Anthony Weiner hires attorney in Twitter incident
Politico ^

Posted on 05/30/2011 2:45:55 PM PDT by Jim 726

New York Rep. Anthony Weiner has retained an attorney to advise him “what civil or criminal actions should be taken” after a lewd picture was sent from his Twitter account.

Weiner, who has represented part of New York City since 1998, says online hacking led to a close-up shot of a man’s underwear being sent from his official Twitter account Saturday night.

Dave Arnold, a spokesman for Weiner, said the Congressman’s staff is “loathe to treat” this incident as more than a prank “but we are relying on professional advice.”

Exactly. The dirty weiner absent-mindedly figured that addressing the tweet @InnocentCollegeStudent would send it to her only.

Little did weiner know, he had posted it for everyone to see. And it was clearly directed at the girl, for all to notice.

What a douchebag. If he were gay I’d feel some sympathy, but he’s just a weiner.

It was clearly WEINER who sent the photo. What hacker would go to all that trouble, only to send a non-naked, not very shocking photo? On the web it’s much easier to find actual obscene material, as opposed to hunting around for what sounds like a skinny weiner in his underpants.

Below is a link that includes the photo of the Weiner wiener in question. So I will post the appropriate warning:

WARNING! GRAPHIC PIC OF WEINER HIDDEN INSIDE UNDERPANTS AT BELOW LINK! MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT EATING OR DRINKING WHEN YOU CLICK OR SURELY YOU WILL LAUGH AND POSSIBLY CHOKE! SHOCKING FOR SOME PEOPLE TO VIEW THIS PHOTO. AVOID THIS IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO THE BEACH IN FRANCE! IF YOU HAVE, THIS WILL LOOK VERY FAMILIAR TO YOU.

I’m on Amtrak right now, thus I’m afraid to click your link.

Yeah, you could fall off the train. Best to wait til you are safely at home.

Ahahaha I clicked it.

I’m sitting on Amtrak laughing and people are looking at me.

That’s definitely Weiner!

Can you imagine trying to find something that lame on the web, then hacking a Twitter account to post it?

I hope Mark Levin comments on “Anthony’s Weiner” (BOING noise).

Weiner’s imaginary “hacker” would have had to “hack” his YFrog photo storage account in addition to his Twitter account. Weiner should fess up and resign.

Most smart phones these days embed GPS data in pictures taken from the phone. Has anyone examined the picture to see where it was taken?

No doubt there are stiff penalties for hacking someone else’s weiner.

I read somewhere he ‘happened to be online’ when the picture posted so he was able to deal with it immediately. Mmmm hmmm... how convenient.

Still smiling over the high pitched shreik when he realized he did’t send it privately.

“He’s married to HUMA...Nothing would surprise me.”

The marriage takes the Hillary/Huma lesbian story out of play for the 2012 election. Look for a nice political appointment for Wiener if/when she is elected.

The question is, if there was a “hacker”, did the picture exist on Weiner’s page? Did the “hacker” take it from Weiner or did the “hacker” creat the picture? Did Weiner take the picture himself? Looks like a self photo.

Ha ha ha ha ha!! I mean, look at those scrawny thighs!! How hard it would have been for the “hacker” to even FIND a man with such skinny bird legs!! Surely a hacker could have used a much more dramatic photo if he wanted to hurt Weiner!!

The wiener in question was probably subjected to a bris kit.

You have to imagine that Weiner was teased unmercifully because of his name when he was growing up.

It probably helps explain why he grew up to become such a putz...
