OK, I have a question. Something I’m just not clear on:
How did this all come out. Did the chick in Washington put it out there, or exactly how did this alleged photo become public knowledge? I have read several threads around here but I haven’t locked on to exactly how this became news.
Weiner is a prevert and a jerk, no doubt, but how did this thing start?
Several thousand of Anthony Wiener's twitter friends got a lewd photo from him, that's how.
Ahhhh, I think I have it now. The photo showed up on his page or whatever it is on Twitter, somebody saw it and saved it to their machine, apparently that is how the ball got rolling. Hence the hacking allegation. I know nothing about Twitter, but was it transmitted to the chick as well or just posted on his account? This whole thing is odd.
My understanding is that there was a guy (patriot76, or something like that on Twitter) who noticed a while back ago that Weiner was following high school girls, an adult film star, and lots of young women on Twitter, along with the 21 year old Cordova, and he thought it was kind of strange. He also noticed that Cordova once referred to Weiner as her “boyfriend” on one Tweet, and he asked her some questions about it on Twitter.
On Friday night, Weiner was going to be on Rachel Maddow’s show, and he tweeted a remark to the effect that he was going to be on at “5:45 in Seattle time” (where Cordova lives)- thus alerting Cordova- and I think that patriot76 sensed something was up from that strange comment. Then Weiner sent a public tweet addressed to Cordova with the yfrog pic attached- but patriot76 and a few others saw it right away and made a screenshot of it I think (Cordova says she didn’t at the time). Weiner started deleting everything a few minutes after it was sent I believe. Patriot76 leaked it to Breitbart, and then Big Government broke the story.
