How a violated tweeter actually behaves
A Democrat hacked the twitter account of Republican Speaker of the (Ohio) House, William Batchelder, this week. Batchelder, who isn’t tech savvy and by his own admission didn’t even know he had a twitter “device” at all, nonetheless took the appropriate action to deal with the offense.
Mike Dittoe, communication director for the House Republican caucus, said he got a call Monday night from a follower of Batchelder’s Twitter account informing him of the unusual postings on the account.
Dittoe said he knew it had become a real problem when the liberal group ProgressOhio tweeted on Tuesday: “Wow!! Suddenly Bill Batchelder supports” and went on to list various liberal groups and causes, and a link to the fake tweets.
Among the fake tweets were those that promoted former Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland and criticized Republican Gov. John Kasich.
Dittoe said House GOP legal counsel Michael Lenzo worked with Twitter to get the account shut down and the posts erased.
Earlier this year, caucus staff worked with Twitter to have a fake Batchelder account shut down, Dittoe said.
Rep. Anthony Weiner is said to be one of the most tech savvy pols in Washington. Yet we are supposed to believe that it’s reasonable of him not to shut his allegedly compromised twitter feed down. We’re supposed to believe that it’s reasonable of him not to call in the cops — except to harass reporters as he did today — or to work with twitter to resolve the issue. We’re supposed to believe all this, and a whole lot more.
This miserable little creep is taking us all for fools. He is taking the media for fools, he is taking Gennette Nicole’s irate mother for a fool, he is taking everyone for nothing but a bunch of fools.
Weiner should just do the honorable thing, probably for the first time in his life, and resign so as not to put the country through this ridiculous charade.
It’s obvious why Weiner hasn’t done this yet. Because he’s the one that sent the tweet, and he knows darned good and well that any internal Twitter hacking investigation prior to shutting down the account would show it.
He doesn’t need to resign. Unlike you little Puritans, New York voters love their Congress overlords to cheat. They returned Rangle to office, they would vote for Weiner again in 2012. He just need to stick “it” out.
Weiner sends pics of his dick to women half his age because he can’t perform with women who are his equal. If he was any kind of stud at all, he’d be doing it with his wife instead of in cyberspace.
Anyone who idolizes him probably also thinks Charlie Sheen is “winning.”
If Weiner were any kind of a man, he would not have married Hillary Clinton’s hideously ugly lesbian lover.
Just sayin’.
sadly but oh so true icc, the article itself sounds like a description of the average democrat,
No, no, no… please do not resign quite yet. This has been delicious! Even the MSM cannot resist. The jokes are just too titillating, too irresistible. Even the libs are having a “Wiener roast”.
The best one was from a commenter on TownHall: “That’s what happens when you send junk mail.”
For real delicious satisfaction, go to Iowahawk. SchadenFreude rules!
So if someone did hack into his account and sent the “picture”, would the trial be held in “small claims court”?? HA HA HA, I just couldn’t resist.
QUIT MAKING UNREASONABLE DEMANDS OF REPRESENTATIVE WEINER!
He doesn’t know the meaning of the word “honorable”.
No Democrat is capable of understanding the concept of honor. Sadly, the same is true for many Republicans.
icc is absolutely right. The ignorant people in his district would be glad to re-elect him. How could they survive with an honest politician?
