Maybe, just maybe, that is a picture of one of his pages.
If that were the case, he wouldn't have exposed himself with the truly epically stupid comment that he "couldn't say with certitude" that it wasn't his crotch shot.
Exactly. And that is what makes it less and less plausible that his 'account was hacked'. But his name DOES lend plausibility to it being a prank.
Nevertheless, if his account was hacked for the purpose of embarrassing or compromising him, he should be bringing his full congressional authority to investigate it into play here.
The fact that he has not brings us back to the Occam's Razor most likely conclusion that he tweeted his crotch to the young lady and inadvertently posted it publically instead of sending it privately.
I am sooo behind the curve on this one. Been out of town for a while. How do you twitter a dick picture?
It might or not be more important in the grand scheme of things. But the fact that it is a U.S. Congressman posting as a U.S. Congresman that makes that account property of the people of the United States. If your account is hacked and an embarrassing photo is posted you and perhaps those closest to you will be angry and embarrassed. But no harm is done outside of your social and perhaps professional circles.
When a U.S. Congressman's account is compromised it can be far more serious as it can affect pending legislation, foreign relations, or upcoming elections. Nobody should be able to be attacked, embarrassed, and/or destroyed with impunity; but most especially a high level official should not be attacked as it could be specifically to influence political outcomes.
Don't take this wrong but poppycock!
His account is no more important than mine. He's no more important than me.
Then again, convincing him of that might be a little difficult, but that just makes him arrogant.
Immie
You can call it poppycock if you wish.
Homeland Security takes it a whole lot more seriously than you do.
And I think if it was somebody you admired who was sabotaged for the purpose of ruining his election chances or to derail some important initiative, you wouldn't be so cavalier about it either.
It still begs the question, if by chance, you get the bizarre idea of taking a picture of yourself, sporting wood in your underwear, and sending it to some girl... doesn't simultaneously, another thought pop in that says... "hey, psycho, YOU'RE A FUCKING CONGRESSMAN!"???

I find myself woefully short on stupid, tweeting or congressional experience. Sorry. I do recognize stupid when I hear about it. Maybe Weiner should get a Mike Tyson tatoo?
Am I following the logic here accurately?
Anybody can do ANYTHING as long as they aren't a hypocrite about it?
If I am for adultery or racism or sexism or lying under oath, then I am okay if I do those things?
But if I am on the record that I oppose those things, I am scum if I do them?
Is that the argument here?

Regrettably, by a few here, yes.
To give a good example:
In David Vitter's case, there really wasn't that much of a story on the hypocrisy, as Vitter was not a champion of anti-prostitution.
Of course, soliciting prostitution is a semi-serious crime, so there was that...
But Vitter's case didn't get nearly the coverage of Craig.
Sort of like Jimmy Swaggart's scandal. If he had not been a hell fire and brimstone TV Evangelist no one would have known about his escapades.

Nice theory if it was really true.
Just look at Edwards, Kennedy, Studd, Frank, to see the Left and MSM holds themselves to lower standards.
What since Frank is for gay marriage, someone can run a prostitution ring out of his house and it is OK?
How about the Rev Jackson and his "love child"? Then again, Jackson may be a Rev of a religion where they preach adultery ....
As for Weiner, he pushed for bills to "fight" sexual harassment on college campuses...sort of hypocritical and ironic
How about being faithful to one's marriage vows? Such behaviour makes one a hypocrite.
If a politician's own spouse can't trust them- why should we?
The left's excuse on why they hold themselves to lower standards tends to be disingenuous and poor cover for an excuse.
The hypocrisy is more universal in nature and applies to ALL politicians.
They all try to pass laws to make us behave in their moral sense of the world.
Therefore, when they act immorally, they should be held to higher standard
There should be a line up to identify the dick....Coach Beulah Balbricker will be the Judge...

Porky's.. OMG.
Liberal Media outlets like CNN,NBC,and the NY Times will cover for Weiner but that doesn't mean he'll get away with it. They covered for Edwards too but the truth eventually came out. Weiner will still probably be busted in the end. His "Hacker" story is complete Bullshit. Anyone with common sense knows this. He'll get busted eventually. Bet on it.
