Mr. Skeevy's skivvies (Weinergate)
NY Post ^ | June 2, 2011 | Masthead Editorial

So the man who would be mayor "can't say with certitude" whether or not the world's most famous Twitter crotch shot is of him?

Could Tony Weiner's contempt for the people of New York City be any more, well, certain?

Actually, it looks like this wiener is fully cooked.

Which is fine, because it's now clear that Rep. Anthony Weiner isn't remotely up to the ethical demands of the office he now holds -- let alone those of the New York City mayoralty.

The embattled Brooklyn Democrat wasn't in a deep enough hole yesterday; he had to keep digging -- holding a series of one-on-one interviews with cable-news outlets.

Asked by MSNBC's Luke Russert whether it was in fact his crotch in the photo so famously tweeted to a Seattle community-college student, Weiner said:

"You know, I can't say with certitude. My system was hacked . . . pictures can be dropped in and inserted."

This is true.

But it's equally true that all computer activity leaves easily discoverable shadows. If the tweeted message had been a death threat to the president, say, the Secret Service could have -- and would have -- discovered in a nanosecond whether a hacking had occurred. And there is absolutely no technical reason why the Capitol Police couldn't just as easily get to the bottom of Weiner's alleged "hacking."

All that's missing is the will to do the job -- Weiner's will.

The congressman, said former Mayor Ed Koch yesterday, "could put it all to rest simply by turning over his computer to the Capitol..."

--snip--

He claims he doesn't "want to put national, federal resources into trying to figure out" what happened -- which is ludicrous on its face: Tony Weiner has never seen a taxpayer dime that he didn't lust to spend...

Of course Rep Weiner doesn't need the FBI! He already has his own "dick", (private eye) on the case. It's a shame that he can only repeat the same old "hackneyed" phrases. The poor man has obviously been weaned too early and needs constant stroking.

Seriously, I can't remember him ever giving a direct answer to any question.

In other words, he's the perfect democrat politician and democrat voters love him for his vacuousness, just like them.

Is there no end to perverted New York politicians?

The NYPost And NY Daily News have been competing for who has the funniest headlines. Neither will let it go especially the NY Post.

Well, I guess that slams the door on Weiner.

As the late Clara Peller would say, “Show me the beef”.

When asked about whether he recognized who was in the photo, Rep. Barney Frank said, “It’s him. I’d recognize the little prick any where.”

That’s good enough for me.

I love a Weiner roast, or in this case, a roasted Weiner. In fact, I relish this situation. I hope it gets even Wurst. Weiner deserves anything he gets.

If the image looks like an anteater, Weiner’s off the hook and his claim of being a hacking victim may have credibility. But if it looks like a helmet, he’d better lawyer up.

I can understand Weiner’s frustration. He’s a liberal Democrat. The MSM is supposed to cover this sort of thing up, and smear news sources that won’t. They did it for Clinton, and they’ve totally sold out to Obama’s corruption. As a liberal, this just isn’t supposed to happen.

Based upon the evidence I have seen, this matter can certainly be settled in small claims court.

Terrible, isn't it? Darn that Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, out there disseminating facts and making fun of their betters' weiners. Tell 'em to take a hike, Andrew.
