Weiner in Crotchgate

I was hacked it happens to people, you move on. This is a prank, not a terribly creative one and it’s a distraction. Look you know you’ve got the Republicans who are playing games with the debt limit, you’ve got a Supreme Court Justice whose refusing to recuse himself despite conflicts of interests, you have health care act that is under siege you know this is this is a distraction. —Anthony Weiner

A crotch-shot of male briefed genitals was sent from Congressman’s Anthony Weiner’s twitter account to a young college girl. The congressman said it was a prank. How would he know that…unless…

Furthermore, how does a bulging briefed crotch-shot of male sex organs tweeted from Rep. Anthony Weiner’s twitter account become a Republican problem?

Weiner thinks that it is. He and some are suggesting that Congressman Weiner’s twitter account was hacked and the crotch-shot was sent to distract Congress from doing the work of the people. They're alleging a vast rightwing conspiracy or Republican schoolboys prank no doubt.

In spite of Democrat allegations here’s what we know. Rep. Weiner is conceding that the picture of male genitals was on his account or computer. Rep. Weiner is conceding that the picture of male genitals was in fact sent from his account. In addition, Congressman Weiner’s explanation is that his account was hacked and the picture was sent as a prank.

According to Weiner, we can all move on there’s nothing to see here. Further the congressman wants our attention focused on Republicans not his twitter tweeting pranks habits. (see 3:20min video)

If the congressman was hacked by Conservatives of the vast right-wing conspiracy, why doesn’t he call the Capitol Police or the FBI? According to Breitbart.tv CNN's John King asks a great question: "There's one way the congressman could try to put this to rest, and that would be to call the Capitol Police or call the FBI and say, ‘please launch an investigation because I was hacked.' Why hasn't he done that?"

According to CNN’s Dana Bash, Rep. Weiner's office did not respond to that question but informed CNN that the congressman instead has hired a lawyer. (see 1:24min video)

CNN's Dana Bash reports on the latest developments involving the lewd photo sent out on Rep. Anthony Weiner's Twitter account to a young college girl in the Seattle area. She says despite the congressman's claim that his account hand been "hacked" neither the Capitol Police nor the FBI are currently investigating a hacking. Bash says that Weiner's office is "loathe" to treat the episode as anything more than a "prank".

Just so we all understand. a crouch shot of male genitals was sent from Congressman’s Anthony Weiner’s twitter account to a young college girl in Seattle and the best that congressman can claim is that his twitter account was hacked and this was just a prank . so let’s all just move on and focus on the real sexual perverts …the Republicans.

Oh, I get it, to Weiner this whole sorted incident is all like O.J. Simpson looking for the “real killer(s)”

As CNN’s John King says,"Curious."

The real Weiner?
