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.

Weiner twittering, next time on Oprah.
oh geez - when you put “tumescent” and “O’Reilly” in the same post - the word “loofah” pops in my head!
Chests are out for Republicans. Penises are OK for Democrats.
Cheers!
Anyone know what the penal code says about this?
Well, we could file a writ of mandamus or issue a subpoena.
But that might not be necessary -- I mean, he's already submitted his briefs!
Cheers!
Cheers!

Rep. Weiner grilled over lewd pic; recipient says it was sent by ‘stalker’
US Rep. Anthony Weiner yesterday spent the day on the grill after a lewd photo purporting to be of him was sent to a pretty Seattle coed from his Twitter account — but the young woman insisted a stalker was the culprit.
The six-term Democratic congressman struggled to play defense as rumors swirled, continuing to insist that the illicit tweet — a below-the-waist photo of a man in bulging gray boxer-briefs — was the work of a hacker. His rep called the incident nothing more than “a distraction.”
The woman on the receiving end of the tawdry tweet — 21-year-old Gennette Nicole Cordova — said in a statement published in another New York newspaper that she was sure the questionable photo came from a person who had harassed her many times “after the congressman followed me on Twitter a month or so ago.”
“to” is “too”, too. ;-)

Perhaps a Hitler rant also? How have you been, my friend? I was in NY for two weeks recently at the auto show.
