(CNN) -- A weekend controversy involving a lewd photo posted on the Twitter account of Rep. Anthony Weiner is a "prank" caused by a hacker, Weiner told CNN on Monday.
Weiner, a New York Democrat who is one of the leading liberal voices in the House, blamed the photo on a hacker who got control of his social networking accounts.
What's next? The dog ate my amendment? Next thing you know, this guy's gonna claim that he's on his way to a vote and can't be arrested for OUI... Seriously, while it is quite possible that the account was hacked, it's curious that there is no investigation underway - one would think that the Congressman would want proof that it was in fact a hack and not his doing. Color me skeptical when the Congressman's response is:
"Look, you've got the Republicans who are playing games with the debt limit, you've got a Supreme Court justice who's refusing to recuse himself despite conflicts of interest, you have a health care act that's under siege. You know this is a distraction," he told CNN. "I get it."
Deflect much?
And yes, the congressman's name really is Weiner...
That is all.

This is the same Dick, er 'scuse me, Weiner who tried to have all the Gold Sellers shut down a couple of months ago, because "Americans don't need to own Gold, they need to buy U.S. Bonds!" He's notorious for Screaming over the other person when it's the opposition turn to speak during Talking Head Times. He'll probably take over as the #1 Asshole in Congress after Barney Frank strokes out.
You'd think Weiner would have learned from his fellow NY Congressdude Chris Lee about electronic communications. But that just goes to show how politicians from downstate ignore the rest of the state.
Tell you what - if you manage to sell that bridge, I'll toss in the rest of NYC on the condition that the buyer has to move it somewhere else.
Sadly, this has been getting zero coverage on the Lame Stream Media. Now, imagine if it was, oh say, Sen. Scott Brown who was alleged to have done this. None stop on NYT, Boston Glob, CNN, and all of the nitwits, I mean, networks.
Media bias? What, media bias?
It's a dem, nobody is going to cover it... sigh...
If someone (Dan Wolfe) doctored up a screen grab of a fake tweet then sent it to Andrew Breitbart then no laws have been broken and there's nothing for the FBI to investigate. When Anthony Weiner saw the tweet which appeared to be from his account he just assumed that his account had been hacked.
Weiner’s first step is to explain what he knows; the second is to report the incident to the FBI to investigate. Hacking the verified social media account of a sitting US congressman is an FBI matter. No lawyers necessary at this point. Once it’s investigated, then lawyers get involved.
Suddenly the schmuck who is responsible for the profligate waste, mismanagement & misappropriation of the people’s tax dollars wants to focus on the spending limits? This “distraction” should continue until the feckless liar tells the truth about his perversion. It is good that not all journalists are intimidated by a putz like Weiner. This embarrassing episode could not happen to a more deviant, hateful red diaper, anti-American neo-Marxist slime. I wonder if his schvantz is as ugly as he is.
