Rep. Weiner grilled over lewd pic (Weiner refuses to ask FBI to investigate "hacking"?)

US Rep. Anthony Weiner yesterday spent the day on the grill after a lewd photo purporting to be of him was sent to a pretty Seattle coed from his Twitter account -- but the young woman insisted a stalker was the culprit.

Some DC wonks were skeptical of Weiner's hacking story and questioned the lack of a police report about a crime as serious as Internet identity theft, a Washington insider said.

The uncertainty was also fed by Weiner's decision to quickly delete the posted photo -- and every other photo connected to the account.

“But this seems to show he’s not a swish. Perhaps this is a deliberate attempt to do just that.”

The thought has crossed my mind. But surely there would be better ways to start a rumor about Weiner being a ladies’ man—such as sending the same picture to a woman who was over 21.

Wasn’t this little twerp Schumer’s protege?

“Methinks that there is going to be another special election in New York in the not too distant future . . .”

In New Yok this incident probably enhances his chances of being elected as a Senator.

Politisite is hearing one source close to the Congressman that Weiner will resign by the end of the day or early Thursday.

Told you . . . :)

OK. Is this a ‘source’ or a ‘source source’?

[Pilgrim's Progress]

It’s from the thread referenced in the post. Though I believe it is unnamed sources.

Sorry, that was meant to be a joke along the lines of the whole ‘rape rape’ comment of some months back.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Got ya . . . I’m so glad that it is one of them . . . and to watch them stumble all over themselves trying to tell us that it “just doesn’t rise of the level of . . .” (a memory from the toon era).

Pressure is certainly ratcheting up on him and it appears you will likely be proven right.

My comment re his enhanced chances was a sarcastic barb about the type of politicians that NY elects and retains in office (Rangle, Clinton, Schumer, Spitzer, etc). The lower their integrity, the higher their electability it seems. But I guess you could say that holds for practically all Democrats. Regards.
