this THREAD, "Anthony Weiner: Hackers posted lewd photos on Twitter" as well as this THREAD, "Breitbart publishes risqué photo, claims it’s Anthony Weiner’s wiener." It's a real hoot to read both these DUmmie threads because we know where it is all leading. It is called FREUDENSCHADE, baby! BTW, will the Weiner resign? A Republican Congressman from NY has already resigned because he posted a shirtless photo of himself but will a Weiner count? So let us now watch the DUmmies swallowing the Weiner excuse in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent noting that any story involving Weiner gets the immediate attention of Ben Burch, is in the [brackets]:

  I didn't care about this all that much, but I cared enough to post a posting from a really st00pid DUmmy on the subject last night in the "'11 Posts That Stand Alone" thread.

I could care less about the guy posting a pic of his weiner, or not. I just can't stand the guy period. He's out of his mind. As is everyone on the far left.

Rev, as I said above, it'll be a badge of honor for the Democratics.

Note how Weiner came right out and said that his Twitter account had been hacked.  I seem to remember that Rep. Lee manned up and did the honorable thing (maybe for the very first time in his life).  Weiner, OTOH, blames someone else.  I have zero doubt that he did it.

[zeitgeist]

Well the best part of this whole deal is the dummies get to see Weiner and deal with their own hypocrisy. And I really was tired of looking at a young Uncle Fester when I opened the browser.

Weiner has pulled a real boner which is going to be hard to beat down if it's out there too long.   

Tap Tap Tap.  Sounds like he better find a comfortable stance on this one.  Weiner will find himself in hot water whether or not this pickle picture is kosher no matter how he handles it.

Naw someone up thread is right. He just has to come out gay and the left will slurp this up like hungry pups on a plump bitch.

Gennette Nicole Cordova is a student at Whatcom Community College, Bellingham, Wash., where she is a reporter for the student newspaper, Horizon... It must be emphasized that at this point we have no idea whether Ms. Cordova actually knows Rep. Weiner, whether her Twitter claim of him being her “boyfriend” was just a joke, or whether Rep. Weiner actually communicated with Ms. Cordova.

   He is aptly named.. Divine intervention??

[chitownchica]

His flaccid response is underwelming.

I don't know if he can get a happy ending with this story or not.

[true_blood]

How true that is.

[thundley4]

If his account was hacked, why isn't the FBI involved?  If his account was hacked, why hasn't Twitter came out and said anything about their investigation into the hacking?

Maybe his account wasn't hacked, but he screwed the pooch by making a public post and it was supposed to be a DM to the woman.

[Revolution]

^ Woman? Woman?! That sure as hell IS breaking news to me. I look at his photograph in the OP, I listen to his voice, I watch his demeaner, and it doesn't strike me that he's into women.

Help Me Bring the Weiner Hacker to Justice

I have never been much of a community activist, but I can no longer sit idly while America remains at risk of attack by the most nefarious identity thief in the history of Internet. And cheap page views are to be had.

The Weinergate facts, as we so far know them: on May 28, @RepWeiner, the verified Twitter account of US Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY), posted a tweet of a y.frog photo of a slightly-built white male straining to pitch a pup tent in a pair of grey Hanes Underoos. Within seconds, Congressman Weiner arrived at the scene of the cybercrime and instantly recognized it as the work of a hacker who had simultaneously broken into his Twitter, Facebook and y.frog accounts. Working quickly, and without regard to his own safety, Congressman Weiner used his elite law school-honed internet security coding skills to wrest back control of his accounts, delete the offending tweet and photo, as well as unfollow a Seattle coed to whom it was sent. His Twitter perimeter once again secured, the intrepid Congressmen sent out a new tweet explaining how he was victimized by an Internet criminal mastermind.

Since the incident, the famously modest Congressman Weiner had remained demure on how he single-handedly thwarted his anonymous attacker, and how the attacker managed to possibly steal his Blackberry camera phone. And, for whatever reason, has thusfar also chosen not to involve the law enforcement authorities.

As much as I admire Congressman Weiner's Gandhi-like forgiving attitude toward his assailant - as well as his world class ninja programming skills - I'm afraid this incident doesn't just involve him. For, after all, what Internet user is safe when the person who hacked this unsuspecting Weiner remains at large? Okay, maybe not "large," but still, come on man. Who's to say this same criminal hasn't somehow hacked my last 5 federal income tax returns with fraudulent deductions for alcohol-related blogging expenses?

I say no - we cannot as an online community let this tragic crime go unpunished. That it why I am announcing the Weiner Hacker Prize Fund to award a generous bounty for information leading to the arrest, prosecution and conviction of Pubic Enemy #1 - the pervert who stole Congressman Weiner's underpants identity. To get things rolling, I will seed it with $1000 of my own personal 2010 federal tax refund. I am leaving the comments section on this post open for anyone who would like to add their own contribution to the bounty, as well as tips and clues to pass on to law enforcement officials. Please though - do not interfere with any official crime investigation. Let's leave the detective work to hardboiled gumshoes like Jim Treacher and Ace of Spades.

So let's get involved and work to get this mysterious criminal off our online streets. Until he is brought to justice, remember: You May Already Be a Weiner.


Weiner: Victim / Hero of Weinergate

How true that is.

I say we get all congressman to pose in their undies, place a bag over their head an allow Miss Ballbreaker to escort the victim into the room to point out the offending hard on that was Tweeted to her.

‘Weinergate’

Over the weekend I said that I suspect this will not end well for Congressman Weiner. I still think I’m right. Rep.Weiner stands accused of sending a lewd picture to a young girl via Twitter. He says he didn’t do it. At first his office said his Twitter account was “hacked.” Now he says it was all a “prank.” This is an important change in language because to claim his account was hacked is to claim he was a victim of a crime. Meanwhile a prank is something he can wave away. >>>

Meanwhile, the only person who wants to let the story die is Weiner, which suggests he’s the one who has done something wrong or knows something he doesn’t want others to know. Even some at Daily Kos realize this is a problem. And while the MSM seems perfectly inclined to follow Weiner’s lead, there are just too many other outlets that will not let go of the story.

I honestly have no idea what happened, but I do know that Anthony Weiner is exactly the kind of Democrat who would sensationalize a story like this if the politician involved was a Republican. And you can be sure the press wouldn’t have to be dragged kicking and screaming to cover it.   

I don’t think this is a colossal scandal, but the selective standards of the MSM drive me crazy. Recall that the NY-26 race we’ve just finished analyzing was a result of the fact that a sitting congressman had to resign because he sent a picture of himself without shirt to a woman on Craigslist. In 2006, Nancy Pelosi used Mark Foley’s scandal to help win back the Congress. >>>

At minimum, it seems to me that if the Left wants to claim Weiner was set up, then they are honor bound to support a full investigation.

==========================================

Weiner-tweet (rather than Weiner-gate) may be more appropriate here considering the size and the message sent.

A couple of things I don't get about this. What does his facebook page being hacked have to do with this and why would he do something like this? That part really doesn't make sense. Why not go to the police, or at the very least a PI instead of a lawyer. This whole thing is just too weird.

Because he did it, if he was really hacked he would have called the police right away.  He did it because he has a huge ego. He thought he was sending a DM to a cute young thing who had a known crush on him (he has a ton of cute young things on his twitter account) instead of a public one. It couldn't have happened to a better dick.

You gotta watch the Weiner's interview today. He is guilty.

Weiner gets prickly

Fox News has been playing that clip several times. He looks guilty, which is increased by the fact that he has lawyered up instead of calling for legal investigations into the hacking.

Brings to mind an expression Dad used at times for some of the  idiot boys I brough home- ---

He called them Pecker Neck kids.      Dad was all so right.

This dude cannot answer any question with a yes or no, any first year Police Office knows that when one asks someone if their name is John Doe and they begin to talk about their mother baking Apple Pies, or that their feet hurt-------or that the answer is not important-------

I think we need to put a fork in him as he is toast.

Yup.  Guilty.  Simple answer.  Yes or no.  Anything else falls into the three b's ( bluff, bull$hit, bluster). 

[redwhit]

Well I think it's just super that this new civility has been so wholeheartedly embraced by the hacker community.

Think about it.  They hacked his account and sent out that one little thing to a handful of people.  They didn't email it to his mama, his donor list, his media list, the rest of congress, or his high school group.  They obviously didn't change the passwords and cover his pages with bunny porn. 

Just one quick little picture.  How civilized.  How restrained.  How groundbreaking. 

This may be the least amount of damage ever suffered from an online incursion.

Way to go you newly civil hackers!

Yeah, what BEG said.  The reason it doesn't make sense is because he's frickin' lying to cover his ass, and it isn't a well-constructed lie.
