Anthony Weiner..."I Was Hacked But It's Just A Prank"

New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner’s Twitter account produced a shocking photograph Friday night. In a tweet directed to a Washington State woman, the married congressman linked to a photo of a man in underwear with a visible erection.

Big Government first reported that thecongressman, who is believed to be interested in running for New York City mayor, tweeted the link to his Twitter-connected Yfrog account.

Four minutes after the tweet, Weiner complained that his Tivo had mis-recorded a hockey game.

Weiner then deleted the lewd tweet and wrote, “Tivo shot. FB hacked. Is my blender gonna attack me next? #TheToasterIsVeryLoyal.” There are no indications that the congressman’s Facebook account was tampered with.

The woman who the tweet was directed at deleted her account, and was not originally identified by Big Government. However, the tweet was located independently by other bloggers, who identified the Twitter handle of the woman.

The blog Ironic Surrealism found a second account believed to be the same woman. She is a journalism student at Whatcom Community College in Washington State.

Let me be brief. His shortcomings notwithstanding, Representative Weiner should be considered innocent until proven guilty. It is just too hard to determine who is telling the truth here, so I for one do not want to poke fun of the man, nor prick him unduly until all the cards are on the table. Let lesser men dicker whilst we await the outcome of these investigations, as going off half-cocked doesn't do anyone much good and the man should not be hung without due process.
