They just make it too easy.
Hunting over bait, these days.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/05/29/politics/main20067242.shtml
A lewd photograph of a crotch sent from the Twitter account of U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner is just "a distraction" perpetrated by a hacker, his spokesman said Sunday.
Yeah, it does sound distracting.
Dave Arnold told The Associated Press in an email that the tweet, directed at a woman, was "a distraction" from the married New York Democrat's "important work representing his constituents."
Looks like his account WAS hacked, but dang if the auto-response from his staffers is typical plausible denial word-parsing bullshinola in case he really did it and has to walk it back...'casue they know he is capable of that sort of behavior.
-
LOL, they do make it easy.
Is there something in NY water that makes politicians do this? A few months ago an R did the same thing - sent a pic on craigslist. Good grief, how is it that I'm so much smarter than these guys & they have a gazillion times more money than I do?
-
Wow....I can imagine that headline.
-
This is too much - the guy's name is Weiner ???
=D

not in the water, it's on hooker's backsides. :angel:

Uh, oh.
It looks like Weinergate has burst is combed cotton bonds and even Iowahawk is pounding the table, demanding the real killer underoo-wearing chubster-posting hacker be hunted down.
http://iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2011/05/help-me-bring-the-weiner-hacker-to-justice.html
...he 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....
...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 give him a week...well, maybe ten days, but only because he's a Democrat. =D
-
Watching CNN try and deal with the arrogant prick yesterday..... :facepalm:
They aren't interested in the crotch shot, so much as why it was specifically sent to the college girl he was twitter-following. They were trying to ask why he was twitter-following some random college girl. Obviously they think there is something amiss there. Weiner was being his arrogant self dealing with CNN. He really is a prick.
-
Given the amount of people I met in the Army who use default passwords for classified material - people far, far above my pay grade - I can easily imagine the congressman getting hacked.
-

I can too. Unfortunately, his actions after claiming that he got hacked don't match with what normal people would do if they got hacked, let alone what a Congressman should do.
Also, he's since backed away from the "hacked" claim.
-
This is the same guy who went after Beck--and a Beck sponsor--for promoting gold. Yeah, that was when gold was selling for $1100 an ounce.

-
Also, he's since backed away from the "hacked" claim.
Uh...if he wasn't hacked and it wasn't his wang, then just what is he trying to claim? That he has pictures of other guys' junk laying around and likes to send them to college girls?
-

Actually, he's said that he can't say "with certitude" that it isn't his crotch in that picture.
Seriously, I hate this guy, but this is so bad it's painful for me to watch.
-
I don't know that I'd be able to positively identify my "junk" if the shot was in close. I'll give Weiner that much credit. I don't give him any credit for the way he's handling it.
Of course, the Republican resigned after sending a photo of himself without a shirt. I'm sure if it turns out that Weiner did send a photo of his johnson in a turgid state, he'll stay in office.
-
I don't know that I'd be able to positively identify my "junk" if the shot was in close.
I'm pretty sure I'd remember if I "posed" for a shot like that. Especially since it sure looks like a self portrait.
-
the question i can't get past is, "how many male crotch shots does this loser have on his phone?". [barf] and, no wonder he supports the tsa. [tinfoil]
-
I'm pretty sure I'd remember if I "posed" for a shot like that. Especially since it sure looks like a self portrait.
Well, I don't know in what sort of circumstances he is "posing," but people aren't always aware they're being photographed. He may not have known what his partners were up to.
In more public, fully-clothed circumstances, I have surreptitiously filmed and been filmed by cell phones.

The Weiner Career Death Watch:
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=43844
Intuitively I've always known the guy was a creep. Smarmy, arrogant, and wrong on nearly every issue.
I don't wish him any ill will, just that he reaps a little of what he's sowed.
-
Well, I don't know in what sort of circumstances he is "posing," but people aren't always aware they're being photographed. He may not have known what his partners were up to.
Unless his wife is sending pics of him to college girls, then it would still require questionable circumstances.

There's been no love lost between Representative Anthony Weiner and Ann Coulter for years, so it's no surprise that she's having a field day with his mysterious wiener photo.

Oh, no doubt.

Of course, anybody could have written that, but it ain't Ann's fault that Weiner made it so easy.

This might be true, but sexual harassment/assault (which is what sending pictures of your... 'Representative' to people who want nothing to do with you may qualify as, in some circumstances) is far worse both morally and politically than adultery.
I have sent naked photos of myself to an individual who was happy to receive them, as part of a long-distance relationship. This is different from what happened here, to all appearances.

Are you all aware that Weiner was Jon Stewart's roommate? Either in, or right after college.

And it keeps going and going. Weinergate. Weiner seems to be hell bent to self destruct over this whole thing.

How on chutulu's green earth do you not know if you have a crotch shot stored on your twitter account, and how on chutulu's green earth if you see said crotch shot, do you not know if its you or not?
Dumbass.
-
Like Kafka's Joseph K. Anthony W. had been waiting all his life for exposure and conviction. No doubt it will be very liberating for his guilt-twisted psyche.
-
I saw part of his interview on the Daily Show last night.
The way he was speaking, and the constant diversion of his eyes showed me that he was lying his tail off.
Bye, bye baby!
-

Curse you for making me wonder about your personal mirror-viewing habits!

He keeps joking it off, hoping it falls out of the news. He's been cursed by his last name - it's too funny to let go that easily.
-
Battle of the Bulge, part deux... =D
Weiner has never gotten this much attention in his life. And he never will again. If he doesn't resign, he'll become a walking joke in Congress.

I read that differently than you wrote it, the first time I read it. Naughty roo_ster.
Well, this little kerfuffle couldn't have happened to a better congresscritter, as Weiner has always been an ass.
-
Indeed, he was a ***** before we knew he had one.

What I meant to say is: OF COURSE ANTHONY WEINER DOESN'T WANT AN INVESTIGATION BECAUSE IT WOULD SHOW THAT HE HIMSELF POSTED THE PHOTO OF HIS SMALL ERECT PENIS.

"It’s the political class doing all this relentless “work for the American people” that’s turned this country into the brokest nation in the history of the planet, killed the American Dream and left the American people headed for a future poised somewhere between the Weimar Republic and Mad Max. So, if it’s a choice between politicians getting back to work for the American people or Tweeting their privates round the planet, I say, Tweet on, MacDuff. Tough on our young college ladies. But, as Queen Victoria advised her daughter on her wedding night, lie back and think of England. Download and think of America."

Breitbart is updating with new photos all day... and this quote just makes me cringe...
We will be updating BigGovernment.com and BigJournalism.com throughout the day with photographs, timelines, and other clarifying details. However, we will not be releasing all of the material because some of it is of an extreme, graphic nature.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.... <shudder>

Weinergate is a small thing but nonetheless telling. If this man survives to represent the interests of American citizens we will know (if we didn't already) that the end of civil society and self-governance is surely near.
-
Well, he finally came clean--I mean, dirty.
He HAS resigned, he just doesn't know it yet. If this guy is still in office a month from now we can officially declare the start of Endtimes.

The shirtless Craigslist guy resigned, why not Weiner?
http://www.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/06/06/new.york.weiner/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
What really annoys me was all his blather about how this was a distraction from his real work. Didn't he also get married last year? I'd be pissed if I was his wife.
-
There is only one constituency that Weiner can now represent, and that is other sick ***** like himself. Lying is not a "mistake." Clinging to your job, when you should want to go hide somewhere, is not "taking responsibllity." He's a liar and in serious need of rehab, utterly lacking in crediblity. That he should think he can continue in his job says volumes about the state of politics in America 2011.
-
So, the picture was taken with a cell phone? I was not aware they had macro functions on them now.

Ding ding ding ding ding!
We had a New York Republican sends a shirtless photo. He resigned.
New York Democrat sends pantless photos. Ho hum... and he'll be re-elected.
I can only hope they find the high school girls he was sending photos to and get him for the underage photos. My conspiratorial guess is that he hired the "private security firm" to clean out all evidence of that nature.
-
Of course there's a double-standard.
But, more importantly, there's a double-country. There's a country for whom Weiner can do anything and get away with it, and there's a country that has had it up to here with Weiner and everyone like him.
That so many will find a way to defend Weiner only highlights the deep, deep problem our culture has. If character no longer matters, then it's truly time to push Re-Set.

He needs to find employment elsewhere - maybe Twitter is hiring.
He could be their new poster child - "I Twittered my weiner; so can you"!
Sheesh!

hes a democrat he can keep his job
-
I just found out about him confessing, I hope that the media or someone tracks down the images and can prove that he sent them to a minor so he has to resign.
He's even more of a creep than I ever imagined, he just got married to a really nice looking gal, here's hoping she'll divorce him & marry a nice conservative guy.

Would that we could. But secular America is sex-crazed, and Christian American is love-crazed, and there aren't many left who care about the ancient value of honor. This is not about forgiving or punishing, it is about character and the shame of not having one. Weiner was a righteous, arrogant, and nasty SOB long before this discomfiture. Pride, not lust, undid the man, and he should be permitted to have his fall so that the universe can come into moral balance again.

Creepy must-see flashback: Weiner lies shamelessly to ABC about what happened
How creepy? Creepy enough that ABC posted this footage (which was recorded a few days ago, of course) just within the past hour and then sent around the link via e-mail. I didn’t go hunting through their archives for it, in other words; they’re pushing it on people tonight themselves because, understandably, they (a) want to atone for having aired this guy’s lies as news last week and (b) presumably want the world to see what an almost pathologically fluid liar he was when cornered. The last 80 seconds of it will have you squirming in your seat — not only the way he claims to be the innocent target of a hoax but his insistence on lecturing the interviewer for assuming the worst, taking care to maintain accusatory eye contact the whole way. It’s genuinely disturbing.
Do mash hte link and read the rest, especially the update.
By demonstrating that he’s as good a liar as he is an apologizer, Weiner tells us everything we need to know about him.
I am reminded of Bob Kerry's description of Bill Clinton as, "an unusually good liar."
For folks like Weiner & Clinton, would it be worse if they had to practice their lies to get them convincing or if it comes easily & naturally for them?
-

Can we have a moratorium on stretching to include Islam in political discussions? The mania for including an "Islamic angle" when there's no need is generally reducing our intelligence as a society.
-
See, since we do not actually live with Radical Muslims attempting feebly to blow themselves up in the streets of our cities every tuesday, we need to be constantly reminded of the threat.

“I just chuckled,” Broussard, a nursing student, said of her reaction to the story that unfolded in the media last week. “It would be one thing if he came out and said, ‘Hey, so what?’ But now he’s saying he got hacked.”
The woman does not seem to be terribly victimized by this endeavour.
-

There are plenty who provide(d) material support to Hamas & other organizations just east of here a ways, with the full support of their community and mosque. West of here, the other mosque celebrates Ayatollah Khomeini every year on his b-day. And, then there was the fellow south of here who the Feebs nabbed attempting to blow the heck out of downtown and his own self.
So, no, not every Tuesday, at least.

Why, I am positively terrified now.

His wife is a muslim. That is uncommon enough in this country to merit mention. I don't think it relevant to this scandal, but I can understand other people being curious as to how that will affect the scandal.
-
Since radical Muslims will be offended, and since Congressman Weiner is Jewish, they may try to put a bomb in his underwear. That makes for an Islamic angle. ;)

Broussard described hundreds of risque instant messaging conversations that occurred daily.
"I don't think he's a bad guy. I think he's got issues just like everybody else," Broussard said. "Everyone's standards are different, but to be elected to Congress and sit there all day on Facebook and chatting?"
Funny - same thing that I was thinkin'.....

Medved is wrong. This comes down to nitwit liberals who can't accpet responsibility for their actions. A real man would either send the crotch shots and when caught say "Hell yeah I did! Did you see the tits on that intern?" Or would have never sent the images at all.
-
JJ, that's what I don't get. Weiner's out there apologizing for something that he obviously doesn't regret (unless he has uncontrollable impulses), and everyone is simply accepting that apology.
He's not sorry he did this, or he wouldn't have done it. He's sorry he was caught.
A real apology would have been something like this: "I want to let everyone know that I was lying the past few days about this. I did send the photos. I'm not going to apologize for having done so, because I was doing this with consenting adult females. This is no way interferes with my job. I do apologize to my wife, because she didn't know this was something I get off on. I should have told her about my little fetish before we were married."
-
The political world does not work like this. If the pundit class is outraged over something - no matter what that is - you are expected to apologize. They derive their understanding of morality and ethics from 'oh but we are so outraged'.
It takes a man, not a politician, to say 'I do not apologize' in politics.

Weiner is roasted.

Medved wasn't talking about Weiner specifically, just the whole long liberal arc into the perverse.
A real man, in my view, has to be more than just not be a liar, he has to be someone we respect, and Weiner fails the smell test on that. His behavior would not be manly if openly admitted, just infantile.

Does anyone know if he ever voted on Federal laws relating to this?

Had he met a 17-year-old in the streets of D.C. and taken her home for this purpose, he'd have broken no laws.

Now he is taking a leave from the House, and seeking treatment.
It looks like it is from the "buy more time 'til I get outta the headlines and people forget" playbook.
They were running a poll on the news Friday that showed 66% of his district would not vote him out of office.
That makes New Yorkers look very accepting of very unprofessional behavior - very disappointing from them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_North_America#Federal_laws
{Chapter 117, 18 U.S.C. 2422(b)} forbids the use of the United States Postal Service or other interstate or foreign means of communication, such as telephone calls or use of the internet, to persuade or entice a minor (defined as under 18 throughout chapter) to be involved in a criminal sexual act. The act has to be illegal under state or federal law to be charged with a crime under 2422(b), and can even be applied to situations where both parties reside within the same state but use an instant messenger program whose servers are located in another state.[39]
Federal laws on this matter are absurd, since every state in the union has an age of consent.
However, if he said anything lews to her....well....send the weiner to the federal poke-me-in-the-ass-prison.

He'd do well as a French politician. You have a point. They like bold sexual adventurers over there. =D
I don't know if Tweeting and sexting qualify as "bold."

Yeah, sexting is more like a cyber-gloryhole. Not very bold, just disgusting.

In your hypothetical scenario, is his wife home or not. If she is, does she participate?
Do they make a weiner sammich? Do they use condoments?

Look at the laws in Mexico, most of the country is 12, while some states are puberty.

Easy on how far this one goes ya'll. There is a fine line between snark and obscene. I know, with his name being Weiner, the jokes write themselves, but this is starting to push the envelope.
-
What really disturbs me is some nice young lady, whether she is 25 or 15 might sign up for twitter updates from him & get flooded with porno crud from him.
You know, there used to be a time where you could get your face punched in for that kind of stuff in NYC, your dad/brother/cousin would find the culprit & that would be that.
I hope that some angry dad just ups and punches him in the snozzle, it would go a long way in stopping that kind of sordid nonsense.
Oh, according to fox news this morning there is some kind of redistricting going on
& the D's will simply get rid of his district.
-

I was being sarcastic. He's anything but.

I suspect Weiner is waiting for some George Soros type to offer him a lot of money and a position w/ a fat salary to quit ... ;/
-
Next Wiener will be offered a political commentary position at CNN...
-
According to Radio shock-jock Neal Boortz, Weiner is now challenging Obama for the democratic ticket in 2012. His running mate will be Attorney General Eric Holder. It will be the W______-H_______ ticket. :-X [popcorn] If you don't get that, please don't blame me. :angel: [tinfoil]

I thought he'd pick Al Franken.

I'm thinking they'd make a spot for Barney Frank in their administration ... maybe as their mascot =D

And now we learn he was a cross-dressing teen. He may have a future in U.K. politics if not here.

Isn't it odd how folks of his political/social persuasion believe that one can treat (& be CURED!) for inappropriate heterosexual conduct, but not for inappropriate homosexual conduct?

Oh, Now a Porn Star has emerged and claims to have had a relationship with Weiner. Porn star's lawyer is Gloria Allred.

The real story here will in the end be not Anthony Weiner's pitiable perversions but, rather, who exactly is Huma Abedin and on whose payroll is she. Her rise to wealth, power, and connections is about as remarkable as...Barack Obama's.

Huh? Whut? Really? That's what you're taking out of all this?
-
The obvious has already been said about Weiner. Time to move beyond all that. If you're not paying attention to the meta-story here you should. But if you won't, you won't; I will. Weiner's a side-show, like much of what the MSM purveys to distract us from what's really going on.
-
Please educate me about the meta-story.

The amazing rise of Huma Abedin--and all the questions that, surprisingly, have not been asked, about a young Saudi-American woman who is in the highest circles of power and somehow lives beyond her visible station.

http://www.observer.com/2007/hillary-s-mystery-woman-who-huma
OK, so she's been Hillary's little helper for the past fifteen years, and people are really impressed by her poise, style, intelligence, hotness, etc. Is there something else to all of this?
-
If she were a blonde with blue eyes from Scandinavia, nobody would question the situation. They'd make the same jokes about her and Hillary, would insinuate she's someone's kept woman, and move on.
I think you're reaching and want it to be a story about a Saudi infiltrator so badly you can taste it. If you have proof otherwise, post it. Else, drop it. The conspiracy theories are getting old. No, they're not even theories, they're flights of fancy.
Chris

The Weiner has left the building.
He was really heckled during his announcement.
I almost felt sorry for him.
'Gotta love those blunt New Yorkers!
-
I'm not even going to bother trying to advance anything about Huma Abedin because it's obviously unwelcome here. You'd prefer to repeat the same couple of officially-sanctioned catch phrases describing her..."people are really impressed by her poise, style, intelligence, hotness"...when you don't really know anything about what her role actually is, what her relationship with Hillary is, how she got the job, what the sources of her income are, etc. But, yes, let's leave it alone, like so many other things. I wasn't "reaching," I was asking questions that clearly are not going to be answered, not by you anyway.

Oh sweet baby Xenu man. If you've got something besides tin foil hattery, spill it. Why in the hell would you ask us the questions? We're not some great keepers of knoweldge on high.

We're not? ;)
I always thought AJDual was smarter than the average mother *expletive deleted* (with apologies to "Brooklyn's Finest").

I'm not creating a conspiracy, I'm merely posing questions that, yeah, seem to me, given the woman's position, need to be asked. Why ask you? Because you're there, because this is a political forum, because you're Americans, because you ought to give a damn. I wasn't raising this because you are "great keepers of knowledge on high," believe me. It's not farfetched, not a "reach" to wonder about what that relationship and how it started. If it's harmless, let's know that; if not, let's know that too. But others will go there if I don't and you don't. If you want to discredit the questions even when you yourselves don't have any information, so be it. This forum lives on opinion, on "speculations," and nothing wrong with that, it's not a court of law last time I checked, but no matter.

Are you talking to me, or mtnbkr?
FTR, I'm not chiding you, or saying you're wrong. I just don't see what you're seeing. What is it?

Unless you've got some great link between her and the weiner, how about you start a new thread about this super secret muslim infiltrator, mkay?
There's thread veer, and then there's thread derailment.

They're married.
Still doesn't indicate any grand conspiracy though.

When the Scandinavians start sending us jihadis instead of scandi-porn and ABBA, they'll get the gimlet eye, too.
FTR, I haven't heard squat about Mrs. Weiner other than the usual platitudes. OTOH, we knew the names of all both Bushs' top political cronies and they have long since received their proctological exams by the MSM. Huda merits similar treatment.
Also FTR, I think it is of significance that the Bushes are such great pals with the Saudis.

Sure it does. It has to. Wait, everyone back inside, I see chemtrails!!!!!!!! =|
Longeyes, unless you actually have some link between weinergate and the wife, thats enough.
If there is some big question about her being some kind of super secret muslim infiltrator, then start a new thread on the merit of that.
-
I know when something's unwelcome. Very well, I'm dropping it. But what I said that began this was that the ultimate take-away from all this, in my opinion, would be about Huma, not Weiner. No one really knew she existed before Weiner's escapade; now they do. I never said there was a conspiracy, only that we ought to know a lot more about Huma Abedin and her relationship to the Clintons. Let's see where it goes over the coming months.
-
O Rly?
I knew about Huma a year ago. She's old news and pops up now and again. In this case, it was because her husband is a perv.
Chris
-
Did you now? And what is it you really know? If you don't find the whole little world of Hillary at State a bit odd, well... Let's leave it at that. You wanted the topic closed, and now, for me, it is.
-
I think its best to stake this one. If anything new pops up about Weiner's wife, a new thread would be in order.
