CNN First To Track Down Rep. Anthony Weiner For TV Comment On Twitter Scandal (Video)
Mediaite ^ | May 30,2011 | CNN First To Track Down Rep. Anthony Weiner For TV Comment On Twitter Scandal

Posted on 05/30/2011 5:51:40 PM PDT by Hojczyk

CNN’s The Situation Room had the honor of debuting this weekend’s biggest story– the lewd photo allegedly surfacing on Rep. Anthony Weiner’s Twitter account– on cable news. And adding yet more pieces to the puzzle, CNN managed to track down Rep. Weiner for an official comment, the first time the Congressman has addressed the issue on television.

“It happens to people,” Rep. Weiner asserted, “You move on.” While he did not elaborate any further on his comments, he did echo the sentiments he and his spokesman gave to the Daily Caller earlier today. He once again called it a “distraction” and “a prank, not a terribly creative one.”

Dana Bash’s report also mentions the internet battle surfacing in the aftermath of the photo’s appearance, noting that, while Daily Kos had dismissed the story as a “right-wing conspiracy,” Big Government proprietor Andrew Breitbart had only initially reported the story, and was now calling, according to his statement to CNN, for a “forensic analysis” to put the matter under rest.

Weiner should have told the truth. He meant to send the picture to Barneys Frank. Moron

Barneys Frank

Is that Anthony's Weiner, or Barney's Frank?

Good one Hoss.

If his version were true he would have filed a bill already.

Did anyone notice that the description democrat was not used to describe Weiner? I read this early today and was thinking “Really Him? Can’t be.” Later when I read it again, I realized I was actually thinking of one of the Republicans and I am glad I was right it wasn’t him, instead it was that nasty little democrat, Weiner. I’m sure the MSM will cover for him.

The man is guilty as hell. You notice he did not say that it was a damn photo shop and someone did it to him, no his answer was lawyer talk, miss direct the question and make it sound like you answered.

Time for Anthony’s women to come forward. Let everyone know how disappointed in him they are, saying they thought they were the only ones that were receiving Weinergrams. Maybe a few guys will come forward too?

Best advice the Weiner has received on his problem to date has come from Bill Clinton, “Better put some ice on that . . “

Agreed. Hacking into someone’s acct and damaging their reputation and possibly their marriage is a crime, and a serious one. A ‘prank’ is getting drunk and sending a lewd photo...and living to regret it.

Well that wiener in the pic belongs to someone. Is it Weiner’s wiener? I foresee a wiener lineup in Weiner’s future.

No idea, but this little weiner is a liar. He is way to quiet. Where are the fits and loud denials. Somethings up (no pun intended).
