Representative Anthony D. Weiner said on Wednesday that he could not be sure whether he was the subject in a lewd photo sent from his Twitter account that shows a man in his underpants from the waist down.
But Mr. Weiner, who has been under pressure for days to answer questions about the controversy, reiterated that he had not sent the photo from his Twitter account.
This was a circumstance where someone committed a prank on the Internet, he said in an interview with Luke Russert of MSNBC. I didnt send that picture out. Mr. Weiner added, however, that he could not say with certitude if he was the person in the photo.
Mr. Weiners comments came a day after he lashed out at reporters who were pressing him to answer questions about the controversy, which was sparked after a college student who follows him on Twitter received a lewd photo from Mr. Weiners account.
Initially, Mr. Weiner said his account had been hacked; his spokesman later said that the congressman had hired a lawyer to explore the proper next steps.
He refused to elaborate on Tuesday when confronted by reporters about whether he had sent the picture and why he had not yet asked law enforcement to investigate.
At the beginning of the weekend, Mr. Weiners Twitter-related photo-sharing account sent a sexually suggestive photo of a man from the waist down, wearing only boxer briefs, to Gennette Cordova, a student at Whatcom Community College in Bellingham, Wash. Mr. Weiners office said his account had been hacked, and the congressman quickly took the photo down.
His office issued a statement Sunday reiterating that the Twitter post was not from Mr. Weiner, saying, Anthonys accounts were obviously hacked,

Here in NC we have another word for it............liar.
You haven't examined yourself often enough to know if it is you?
Unlikely.
So what are you saying, all weiners look alike?
He's saying he can't talk with certitude about his erectitude...
subtitle: Weiner Cannot Tell If It’s His Weiner
Or are we expecting him to come out and say, "no that is not mine, mine is much, much smaller."
All one really has to do is ask HUMA. She 'should' know (but I wouldn't bet on it).
How can you not know if a picture of you in your underwear was taken or not taken?
depends on what the meaning of weiner, is.
Hmmmm. Wouldn't a computer network guru (the FBI must have some) be better able to determine who hacked his twitter account and who sent his alleged lewd bulge to a girl across the country?
HOW IN THE HELL CAN YOU NOT KNOW THAT A PICTURE OF AN ERECT PENIS THAT YOU TOOK YOURSELF IS NOT YOUR OWN?
That's like saying:
"Oh, my mistake. I mistook that picture of an erect penis for my own. But see, that's not one of my own erect penis pictures, because I have those safely tucked away and there's no way that *my* erect penis pictures could have ended up on Facebook."
Easy solution: Does he wear Jockey, Hanes, or Fruit of The Loom?
huh ?
if it was a prank, how did the “prankster” get a picture of his package ?
Here is a picture of me at the gym.
How likely is it that THAT photo is of his package?
How likely is it that the 13 year old girls who wanna take a bus ride to your house for cookies are what you see in the picture they sent you? Usually they are 40 year old detectives.
As I said, Weiner may have sent it, or someone else may have. But I doubt it is a picture of his junk.
Here’s a thought: If he did do this either it was not his first time and something else is going to come out or it was his first time. If it was his first time I imagine he’s kinda in a state of shock finding the truth of his own incompetence.
A normal man who has never snapped a shot of his own boxer-brief pop-tent would be able to answer the question with certitude and without hesitation.
How often do you photograph your own erections, Mr. Weiner?
