Rep. Anthony Weiner 'can’t say with certitude' photo isn't him

Rep. Anthony Weiner says he “can’t say with certitude” that the lewd photo of a man’s crotch sent using his Twitter account to one of his followers isn’t of him.

“I didn’t send that picture out,” Weiner said in an interview with NBC News.

“That’s not a picture of you?” reporter Luke Russert asked.

Weiner responded: “You know, I can’t say with certitude.”

The New York Democrat continued to claim that a hacker sent the photo to a 21-year-old college co-ed in Seattle.

“My system was hacked, pictures can be manipulated, dropped in and inserted,” he said. “One reason I asked a firm to look at what the heck happened here … is to see maybe something was manipulated, maybe something was dropped in.”

“We don’t know for sure what happened here,” Weiner added. “But let’s try to take a step back. This is a circumstance where someone committed a prank on the internet, spoofed me, made fun of me, whatever. We’re taking it seriously in as much we want to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

Weiner hasn’t called for an official investigation by the FBI or Capitol Police, although he told Russert he has hired a private “securty firm” to find out what happened. Previously, Weiner had said he hired a lawyer to investigate.

“We don’t know exactly what happened here. It was a prank,” Weiner said.

But Weiner hasn’t sought a criminal probe because “it is not a national security thing — I’m not sure I want to put national federal resources into trying to figure out who posted a picture on Weiner’s website of whatever. I’m not really sure it rises, no pun intended, to that level.”

“And let me say one other thing,” he added. “I think it’s fair and reasonable to ask some of the questions. It was a prank, still, I think it’s fair to ask the question. I think we have to be careful not to take this out of context. this is not a national security matter. This is not an instance — we’re not making a federal case out of this and I don’t think anyone else should. But the things I do want to work on in Congress here are being interrupted by this, which I think is the intention of the person that did this to begin with.”

Instead of “I must have butt called you”, it's “I must have Weiner tweeted you”.

Someone at Oscar Mayer meats division is assembling a job offer for a former US Congressman, as the new driver of the company vehicle.

It was disguised in underwear. I can see where he could be confused. Why he has pictures, though, I can’t understand - unless he is just another pervert.

Are we going to need a line up like the female gym teacher demanded in Porky's?

Yes. I see. SO MANY congressmen have close-ups taken of their crotches that, I mean, like, it could be ANYONE’s. Perhaps Hillary’s.

That's the difference between Rep. Wewiner and me, I guess: I KNOW where all the photos of my junk are. ;)

Look, everyone. As Weiner said yesterday, there is nothing to this story and to get back to talking about the debt ceiling and Clarence Thomas. ///////////////////

That means that someone has taken a picture of Weiner’s wiener at some point. So the next question should be, “Who and how many people have taken pictures of your wiener, Weiner?”

Rahm Emanuel shower-time escapades IMHO.

The lesson here is, don’t take pictures of your hardware, ever. Not even for your wife. Not even for work. Not even for art or science.

A firm? (Jokes, writing themselves...) But why not ask an AGENCY to investigate, you know, like the FBI?????

I mean, since you think it might well be your wiener, don't you want to know who is standing near your crotch, fondling you, and snapping these pictures of your little bulge while you are working on raising the debt ceiling?

How long before we hear that the Wiener’s are remodeling? They need to get rid of the flooring and chair/table leg that is visible in that pic before they call in the feds to investigate.

I called this. He has his own security working to find out what happened. That will remain confidential. We will never know what really happened unless there is a real investigation. He will claim he made a civil settlement and that is the end of it.

This man has claimed a federal crime was committed yet no official report has been filed to launch an investigation.

Weiner is very good at missed-erection.
