Memorial Day barbecues may be over, but this town is enjoying a Weiner roast of obscene proportions.
On the spit: Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York, perhaps the most pugilistic Democrat in the House, who now finds himself in a fight he does not relish. Over the holiday weekend, a waist-down photograph of an aroused man in boxer briefs was sent from Weiners official Twitter account to tens of thousands of followers.
Weiner had a plausible explanation: His Twitter account was hacked and he didnt send the photo.
Thats where the plausibility ends. Asked by NBCs Luke Russert whether the photograph was if his own genitals, Weiner replied: You know, I cant say with certitude.
So the hacker not only got into Weiners Twitter account but also into his pants? Or, Weiner has a whole collection of lewd photographs of himself, but he cant be sure the private parts in this particular photo are his own?
Adding another element of suspicion, Weiner said he would not ask federal authorities to investigate, choosing instead to hire a private security firm. Im not sure I want to put national, federal resources into trying to figure out who posted a picture, he reasoned. Im not really sure it rises no pun intended to that level.
It should not have risen beyond minor amusement. But Weiners handling of the situation, a textbook case of bad PR, swelled it into a summer scandal.

I hope this controversy costs this arrogant little prick his job. He deserves that as much as any.
When a libtard lunatic like Milbank turns on ya, you’ve got problems
“swelled it”
“heh heh, he said swelled”
signed, Beavis
That is not the wurst pun I have heard about Weiner.
Nothing more fun that watching rats desert a sinking ship.
You gotta love all the double entendre’s in the article.
He doesn’t seem to have many defenders, and the few out there are being called out for it by the other libs.
I’m really glad that Rep. Weiner only “beat” a “hasty retweet.” Anything else and we’d be here for a week with more jokes.
I’m glad that he is handling this situation with class and I know that he is hoping that his predicament will soon come to an end.
We’ll all relish that.
us elderly ladies want to know!
Any pics of the arousing event?
(sort of, kind of, kidding... after all the the ganders get all the sauce around here, what about us lowly geese?)
“Rep. Anthony Weiner.....a fight he does not RELISH.”
Yeah tell me that wrd wasn’t used on purpose.

...arrogant little prick.... The jokes keep coming. I liked it when Rush Limbaugh complained that Weiner got the shaft.
Call it the "Michael Jackson Effect" ...never bothered him how weird he appeared...as long as everyone was looking at him.
He's like Chuck U. Schumer...ANYTHING to get in front of those cameras.
I was willing to give Weiner the benefit of the doubt because I thought that even he couldn’t be that stupid. After the weasel-worded, non-denials of today, I have to admit I was wrong. He IS that stupid.
He doesn't want to admit he did it - who would - BUT if he does what he should, if he's innocent, claim a crime has been committed and press an investigation - well, it's a federal crime to falsely report a crime...
The mess couldn't be a more ‘just deserts’ scenario.
