The Internet was abuzz Saturday after it was reported that Rep. Anthony Weiner had apparently sent a lewd photo to a Seattle-area college student.
The New York Democrat quickly asserted that his online accounts had been "hacked" after Andrew Breitbart's BigGovernment.com reported that Weiner's Twitter account was used to send the photo, which shows the pelvic area of a man in gray undershorts with his tumescent penis bulging.
Late Friday night, a public message from Weiner's Twitter account (@RepWeiner) included a link to the penis photo, posted on the YFrog.com photo-sharing network. That message was directed to a Twitter account identified as belonging to 21-year-old Gennette Nicole Cordova, a student at Whatcom Community College in Bellingham, Washington.
Caches of Cordova's Twitter messages appeared to show that on April 9 she sent a message: "I wonder what my boyfriend @RepWeiner is up to right now." One of her friends on Twitter remarked the next day that Cordova's "crush" on the congressman was "cute." In one of his Twitter messages Friday announcing an appearance on the MSNBC cable network, Weiner made a joking reference to what time the show could be seen in Seattle.
Cordova's Twitter and Facebook accounts were deleted Saturday -- "Very odd," New York reporter Liz Benjamin remarked -- and the YFrog account that included the penis photo was also deleted. Media critic Lee Stranahan speculates on the motives for those deletions. While Weiner has made flippant references on Twitter to what was quickly dubbed "WeinerGate," he has made no explanation of how the "hacking" took place. Attempts to reach the congressman's press office were unsuccessful, blogger/talk-radio personality Peter Ingemi reported Saturday evening.

Hmmm....
So Weiner sends a picture of his Weener to somebody...
Picturing this sniveling little whining douchebag congresscritter in my head, it doesn’t surprise me.
Hillary, a woman scorned.
Weiner sends pics of his weiner. Priceless. You can't make this stuff up!!
Congratulations to the spectator for winning this morning’s STUMP THE CHUMP contest with the word “tumescent”.
“this shows clearly what they are capable of, in the area of scrubbing and hiding documents and fraud, and how quickly, even for a relative minor reason.”
Agree. I used to think the Internets were going to free up information, but it seems it’s just as flexible as when Stalin used to edit people out of his photos.
I know there were articles describing how Abbie Hoffman visited the Carter White House (even when he was on the FBI Wanted List), but now they are nowhere to be found.
And now this woman becomes unperson double quick.
“An immature ego-centric idiot in the “Making” (sic)
Seriously, babe . . . Anthony Weiner? Get to your eye doctor pronto
Farve: "D'oh!!!"
LOL! The idiot doesn’t know that there are was to check MAC addresses’s, fortunately for him he can just fade away. This is just to stupid.
was is ways, whew, Memorial Day weekend requires work.
I met Abbie Hoffman in ‘84-85 up in Clayton NY. He was living in the Thousand Islands area of NY. Pretty convenient for a guy on the FBI most wanted list. All he had to do was jump in a boat, shoot across the St. Lawrence Seaway (river) into Quebec. Handy huh?
I look back at how young and stupid I was. I thought I was meeting a hero back then. If it happened today, I’d hold him until the cops got there. He was in the US when we met.
Yep, stupid wasn’t I? I spent a summer on an Island up there. Had a blast, but was young and dumb!
——that would be the “penile” code-—
It’s funnier than that, if possible. Whatcom County, WA, where the school is, is on the Canuck border in far north Washington state. It’s been a haven for pot heads, et al for a good long time. It seems one has to be pretty much studying “chemistry” to be “in School” there. My apologies to any Whatcoms who are still sober. It seems to be the “turnaround” for the Mexican motorhome drug runners cruising the Hwy 97 milk run.
I always knew Weiner was a dick but, frankly, I’d never suspect he was a member of the Brett Favre Society.
Too bad Democrats never resign over sex scandals, even when true.
Ahh.... whadda ya do. At least you remember it.
