Rep. Anthony Weiner struggled to explain how a picture of somebody's bulging underwear briefly appeared on his Twitter account, claiming in a back-to-back string of interviews that he was clearly hacked -- but hinting the photograph could have been an image of him.
"I have photographs. I don't know what photographs are out there in the world of me," he said in one cable news interview, asked whether he'd ever snapped a photo like that of himself.
In another interview, Weiner acknowledged "it could be" the case that one of his private photos spilled onto the Internet. Or, he said, one could have been manipulated or pulled in from "somewhere else."
Talking briefly to reporters outside his office Thursday morning, the congressman made clear he was not interested in sitting down for more questions. "I made it very clear I did not send that picture, that my Twitter account had been hacked, and the prank apparently has been successful. But after hours, almost 11 hours of answering questions ... today, I'm going to have to get back to work," Weiner said.
In interview after interview Wednesday, Weiner insisted he did not send the photo but at the same time could not say whether the photo was his. Asked by Fox News about the origin of the image, Weiner said: "We're concerned about saying anything definitively."
Asked the same question again, Weiner snapped: "You know ... we've been sitting down for a brief moment and you're already asking if there are pictures of me in my drawers."

Don’t be so hardon him. He can only be charged with a misdeweiner.
Maybe it`s his doppelganger !?
Poor Weiner is in a pickle.
Maybe I lead a dull life, but I don't have a single picture of my johnson stuffed underwear.
When asked about the offending weiner, Weiner’s attorney, Oscar Meyer, declined comment but did hum a tune for reporters.
That is what I'd truly like to be,
For if I was an Oscar Meyer Weiner
Then everyone would take a b*te of me!"
Latest rumor is that Barney Frank set this guy up. Apparently Weiner always rubbed him the wrong way.
What about in a bathing suit? Come on come clean.
Hey, if it had looked like John Holmes he would have gleefully claimed it was him.
He walks loudly and carries a small stick.
Can we move on? The subject has gone limp, as the supply of jokes and puns has been thoroughly exhausted.
He’s done politically...no possibility to run a campaign with this ridcule..Alinsky rules:ridicule your enemy.
Paging the best alinsky student...”Will Hillary please pick up the white courtesy phone?!”
Sorry but the jokes just write themselves.
Of course I have pictures of me in a bathing suit, but have you seen the photo at issue? Some guy took his own picture looking down on just his briefs and bulge. Now, that’s weird. I sure don’t have one of those.
“Move on folks, nothing more to see here”
Remember, only “R”s are required to relinquish their seats -
“D”s always, always get a pass.
Looks like a pig in the blanket to me.
Raise your hands, all who do not know if there are pictures of your aroused privates out there in the world.
Looks like he’s been Alinsky-ied. Someone “picked it, froze it, polaroid-ed it, and publicized it” and now “pranked” it.
Actually, I think Weiner knows who took the pix and why. Maybe its a coup by the Hldabeast to get Huma back. After all, Huma must be tired of hummin’ the weiner and needs to get back to her favorite carpet.
