RealClearPolitics - Video - Weiner: "I Can't Say With Certitude" That Picture Isn't Of Me
Well, maybe he has had soooo many photos taken of his private parts, that it's really hard to say. Maybe photo taking of his private areas is his hobby, and he just can't be sure if that particular photo is one of many dozens of photos.

I will say this, it was a really generous computer hacker, to hack into a US congressman's Twitter account, and then hand it back over so quickly. Sort of like a car thief; steals Wiener's sports car, gets into a few accidents, and then parks it back in his garage, complete with the keys, CDs, stereo, and even reset the radio station back to Wiener's favorite punk rock channel.

All three of the accounts, too! Wasn't that nice of these hackers to let him get back into his account(s) just 4 minutes after the pic was sent?

Rep. Anthony Weiner continued to refuse to answer questions late Wednesday afternoon on whether he is the man in a lewd photo that appeared on his Twitter page last week and continued to charge that his account had been hacked or otherwise manipulated.

At a wandering eight-minute press conference steps off the House floor, reporters pressed the New York Democrat to clarify his comments from earlier in the day, when a reporter from MSNBC asked him if the photo was of him and his response was: “You know, I can’t say with certitude.”

Ok now, this is just getting revved up on the blogosphere.

Photos: Anthony Weiner's Self-Proclaimed Girlfriend is a 21-Year Old Coed, only 25 Years Younger Than the Married Congressman



Somehow, THIS picture appeared on Rep. "Weiner"'s Twitter account.

His yfrog account is connected to his Twitter account. Who buys that both were hacked?

http://bigjournalism.com/files/2011/...1.04.09-PM.png

I'm speechless - apart from the fact he is married and sending lewd pictures of himself, um....some package.

Are we supposed to believe both his accounts were hacked? How does one explain him deleting the "evidence" of said hackery? Wouldn't he want to involve the police? I'm betting....no.

And what about HER behavior after the fact - deleted all pics and her account.

I'm thinking "weiner" is in trouble.

Of course, I thoroughly expect the MSM to IGNORE this story. We all know, they'd be all over it if it were a republican caught with his........."weiner" rising to the occasion.
To your great disappointment, this is looking like a hoax.

It kind of seems a bit odd to me too. I suspect this whole story may not end up being too good for the Democrats or Weiner.

My betting is that he isn't telling the whole truth yet.

I'm beginning to think the photo is his and he wasn't hacked. 55/45...

Where's the rottie/bulldog cross, Pelosi? She was all over Mark Foley for a lot less than this. Why hasn't the Democrat House leadership asked for Weiner's resignation?

Ah, yes.....Foley was a Republican. Weiner is a Democrat. Two sets of standards. One for Dimocrats and one for Republicans.

Not to worry, one of them will make up another.
