Fox News about to cover the burgeoning story.
Wasn't that Weiner's (sorry) point?
At the end of the day,Weiner could probably use a stiff one.
It would be such a shame if extraneous issues of repeated poor personal conduct and bad character caused problems for a promenent Democrat who is so good at his job.
We’ve seen this before when Right Wing conspiracies try to bring down good public servants that are just trying to help the poor and elderly. And children, did I forget children? Unwed mothers — opps, forget I brought that one up and don’t even mention Muslim women. By the way, did Huma get Weiner to convert? Anyway, he is an important guy and very big (whoops, wrong term again) in the current minority in the House.
"Aw. Ah am touched. He got a lotta those evasive answers from me!"
A Weiner Waiver? Hasn't he done too much of that already??
Really?
And here I thought he was going back to work on important things...
Something about a "vast right wing conspiracy" if the past is any precedent.
Why didn’t he just blame it on a “Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy” and be done with it??
Could we get back to talking about Tony now?
This is a dangerous politician that needs to be “exposed” (sorry for the pun). As stupid as it may seem, we need to force this scum from our Capitol Building.
Try watching this lunatics antics anytime, but especially on the House Floor, he pounds his fists like Kruschev use to.
Dangerous man.

Thanks for the info. I believe he is never going to ask the FBI to investigate. It appears that he may well have done this himself.

Rep. Weiner in 2009: ‘Cyber attacks...are real and demand immediate action’
Two years - nearly to the day - before Rep. Anthony Weiner’s Memorial Day weekend was thrown into turmoil by the burgeoning “Weinergate” scandal, the New York Democrat offered some strong words on cyber-security that now carry quite a bit of irony.
For those unfamiliar with the basics of the Weinergate scandal, a photo of a male erection was sent on Friday from Weiner’s verified Twitter account to a 21-year-old Washington State coed. For a quick rundown of the full timeline as of Tuesday morning, check out Jonah Goldberg’s post on the topic.
Weiner, who has refused to initiate an official investigation into what he claims was a criminal “hack” (he later dubbed it a “prank”) into his Twitter account, insisted in May 2009 that “Cyber attacks…are real and demand immediate action.” But he warned against giving a government agency too much power, and called for a “balanced approach” to cyber security.
The New York Daily News reported the Congressman’s statement thusly:
Whoa, there, Mr. President: Let’s be careful with giving the NSA more power, Rep. Anthony Weiner warned today.
That’s in response to President Obama’s move to appoint a cyber-security czar (the plan is after the jump) who Weiner doesn’t want to give up too much civilian control while protecting the country’s information grid.
“Cyber attacks — both foreign and domestic — are real and demand immediate action,” Weiner said. “But we need a balanced approach. It is important that we don’t give too much authority to a government agency that collects information and rarely shares it.”
Weiner’s call to act on cyber threats “immediate[ly]” seems all the more ironic given his hesitancy to involve law enforcement in the scandal that has dominated headlines since the tweet in question was sent on Friday evening.
One congressman, Republican Cliff Stearns of Florida, is even calling for an investigation into the alleged “hacking,” citing the same national security concerns to which Weiner paid lip service two years ago. The Daily Caller reported Tuesday:
“Although this particular incident is a matter for law enforcement, it clearly indicates that hacking is a serious problem and as Chairman it would be appropriate for the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee to examine the issue of cybersecurity to protect our privacy and to ensure our national security,” Stearns said in an email to The Daily Caller.
But previous statements notwithstanding, Weiner was reluctant to involve law enforcement in what, if true, would amount to a fairly serious breach of Congress’s digital security. Even the congressman’s defenders must admit: it doesn’t look good.
Arrogant little pr!ck.
He should call C. Destine to see how it’s really done...
“Ok .Ok ,Folks ....move away from the Weiner......”
