ouse Minority Whip Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) on Tuesday expressed support for Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), who said his Twitter account was hacked over the weekend when a lewd photograph showed up on the feed.
Somebody hacked into his Twitter account and projected material -- which can happen, I guess, to anybody -- which was not generated by Mr. Weiner, the second-ranking House Democrat told reporters Tuesday at his weekly roundtable.
Hoyer called the incident unfortunate and said that he had not spoken with Weiner but that he believes the lawmaker, who has retained an attorney, is pursuing the proper authorities to determine who may have hacked his account.
I just heard about it just a few minutes ago, but my understanding is that thats illegal activity, and the proper authorities are pursuing it, Hoyer said.

Tony should have Steny’s job: Whip Weiner.
Weiner has difficulty standing erect on his own merits. No need to drag his private parts into the affair.
That'd be Minority Whip Weiner, thank you.
“Hoyer was then quoted as saying “I know Weiner’s ****, and believe me, that’s not Weiner’s ****.” Subsequent calls to the DNC and Congressman Hoyer’s office for clarification went unreturned.”
They’re going to find out the hacker is someone very close to Weiner who he pussed off... Or on.
Steny Hoyer is a true Democrat. They lie and he swears to it.
pussed = pissed.
There needs to be a penis probe regarding the recent activities of the Weiner Whisperer.
Hoyer took one look at the photo and knew it was a fake.
I heard Barney Frank also is backing Weiner. He commented: "I've studied the picture long and hard and I can say for sure that is not the Weiner I am intimately familiar with..."

I'm sure he had no difficulty identifying the member in question.
Rising from the dead Punster PING!
If it’s a Weiner weiner, is it a Meta-Weiner?
Totally STD-joke worthy malapropism.
About now were weiner a pubbie there would b calls for his head.
Great line re “identifying the member in question”.
A guess there are at least two weiner Members in Congress, Little Anthony and Barney’s Frank.
I wonder if there is a Weiner Caucus? It shouldn’t be hard to start up one. If you can cut the mustard, you can join. All it takes is a straight up and down vote. In fact, you can be the Wurst Member and still be considered for member-ship.
Wait. Considering that most liberal Democrats are moral pricks, couldn’t they also join?
The slogan of the Weiner Caucus: “We Weiner Caucus Members stand hard and firm against anyone who gets in our way. We’ll vote Democratic straight down the line.”
Oh, really, Steny? Reporters asked the Capital Hill Police and the FBI if they were investigating and they both said "no, Weiner hasn't asked us to so we're not." So, where did you get that understanding, Steny? You wouldn't be lying to coverup for a colleague would you?
