LOL

When I first heard this I thought it was a joke. Could there ever be a more appropriate last name for this nutjob? LOL This sounds like what a 14 year-old boy would do and not a 46 year-old Congressman. But most Dems act like 14 year-olds anyway.

I can't wait until the SNL skits on this one!

First off, he's a Democrat and we all know there's a double-standard on how Democrat sex scandals are handled as opposed to Republican sex scandals.

Rep. Anthony Weiner Struggles to Explain Origin of Lewd Twitter Photo

Published June 02, 2011
| FoxNews.com

Rep. Anthony Weiner struggled to explain how a picture of somebody's bulging underwear briefly appeared on his Twitter account, claiming in a back-to-back string of interviews that he was clearly hacked -- but hinting the photograph could have been an image of him.

"I have photographs. I don't know what photographs are out there in the world of me," he said in one cable news interview, asked whether he'd ever snapped a photo like that of himself.

In another interview, Weiner acknowledged "it could be" the case that one of his private photos spilled onto the Internet. Or, he said, one could have been manipulated or pulled in from "somewhere else."

Talking briefly to reporters outside his office Thursday morning, the congressman made clear he was not interested in sitting down for more questions.

"I made it very clear I did not send that picture, that my Twitter account had been hacked, and the prank apparently has been successful. But after hours, almost 11 hours of answering questions ... today, I'm going to have to get back to work," Weiner said.
