Rep. Weiner uncertain whether lewd photo was of him

(Reuters) - New York Congressman Anthony Weiner said on Wednesday that he did not send a lewd photo over his Twitter account but cannot be sure that the photo was not of him.

"It certainly doesn't look familiar to me, but I don't want to say with certitude to you something that I don't know to be the certain truth," Weiner told CNN in an interview.

"I didn't send any twitter picture," he said, adding that the photo might have been manipulated.

Weiner has said his account was hacked when a lewd photo of a man in bulging boxer briefs was tweeted to a 21-year-old female college student in Washington state over the weekend.

"This seems like it was a prank to make fun of my name," Weiner said. "When you are named Weiner, that happens a lot."

Weiner's office told Reuters on Tuesday that the New York congressman, who has a high profile as an advocate of liberal causes, had hired an attorney to advise him on whether or not he could press criminal charges as a result of the alleged hack of his Twitter account.

"This is not a national security matter," Weiner said. "We're not making a federal case out of this....I'm not sure it rises -- no pun intended -- to that level," he said.

Weiner said that the law firm he hired has an Internet security firm that is investigating how his account was hacked.

He declined to say whether there actually was a photo of him in his undies like the one sent to the student.

"This is part of the problem with the way this has progressed, and one of the reasons I was perhaps, forgive me, a little stiff yesterday," Weiner told reporters on Capitol Hill.

The student, Gennette Cordova, issued a statement to the New York Daily News that denied she personally knew Weiner but said, "I am a fan."

Weiner had tens of thousands of followers on twitter before the weekend's incident. In contrast, Weiner was following 198 people.

In other news, Chinese-American politician Dong Wang* has withdrawn from the presidential nomination race. No reason was cited.


* I know a person with this name. Really.

Strangely enough he was making jokes about it in interviews while it was being reported that at the same time he is outraged ad seeking legal counsel on whether to sue or whatever.

I find it weird that he didn't immediately deny that it was his "package." Unless he is really that unfamiliar with his own body or he actually does take pictures of it. Either option seems a little "odd."

So, what's next (drum roll):

Boehner's Boner?

(For those who don't know it's pronounced Bay-ner. But still.)

No link I've followed has shown me any cock :(

I mean I'm not desperate for it.
It's just when it's a SCANDAL you think you'd get at least a bit of turgidity.

infinite monkey 06-02-2011 08:20 AM

It's a cockamamie story.

Poppycock!

It's cocktroversial and uncockrroberated.

In fact, it's unsupported.

*snicker*

This thread is no good without the picture.
I think it's SFW, but I hid it behind a link just in case.

infinite monkey 06-02-2011 08:46 AM

See, no supporter!

(Reuters) -

I love it!

Not even Reuters has the balls to mention his party affiliation. Imagine that! :rolleyes:

Who is the ugly chick whose picture heads the tweet?

Speaking of tweeters ... isn't that a euphemism that's fallen out of use?

TheMercenary 06-02-2011 06:11 PM

I think Viagra ought to pick up the pic and use it in a commercial, I mean since he can't say it is his cock he couldn't claim copyrights.... :)

"If I'm a lawyer, and I'm representing a politician, in general, it's not against the law to lie to the media. It's not against the law to lie to your constituents. It is against the law to lie to law enforcement authorities," he said. "Martha Stewart went to jail not for insider trading, but for lying. Barry Bonds gets charged, goes to trial, not for using steroids - for lying about it. So if I'm a lawyer looking at a case such as this, I'm going to be real careful before I let my clients talk to law enforcement authorities, because I don't want to find my client, you know, jammed up here criminally because, despite what happened here, they're not telling the truth."

Ford said the content of the tweet also has to be considered.

"There are laws against sending out pornography on your account," he explained. "People will look at this and say, 'This might be really distasteful, but it's not pornographic.' You know, the young lady, if she felt she was being harassed in some fashion. But she hasn't expressed that. And you might say one instance of something like this wouldn't rise to that level, either. I don't think you're really talking about possible criminal activity there."

However, this situation may escalate to an investigation by an ethics committee, Ford said.

"So assuming that it was a picture of you, because I think that that's the conclusion that a lot of people are going to draw? Do you think that someone knew that you had a photo like that in your account and then knew enough of your account information to be able to hack into it and send it?"

Weiner said, "Look this is exactly the problem that we have with this issue. And I just want you to respect the idea that at some point the questions can get more, and more and more invasive and bizarre."
Why couldn't he just answer the question? This is starting to get interesting.

Why do so many of these reports never mention his party affiliation?
