Florida Republican Rep. Cliff Stearns is demanding an investigation into cybersecurity issues raised by #Weinergate, saying it is vital to “ensure our national security.”
Though New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner remains silent on whether or not he’ll be seeking an investigation into his claims that his Twitter and Facebook accounts were hacked, leading to his Twitter account’s posting of a picture of a man’s erect penis underneath gray boxer-briefs, Stearns told The Daily Caller that the imbroglio raises troubling questions that should be looked into by Congress.
“Although this particular incident is a matter for law enforcement, it clearly indicates that hacking is a serious problem and as Chairman it would be appropriate for the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee to examine the issue of cybersecurity to protect our privacy and to ensure our national security,” Stearns said in an email to The Daily Caller.
Stearns is the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, a committee on which Weiner sits.

HAHA I love it!
Meanwhile, Weiner twists in the wind, to borrow an old phrase.
“picture of a man’s erect penis underneath gray boxer-briefs”
You gotta be kidding! I saw the picture, no way that was a MAN’s erect member, maybe a 12 year old boy, but no way an adult white male. Most men look bigger than that when they have to fart. I call this BS. Rosie O’Donnell has a bigger wiener than that.
Takes the phrase “Congressional Probe” to a whole new level.
Calling Beulah Ballbricker! What we need here is a lineup to identify the offending tally whacker ( That’s what Principal Carter called it in Porky’s)
I haven’t kept up with this story. Is this something he sent to a sweetie, then got exposed (pun?) by a hacker? Or did the hacker expose him?
Great move. Unlike Rush trying to ignore this scumbag’s folly the Rep. has the right idea embarrass this idiot as long and as much as necessary.
This is not an isolated incident and looking into will reveal a lot.
Seems as if Cliff has a bone to pick with Tony!
Okay! That’s it. Posted 3 variations of that in the last 15 minutes. Dotta get a new line,,,,,
How did it come to attention, or find its way into the public domain? What trigger brought to the newsfront? Sorry, it’s just now on my radar.
Amazing how this guy won’t deny that that was his schlong, yet even many “conservative” media outlets are spiking the story.
Thank you. That clears it up.
What’s the over/under on when Huma Weiner leaves this national socialist?
There is no hacker.
Weiner's trying to make it seem like there is.
Meanwhile he's plotting with his wife's boss to try to plan a Grand Strategy of how to get out of this mess.
Glad this Congressman is opening the fly into a Congressional investigation of whether national security is threatened with foreign agents hacking into Congressional underwear and protected internet accounts. We need to know whether Weiner was handled by friend or foe. It is in this country’s national interests to protect Weiner’s ability to freely manipulate his own instrument of communication.
Congress, ZIP OPEN THIS WEINER PROBE and don’t stop until you find out exactly who, and what, has arisen!
Wiener lawyered up on Sunday but refused to ask the FBI to look into the “hacking” . . . Wife Huma Weiner is stone silent. Chuck Schumer says Weiner is “probably” innocent.
You just can’t make this stuff up. Naturally, most members of Congress are as quiet as church mice because most of them probably do the same thing. If I could just get Michelle Bachmann to . . Well, nevermind
Basically, there is this cute buxom black college girl, 21, in Seattle, who appears to have a big crush on Weiner. He tweets that he is about to appear on air with Rachel Madcow, and mentions in his tweet that he will be on at such-and-such in Seattle time. Hm. Then 3 hours later he tweets a photo to this girl of his lil smoky, in his grey boxer briefs, with his scrawny thigh showing. Then he also tweets a bunch of stuff about hockey to his general followers.
But somehow the hacker had hacked into his account and sent the faltering Wiener to Weiner's fan. But somehow Weiner hacked it right back so he could continue to Tweet. And then suddenly everything was deleted, and the coed deletes her whole account! Hm.
And then Weiner dialed his lawyer, and suddenly this illegal hacker has become a harmless prankster, and Weiner is loath to call the FBI against this breach of security into a sitting Congressman's private account. Hm.
It's just a silly prank and we should all look away, says Weiner. I'm just glad iPhones come with zooms on their cameras now or the poor student would never have even be able to see what Weiner was proferring.
