The Internet was abuzz Saturday after it was reported that Rep. Anthony Weiner had apparently sent a lewd photo to a Seattle-area college student.
The New York Democrat quickly asserted that his online accounts had been "hacked" after Andrew Breitbart's BigGovernment.com reported that Weiner's Twitter account was used to send the photo, which shows the pelvic area of a man in gray undershorts with his tumescent penis bulging.
Late Friday night, a public message from Weiner's Twitter account (@RepWeiner) included a link to the penis photo, posted on the YFrog.com photo-sharing network. That message was directed to a Twitter account identified as belonging to 21-year-old Gennette Nicole Cordova, a student at Whatcom Community College in Bellingham, Washington.
Caches of Cordova's Twitter messages appeared to show that on April 9 she sent a message: "I wonder what my boyfriend @RepWeiner is up to right now." One of her friends on Twitter remarked the next day that Cordova's "crush" on the congressman was "cute." In one of his Twitter messages Friday announcing an appearance on the MSNBC cable network, Weiner made a joking reference to what time the show could be seen in Seattle.
Cordova's Twitter and Facebook accounts were deleted Saturday -- "Very odd," New York reporter Liz Benjamin remarked -- and the YFrog account that included the penis photo was also deleted. Media critic Lee Stranahan speculates on the motives for those deletions. While Weiner has made flippant references on Twitter to what was quickly dubbed "WeinerGate," he has made no explanation of how the "hacking" took place. Attempts to reach the congressman's press office were unsuccessful, blogger/talk-radio personality Peter Ingemi reported Saturday evening.

I don’t know what all the fuss is about.
I mean, who hasn’t, in a moment of drunken stupor, boundless passion, or stoned incoherence, sent a photo of their private parts to tens of thousands of their followers?
/s
I wonder if there is a way to force an investigation either through a conservative organization or by another Congressman since Weiner is paid from public funds?
HUMMMMM
Explains why Weiner is such a BIG supporter of ABORTION.
The penalties are stiff.
.."it's a wonder Huma hasn't lost an eye"
I didn’t see the picture. So was this clown wearing underwear over his head? Afterall he does look like a penis with eyes!
Wanna bet it would be a hung jury?
I thought it was WASSSSSUP College. Maybe I am mistaken...
Kind of makes the old moon shot on the company Zeerox machine seem kind of 20th century.
My daughter and SIL were just up there for a wedding 2 weeks ago, so I was checking it out on Google maps since I’d never heard of it before. It’s very beautiful, but I knew there had to be a catch to living there, lol!
Mrs. Prince of Space
No Helen Thomas also
“Rep. Anthony Weiner”
Heh. Heheh. Heheh heheh.
Based on those photos, Huma is bulimic.
Frank, I think the question on the cover should be: Got Weiner?
WHY IS THIS IN BREAKING NEWS?
Agreed, why breaking news? This guy is a scum bag, and I disagree with every one of his political views. So he sent a picture to a 21-year-old girlfriend, privately and apparently with her consent. I’ll bet his wife is ticked, and he has some ‘splainin’ to her to do, but it’s of no interest to me.
If it were about a conservative, it would be major breaking news on every lib site. As it is, I’m glad Freepers report stories that the MSM covers up, including something even this tacky.
