The Democrats are taking oaths of fealty to Weiner’s veracity, one by one. Now we’re getting somewhere.
Rep. Steny Hoyer: I believe in Weiner.
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, Maryland Democrat, does not believe the Twitter story will hurt Mr. Weiner or the Party. “Somebody hacked into his Twitter account and projected material which can happen, I guess, to anybody, which was not generated by Mr. Weiner. It’s unfortunate. Mr. Weiner is pursuing the proper authorities to see if it can be determined who hacked into,” he said during a pen and pad session on Tuesday. “I understand that it’s (hacking into a Twitter account) is an illegal activity and the proper authorities ought to pursue it.”
Sure, except Weiner isn’t sticking by the hacker version, and isn’t calling for an investigation. Why?
Rep. Charlie “I write the tax code but don’t have to live by it, suckas!” Rangel: I believe in Weiner.
Rangel, who has been beset by scandalous charges in recent years, says that Weiner is likely the victim of a smear campaign. “It’s some kind of political game they’re playing,” he says. “I don’t know who did it, but that’s what they’re doing.”
A smear campaign? In an off year, to a Rep in a safe seat? On a Friday night in the midst of a holiday weekend? What’s the point?
Rep. Louise Slaughter: I, too, believe in Weiner.
“Why would he do a stupid thing like that?” Slaughter chuckles. “Anthony Weiner is as smart as a whip.”
Is she sure he did not snap that infamous photo? “I don’t doubt for a moment that it was not him,” she says.
Well then, since you’re so sure, why don’t you explain why he hasn’t denied that it’s him?
What we have here is a minor scandal that is now tainting the entire Democratic Party. Nice job keeping a lid on your twitter problem, Anthony.
Update: Now, this is funny.
Sen. Chuck Schumer said he doesn’t think his fellow New York Democrat Rep. Anthony Weiner had anything to do with the picture of a man’s erect penis underneath gray boxer-briefs sent from Weiner’s official Twitter account Friday night.
“I don’t know the details,” Schumer said, according to the New York Daily News. “But I know him to be a person of integrity and I am virtually certain he had nothing to do with this.”
Virtually certain? Is that like virtual reality; i.e. not reality at all? And I do wonder why Chuckie is so much less certain than Louise Slaughter seems to be.

True or not, this won’t hurt him in the least. He’s a Demonrat. They operate pretty much with impunity. Rangel, tax evasion, slap on the wrist re-elected with 86%, Barney Frank, running a gay brothel out of his apartment, nada, Maxine Waters, influence peddling re: TARP money for her husbands bank, still waiting for sanctions (smart money on Rangelesque slap on the wrist), Cold Cash Jefferson, nada, greatfully defeated in re-election.
Republicans on the other hand, resign, apologize to the nation, go away.
Don’t forget MI Congressman Conyers – his wife plead guilty to bribery and is now in prison, his son was caught driving a U.S. taxpayer-owned vehicle (a Cadillac, no less) with $27K worth of concert tickets (which were stolen from him, btw) and registered to the “14th Congressional District.”
Democrats are immoral. Therefore, when they are caught doing something immoral, there are no negative repercussions. As you say, they operate pretty much with impunity. No shame. No remorse. No prosecutions. No resignations. No voter backlash. For Democrats, it’s just full speed ahead toward destroying our great nation.
Ted Kennedy got away with far worse, we know what happens if it’s a Democrat.
Gary Studds committed statuary rape of a male Congressional intern. He refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing and turned his back on his colleagues during his official rebuke. He was re-elected.
I want to know how Louise knows it’s not him.
I actually don’t want to know the answer to that. Really.
yeah, ….no balls no glory..so maybe it’s not him..
AND!!! I DEMAND!! a photo id be done IMMEDIATELY!! of Weiner’s..crotch? area to show it is or is not him…!!
I thought Weiner was crotchless….sorta like a Barney guy…yeah, so he’s married..so what, he’s still a queen…
Do you REALLY think that Weiner has a weiner that is big enough to be visible through clothing? Get real!
“What we have here is a minor scandal that is now tainting the entire Democratic Party.”
Well, to be one honest it’s only one more lump of turd in the one of the world’s biggest latrines.
Wiener gives turds everywhere a bad name.
and that was before Wienergate.
I want to hear even less about smear campaigns.
Smear campaigns, hackers, pranks…hecklers. Again, if leftist Democrats had even a whiff of an intentional attack, they would be screaming bloody murder.
If they believed their own story, the reaction would be all sound and fury.
What is the significance of the “toaster attack” comment? It sure sounds to my ear as if the TECHNOLOGY itself “turned on him”. He pressed the wrong button and flubbed a posting. That’s what I believe is the logical nexus between that comment and the posting of the photo of the person who shall not be named or denied.
If I’m hacked I don’t blame the toaster.
If it’s a smear campaign, I don’t blame the toaster.
And, I believed my own story as to either of these allegations, I demand an investigation. Not into the toaster.
Weiner (using conventional spelling derived from German) rhymes with whiner.
Hey, lighten up folks, it’s not like he did something serious like tapping his foot in a men’s room, or sending a text message to a former page who was over 18 at the time he sent it.
You’re missing the point here. Those things were reprehensible because the perpetrators were Republicans who are more or less anti-gay, and they showed the Republicans in question to be hypocrites. In this instance, this is a Democrat: by definition, a Democrat who cheats on his wife isn’t a hypocrite, he’s a hero. After all, JFK, FDR (supposedly), and Bill Clinton all did it. That makes it OK, right?
Maybe it was a blender, not a toaster. Appliance dyslexia.
I was a pretty indifferent to the whole thing until I read the first press release from the Weiner folks. My impression: the guy is a total douchebag. And what’s with that picture he uses? So now I’m watching the pile on and hoping the SOB gets the s**t kicked out him. If the rest of the Democrats want some of that, so much the better. Of course I expect Weiner will get reelected, but what the heck, that’s NYC.
He didn’t send a photo of his crotch via twitter to some dumb college girl, something guys usually do when they’re stoned or drunk. It was hackers that did it. It was dirty politics. By hackers.
Uh huh.
If this were done by l33t hackers, it would not have been a PG-13 soft porn dic-pic…it would have been a huge, hairy, veiny, throbbing horse-sized dong.
Guaranteed.
“If this were done by l33t hackers … it would have been a huge, hairy, veiny, throbbing horse-sized dong. Guaranteed.”
And that would have made it obvious to all concerned that the picture was NOT of Weiner since all Democrats are – how can I put this in a way that won’t offend anyone through my use of language? – “phallically-challenged”.
Sure…
And why doesn’t he press charges?
Hacking his account is a criminal offence.
It is easy to find out when, where and from what device it was send.
Answer that question……
Do Dems really want to circle his wagon? Clinton was “the” President, Weiner is a Representative among more than 500. As they say, think about the children. Monica was 21, and was willing (whatever that meant). The girl is 19 and was “stalked” and a porno picture forced on her.
Btw, has Weiner violated some cyber-porn laws?
Pretty soon, the Dems would call for passsing some cyber laws to restrict us from sending pictures over the net.

I wish I were a liberal liar Wiener
That is what I’d truly like to be
And if I were a liberal liar Wiener
Everyone would be in “love” with me. NOT!
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
LOL! Oh the opportunities for late night comedy on this guy will be endless –except if you happen to realize that Leftists band together…
They would prefer a GWB or a Dan Quayle.
““Why would he do a stupid thing like that?” Slaughter chuckles. “Anthony Weiner is as smart as a whip.”
How smart could he possibly be? He’s a Democrat!
Pagar,
And another point, so are the fools who will reelect him in a landslide next time he runs. The people of NY, just like the people of CA, deserve to have this preening, horny, arrogant, pond scum as their rep. The problem is the rest of us have to live with the consequences of his marxist, reality disconect, voting record.
The neat thing to me is that the Dems are hell bent on continuing the spending, no matter the evidence of failure. They are Thelma and Louise purposefully driving the car off the cliff. It’s cool how the NY brain dead voters, who have mainlined progressivism for over 100 years, keep mashing their foot down on the accelerator despite the fact that there are huge lit bill boards that state “Danger! Cliff Edge 500 Feet Ahead!”
When the day of reckoning comes, as it will sooner than most can imagine, and our economy completely unravels, the liberals are going to find out there is hell to pay. We shall see how good Mr. Weiners survival skills are.
My bet is that when you take away his mouth, there is almost nothing else there.
Nice Job, New York voters, you and Weiner deserve each other. Good luck feeding your selves off his ideology, you have only your selves to blame.
Lust reduces IQ by a minimum of 50 points.
He is smart to be a Democrat. There are a lot more a Dem can get away with, e.g. set up a male brothel in your basement, give a cushy govt. job to your lover, drive your car off a bridge to kill a pregnant woman, oral-s*x with an intern, cheat on your taxes, president of 57 states, incessant golf trips, Antoinette tour for your wife, assumed GOD SAVE THE QUEEN a background music to accompany your toast,…
Just think a Republican had done anything remotely similar…
He may be immoral, amoral, or whatever, he may be a moron, but he is smart that he is a Democrat politician.
Somewhere, right this moment, Bill Clinton is trying to figure out how to send pictures on Twitter.
It’s always the cover-up that ends up biting politicians in the ass. Heh.
It’s just sex… if you’re a Democrat. A piffling thing.
If you are a Republican, you are a hypocrite. It is scandalous.
Rep Whiner has the (D). The press will either ignore the story or go with the unknown hacker meme. Were he an (R) this story would be front page news and the lead item on every evening news broadcast. And the media knows that and id proud of the contribution to te cause.
Takeaway: Louise Slaughter can authoritatively state that is not Weiner’s tallywhacker.
There was a young Marxist named Weiner
Who should have done something much keener
Than sending a pic of a tiny wee dick
Oh, couldn’t we find someone cleaner?
It was DICK Cheney’s erection in those underpants, not Weiner’s wiener; which means its Bush’s fault. Get with the program folks.
Just so you know, the REAL joke is that this guy sent a picture of a tent instead of the bare thing. I have recently discovered that men who use online dating services seem to think that it is a good idea to send photographic verification of potency (yes, that is exactly what you think) to complete strangers, as a prelude to further discussion.
So, we know that Weiner doesn’t quite get it. This makes me wonder why he sent that pic in the first place. It makes me wonder if he was asked to do so, or egged on, somehow.
There was a young Wiener named Tony
He got the Dems grunty and groany
He sent of a tweet
Now he’s taking the heat
Cause his underwear looked kinda boney
Ok, I’ve never really liked this guy. He always came across as a angry, self righteous jerk. This means that I’m kinda enjoying seeing him twist in the wind a bit.
That said, come one! What lonely/drunk/horny guy hasn’t sent an inappropriate picture of himself out over the inter-tubes? Yes, we all know that if he was from the other party the news cycle would be turning him into road kill. So what? We have all know this for decades now. The MSM is filled with people who are even bigger jerks that Mr. Tighty-Whitey’s. It’s just something we have to take into our calculations.
I don’t expect anything to come of this. Just gonna sit back and enjoy a moment of schadenfreude.
The first time I saw that photograph, I thought it was yet another story about Joanne Kloppenburg and her recount.
Not joking.
No, I thought it was Horshack from Welcome Back Cotter
When are we going to have term limits. I get sick and tired of the entitled. All they care about is themselves.
That pic from Air Force One was even more incriminating:
http://www.dunningmarketing.com/moonbattery/weiner.jpg
Funny guy!
I noticed that he standing across from Barney Frank…..Hmmmmmm…..wonder what set him off about Bwaney?
The pic was taken in my well pad. It’s kind of a Dean Martin/Matt Helm theme. All I think about is getting back to my four wifes. I’m climbing the walls down here. But, I will see you guys on the 5th of June.
Someone please tell Leatherneck I said thanks for all the beer, and hot pork skins. It’s what helps create these pictures of my private parts. However, I have to stop with the beer, and lead the Ummah to victory over you Infidels, and those rotten Jews.
See ya soon,
12ever
HOW DARE YOU!!! Tony is hustling a young black female. He is a white democrat and has an absolute and historical right to do so!!! The media and the black racists MUST fall in line and recognize Tony’s randy rights and BACK OFF!!
Unfortunately for the Congressman,forensic investigation proved that the lewd photo of “bulging underware” sent to the college coed proved to be a photoshopped pic of an Oscar Mayer Weiner in a pair of the Congressman’s old briefs.
Weiner seems awfully cock-sure of himself. Of course, I probably would be too if all my democratic friends went balls out in my defense. I hope he ends up getting shafted, personally. I don’t think we’re going to hear the end of this for a schlong time.
Is there not an old time hokum blues somg
“Come and warm my Weiner”
Wiener-gate ?
Pfft, it’s no big deal….
I see 3 possibilities.
1: he is guilty and nothing more than embarraseement will come of it.
2: He is a victim of a bad joke gone awry.
3: He is not the target but the epicenter of a much larger plot. The enemies of the democrats picked him because of his vulnerability (his established proclivity for young asian girls) to use as a proxy to taint other democrats (most of whom are not in safe seats) who dare rally to his aid.
It is either arrogance mixed with stupidity, bad humor or sheer evil geniuos.
Weiner should learn from Newt patriotism defense. After all, Weiner was just sharing his excitement upon hearing “The Star Spangled Banner”.
How is Louise so certain when Anthony apparently isn’t? NBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports:
He did say that he didn’t send the picture. “I was hacked.”
Via RealClearPolitics:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/06/01/weiner_i_cant_say_with_certitude_that_picture_isnt_of_me.html
He is a Dorothy! A certified fruitcake!
he should be cruising with attractive hulks
and leave the girls alone.
A little respect for a sitting…er standing…”member” of Congress please.
I think this was taken by a security camera after a TSA pat-down.
The pup-tent is not nearly as hideous as his dick- head (sorry, the jokes write themselves).
Weiner’s pathetic “alibi” which reads more like an admission of his guilt is similar to Pelosi’s famous quip. “We have to pass the [Healthcare} bill to find out what’s in it.” Both are stupid comments made by people devoid of morality and a conscience.
“On a Friday night in the midst of a holiday weekend? What’s the point?” Perhaps the point was provide to smokescreen by smearing Weiner – on the same day that Clarence Thomas released his financial disclosure forms showing that he invested thousands of dollars in Liberty Consulting Inc. a lobbying and consulting firm founded by his wife to cater to the “tea party.”
FYI, the person who “broke” Weinergate on Twitter – Dan Wolfe aka @patriotusa76 – had been stalking Rep Weiner for months and anticipating just such a scandal. On May 5th he tweeted that a Dem sex scandal was about to be revealed. And on May 11th he tweeted “Rumor (via @goatsred) top 5 RightWing blogger has sexscandal pics of “Big time” Congressman> @RepWeiner are you the next Chris Lee?”
Uncanny yes? The one person who had been stalking Weiner for months was the one to catch him at JUST the right moment! Never mind the fact that twitter/yfrog images can be emailed and posted on someone’s twitter feed WITHOUT logging into that person’s twitter account. Never mind that Rep Weiner has denied ever posting that photo. And don’t mind the fact that the photo in question contains NONE of the exif data native to a Blackberry device.
If the Democrats are actually trying to “circle the wagon” then it only means he actually did what he is alleged to have done!
