As the world has attempted to make sense of Rep. Anthony Weiner’s claim that his Twitter account was hacked, a key clue has been missing: exactly how the notorious groin pic was posted online.
But according to data provided exclusively to The Daily from TweetCongress.org, a nonprofit website that captures each member of Congress’s Twitter feeds in real time, the shot seen round the world was transmitted using TweetDeck — a popular Adobe desktop application that links up with social networking sites. A review of Weiner’s Twitter stream from May 27, the day of the crotch pic, shows that Weiner had been posting only from TweetDeck — one of many ways to post messages to Twitter — that entire night.
Chet Wisniewski, a senior security adviser at security software company SophosLabs, said the TweetDeck stamp “does make it more plausible that it did come from him.”
Weiner used TweetDeck frequently, but he often also posted from the Web directly or from his BlackBerry. A widely circulated explanation for how Weiner’s Twitter account could have been hacked by email would also seem to be incompatible with the fact that the message in question originated on TweetDeck. If email had been used, the message probably would have originated via the photosharing site Yfrog, where the infamous picture was posted.
However, this information doesn’t rule out the possibility that the congressman’s Twitter account was infiltrated — as Weiner has publicly suggested. But experts say it adds another hurdle for an alibi that has come under increasing fire. ..............

Obviously, there is a vas deferens between Mr. Weiner’s statements and the truth.
You sir just won the entire internet!
Unfortunately Obama has a special tax just for you ;)
THAT is a CLASSIC statement - LOL !!!
I wonder what Hum-a Weiner [his wife] feels about her name now ...
Nice!
Man, the jokes just write themselves these days, don’t they? I don’t think I’ve laughed so much over a Congress’Rat!
Did anyone ever consider that maybe it actually wasn’t a crotch shot? Maybe he had his briefs on backwards and was laying a loaf. It’s possible!
A worthy addition to the Weinergate Joke Book.
Dropping the kids off at the pool?
Even so, the perv should have done the honorable thing and resigned at the first hint of scandal. The problem is, as we've come to realize over the years, our political class is completely without shame or morals. They simply don't see their corruption as wrong. Let me quote someone who said it better than most......
"A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is all right. This is common sense, really. You understand sleep when you are awake, not while you are sleeping. You can see mistakes in arithmetic when your mind is working properly: while you are making them you cannot see them. You can understand the nature of drunkenness when you are sober, not when you are drunk. Good people know about both good and evil: bad people do not know about either." ---C.S.Lewis, Mere Christianity, p93

Cthulhu Weiner Roaster
If Weiner had been more forthright with his [non]-answers, he would not be facing such scrutiny.
Instead of saying, "I cannot say with certitude" in respnse to whether the pic was of himself, he might have said, "I don't know if that is me - but I have taken a similar pic b4"
I’ll be so happy if this weiner gets bounced from congress. What kind of idiots send this clown to Washington?
I checked out his educational background and he has a B.A. in political science ... whoopie big deal ....
His first job out of college was working for then congressman chuck “the schmuck” Schumer. In other words, this half-pint theatrical assclown has never even held a real job.
Priceless. Thanks for the laugh.
The dems sure want him gone.
He was drinking and posted it. Plain and simple. Nothing will come of this because he’s a ‘rat.
