— Ace Pretty cocky.
Gingerly, Gingerly: The DC joins me in my "befuddlement" that Ginger Lee got all excited about a DM from Weiner that Weiner claims was just "See AnthonyWeiner.com."
Patterico gives a shout-out on that.
Just doing a little backfilling.

Let me guess...Breitbart hacked Weiner's account and sent his own dick pic to the coed?

Breitbart stole a nuclear weapon from an Eastern European country formerly part of the Soviet bloc with the help of a corrupt general, and threatened to detonate it in a major US city unless Weiner posted a boner shot.

Another thing Weiner lied about?
He told Blitzer he had never seen Yfrog pic service before. But his tweets show he had logged into it to post a Bar Mitzvah pic on Feb. 25th.
Crumbling...

Breitbart is poking holes in Weiners tale. Hard evidence will be thrust into the the increasingly hairy story, creating a sticky situation for Weiner's attempt to save face.
Posted by: Hollowpoint at June 05, 2011 09:54 PM (WRW1S)
The treble hook is set... not even the liberals can contain Weinergate anymore as the Weinergate story is now playing like a dissonant coda on Weiner's Wikipedia page.

Was discussing taxes today with a couple of people and they seem to think it's perfectly fine for guys like timmaaay and charlie not to pay their taxes "if they can get away with it, cause no one wants to pay taxes". They don't see the immorality of their actions or the fact that it's unfair. I said to someone today that I think they are looking to see if your are a republican and then going over your taxes with a fine toothed comb. It seems a lot of my friends' parents are republicans and they are all being hit with "extra taxes" and audits. Haven't heard this from my friends whose parents are dems and some of them are way wealthier than the republican parents.

Hee-hee. Over at Kos, they're counting on Rachel Maddow to buh-LOW this out of the water tomorrow. Breitbart will surely wind up in jail. DVR queued! (Not Tivo -- it eats hockey games.)

Will Weiner come clean, or will he be buried in a stream of accusations thrust against him?
Even a one-eyed observer must have throbbing questions after Weiner's attempts to massage the story with limp excuses. Breitbart to unleash hard evidence that could help to exploit an opening for the GOP and possibly result in a happy ending for his competetors in the NYC mayoral campaign.

1) It's true. If so, this is a seriously f-ed up family, and these people's awesome parenting skills have produced a high school student who thinks that exchanging sexually charged tweets WITH A MARRIED PERSON IN LINE FOR THE PRESIDENCY is just marvelous.
2) It's false. If so, Weiner's people wrote it for them, which means the coverup/PR spinning is in truly high gear... which means there's a shitload to hide.

Maybe Breitbart has a Deep Throat figure in the Weiner case.

Ace, et al
Check out the story up over at Doug Ross Journal. Apparently Weasel Zippers is reporting TweetCongress.org captures congressional tweets and captured Weiners tweets inclusive of the one containing the errarnt photo. And this is important because Tweet Congress.org shows that all of Congressman Weiner's tweets during the subject timeline were transmitted using TweetDeck - an Adobe Desktop application that links social sites.

"Weiner is a friend of actor Ben Affleck, whom he met while Affleck was researching this role for the film State of Play, in 2008. "We got into a chest-to-chest shouting match over Obama–Clinton within about four minutes. Literally, people were outside the office wondering if they should go in and separate us," Weiner has said about one of their first encounters."
"Additionally, at the time of the report, about half of Congressman WeinerÂ’s staff had been in his employ for less than a year and since early 2007, he had gone through three chiefs of staff."

Unfortunately it's not available on CD. All the B-sides and rarities from that compilation have been folded into the reissues of the respective albums from that era. But FUCK YES you're correct. "Clean Money," "Big Tears," "Hoover Factory," "Tiny Steps," "(I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea" (which was an album track and major single off of This Year's Model in the UK), and the slow ballady version of "Clowntime Is Over" are all incredible.

Except that he knows the core of the Democratic activists will stick with him through ANY conduct scandal, as long as he keeps them mollified with policy. In that respect they are alike, and could survive with their implausible denials. By the time they are forced to admit they are lying, their base will proclaim it "old news" and unworthy of remark.
Their constituents just don't care, so why should they?

It is impossible to shame Democrats for all the same reason that it is impossible to shame the Devil; things without souls can't be shamed.
Ted Kennedy actually killed someone and he stayed in office. Do you think the fact that some Weenie got caught with his pants down is going to run him out of town?
No number of pictures of Demoncrats in their Underoos would ever chase any of them out of power. Only if Weiner is convicted of felonies is he in any actual difficulty. The best that can be hoped for is that Weinergate will eliminate him as a future presidential candidate. Considering who we currently have as president - even that is not a lock.
I can assure you that John Edwards is plotting his course for getting back into the political scene even as we write here. "OK cheating on dying wife looses me some votes - but my smile and good looks win those back. We'll need to work around the whole convicted felon angle but..."
