I'm more dubious about the little twerp who fabricated this story....

There is no little twerp that fabricated the story.....all you have to do is look at the basic facts to realize he is caught and lying about it.

When we refuse to recognize a bad politician they just keep on multiplying. I know it is painful, but sometimes it is necessary.

Sorry I refuse to take the word of a right wing blogger who has been proven more than once
to be less than honest....

Rep. Anthony Weiner, probably the most powerful rising star of the Democratic Party at this point, should not have been surprised to find himself the target of Andrew Breitbart’s truth-distorting poison pen- indeed, it’s only shocking it took Breitbart this long to drum something up. Breitbart, who owns and operates a conservative blogging collective, is known for his habit of snipping and clipping the truth to cause a giant drama and backlash, one that unfortunately tends to take down innocent people before the actual facts of the matter are ever examined.

Isn't this worse than what that Chris Lee did up in NY? The guy that resigned? Oh, that's right, he's a republican.

Shouldn't Weiner be answering some questions...or should he just get a pass on sending out pictures of himself in a state of arousal.....to a woman not his wife....and then trying to cover it up?

IF this were a case of hacking, shouldn't the police be involved?

Let's see if I have this straight - a picture from HIS yfrog account was posted from HIS Twitter account to a woman in Seattle.
I don't think Chris Lee should have had to resign either, and IF Wiener is guilty neither should he.

You can be a creep and still be a good politician (Bill Clinton.)

Still doesn't explain away the timeline, the tweet, the multiple accounts unconnected that were supposedly hacked, the scrubbing of the internet by this woman and her friends, the lack of police involvement on Weiner's part, her calling him her "boyfriend" on multiple occasions, her friends thinking it was "cute", Weiner, being a follower of this woman on twitter, his office LYING about the timeline and comments, his joking about the "incident" when the NORMAL response would have been alarm and to call in the authorities.

I'll be interested to hear anything about his wife in the coming days - I'm sure she recognized him from the photo.

The Left can try and spin all they want, but questions are piling up and the comments by Weiner don't fly at all.

I imagine even if he admitted it, you'd still want to excuse his behavior.

Nobody calls the "authorities" when your FB account or other social account gets hacked. That's nonsense. FB, emails ect. get hacked all day, everyday.

What behavior? There is no evidence of wrong doing, nothing but speculation thus far.

I get that you follow the guilty until proven innocent scenario.....
