[SNIP] Gennette was not the only young attractive woman who made it on Rep. Weiner’s select list. More than 45,000 people followed Rep. Anthony Weiner on twitter. He followed only 198. Here are a few of the people Rep. Weiner looked to for his news and entertainment… But mostly entertainment. [SNIP]

No sooner do pundits conclude that sex scandals are largely the domain of the GOP, than Democrat Rep. Anthony Weiner is caught with his -- er, privacy -- down. See CNN video here. Weiner says he was hacked. Now that doesn't mean Weiner didn't send the photo to a 21-year-old Washington state student. It could mean that he sent the photo, then a hacker found it and distributed it to a much wider audience. "The weiner gags never get old, I guess," . . .

Schumer thinks Weiner's innocent, but won't comment on whether he supports investigation Matthew Boyle May 31, 2011 Sen. Chuck Schumer said he doesn’t think his fellow New York Democrat Rep. Anthony Weiner had anything to do with the picture of a man’s erect penis underneath gray boxer-briefs sent from Weiner’s official Twitter account Friday night. “I don’t know the details,” Schumer said, according to the New York Daily News. “But I know him to be a person of integrity and I am virtually certain he had nothing to do with this.” Schumer’s office did not, however, respond to The Daily...

A prank or a possible glimpse of scandal? Liberal Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner tried Tuesday to deflect attention away from a controversy involving a lewd photo briefly posted on his Twitter account, saying the matter was undeserving of further attention. Meanwhile, the conservative blogger who broke the story called for a full investigation of what he called either the hacking of a congressman's account or something Weiner wants to hide. Weiner told reporters he wasn't interested in talking about the issue any more, saying he already issued statements over the Memorial Day weekend after news of the photo of the...

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...

Poll is underneath the girls picture.

Florida Republican Rep. Cliff Stearns is demanding an investigation into cybersecurity issues raised by #Weinergate, saying it is vital to "ensure our national security." Though New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner remains silent on whether or not he'll be seeking an investigation into his claims that his Twitter and Facebook accounts were hacked, leading to his Twitter account's posting of a picture of a man's erect penis underneath gray boxer-briefs, Stearns told The Daily Caller that the imbroglio raises troubling questions that should be looked into by Congress.

Update: This is the most defensive interview with a politician since “I did not sleep with that woman…Ms. Lewinsky!” And we all remember how that turned out. I posted a section of it earlier, but you really have to see the whole clip to appreciate the way Rep. Weiner avoids the questions. He’s positively robotic about it, even refusing to answer questions that he could simply answer with a “No.” Mediaite redeems itself by posting this. Also a big hat tip to Ace which is where I saw it:

Rep Anthony Weiner wants to share me with students! If Twitter doesn't like photos of me, Rep Weiner will find other ways to share me! Even if he must go door-to-door!!
