— Ace GLOW, the Gorgeous Ladies of Weiner.
He was following a lot of cute young things. Some of whom (and not just the Comely Coed) had announced crushes on him. Like the porn actress, for instance. Who got a DM from him. And said she was physically attracted to him.
Suspicious? Yes of course, and this is the thing: Because that sort of mixing between men and women who could be attracted to each other is a suspicious, and dangerous, proposition, most people try to avoid that sort of thing.
And when they don't avoid it? Bad things tend to happen, because people don't really think very much once the sex drive engages and basically takes over the entire brain.
@Stranahan interviews a girl (his daughter?) on the swirling controversy of whether she took the cookies.
Um: I had added Jon Stewart because I had heard he gave a shout-out to blogs staying on the story. Um, yeah: to Gawker, to Daily Kos, etc., for disproving the story. Ahem.
And the one blogger he slammed for speculating -- Andrew Breitbart -- gee, just happened to be right. Though Breitbart wasn't speculating. He was noting the fact that Weiner was following a lot of young, cute girls who had nothing much to do with politics.
So I took down the link. Not worth it. He talked around the story, implied Weiner was innocent, and congratulated Gawker and Daily Kos on their tip-top journalism.

I think it is fairly certain that what we have here is a case of a self-inflicted Weiner.
Yeah, it's always fun to watch some arrogant Dem step on his dick.

Major Garrett says it looks like he did it.
Mitchell said Weiner would be on at 1PM, and then said it was only a joke.
White House moved press briefing up to 12:30 PM, apparently believing Mitchell.

I'm pleasantly surprised that Stewart went as far as he did, even if he left a LOT of low hanging fruit unplucked. I suspect that this is as much as we can expect out of him, though.

What is wee wee'd Weiner's party symbol? Oh, that's right. Anyone else see a resemblance? After he gets flushed down the bad memory hole, I will remember him as the dinky donkey.
Posted by: Snuke Snark at June 01, 2011 07:26 AM (FweJ7)
The best issue to hammer Wiener and the Dems generally is the security angle. I think it was Ace who pointed this out - if he sends stuff like this (and normally does not screw up and sends it as a direct message), Twitter has all sorts of dirt on him. What kind of leverage does that open a sitting member of Congress to? If it was a hack, as he claims, what sort of potential leverage could be had against ANY member of Congress if this kind of hack attack can happen?
This should be investigated by the FBI for national security purposes, and if a hack it needs to be pursued aggressively. And if not a hack, the story needs to shift to how Wiener is a liability due to his on-line antics. And a morally depraved individual that his constituents SHOULD have a problem with as their representative.

The main joke of the Daily Show piece was Stewart saying the dic-pic can't be Weiner because Stewart refuses to believe his friend Weiner could possibly have such a monster cock.
Seems like they are trying to turn Weiner into the next Tommy Lee.
Blah, blah, coed, blah, blah, twitter, blah, blah, Rep. Weiner's GIANT THROBBING COCK, blah, blah, breitbart, blah, blah, blogs, blah, blah.
And can that tactic actually work in our porn-saturated modern world? I'm guessing the avg person is now familiar with what big dicks actually look like. Kinda weird to see simultaneous mini-me dick jokes and giant cock jokes sit side-by-side on the same dic-pic.
We don't seem to have similar eye-of-the-beholder disagreements about breasts. If Hillary tweets a tit-pic I don't imagine we'll see dueling "flat chested" vs "omg mega titties" twitter war.

If he was not a Congressman, but rather an ordinary civilian with a security clearance and this happened his clearance would be, at best, suspended and a full investigation made to determine if he could be susceptible to compromise.

That's the false rationale employed by the MBM to dismiss one half of all sex scandals. Name a Democrat who runs as an open sexual deviant - they couch their debauchery in a thin veil of plausibility and mumbo jumbo about "health" and "gay rights." How many Democrat politicians are married and parade their wives around in support of their campaign? Is that not in the very least a strong public implication that they intend to be in a faithful, sexually monogamous relationship with the wife - that a faithful, monogamous relationship is an aspirational norm? How many times did the Breck Girl invoke his "wonnerful wiaafe 'Lizbeth?" Remember the staging of Camelot 2.0 back in 2004?
Otherwise - if those are "the rules," every time a married Democrat runs for office, the MBM should run a disclaimer that:
"*The candidate's public display of admiration and affection for his or her spouse does not imply love, monogamy or a belief in monogamy and the candidate reserves the right to engage in extramarital sexual relations without public ridicule, report or judgment. The candidate may, without further notice, engage in sexually perverse behavior in violation of accepted societal norms and reserves the right to keep the behavior - including past instances of such behavior - private. The candidate's public expressions of religious belief and/or practice do not imply a belief in the sexual morality promoted by said religion."

But seriously, how much further will this story go? Is CNN discouraged? Are they going to go in for another series of "I'm not answering that"? Anyone else gonna do it? Is someone going to get the Capitol Police or the FBI involved? I know Bill-o promised to have an answer from the FBI by today, but what if it's just "no response"? How about the Congressional investigation on cybersecurity?

All things being equal, Stewart did slam the media pretty hard for not asking the questions that needed to be asked. And this on top of the fact that he indeed stated that he is a friend of the congressman. So there's that.
Also, I've noted that quite a number of other blogs are giving props to ace.

The problem here is, he's changed his story.
It's no longer a hacker, but a prank played by him, suggesting that it's someone he knows that had access to his account attempting to have fun at his expense. That's a huge difference.
He's lying about it, of course, but it's still a big difference. No one investigates pranks, usually.

Well, not really.
First, it's RIM (Research in Motion). Second, depending on the picture, it's IN A POCKET. What kind of pants was the guy wearing where the pocket was completely see-through with a shitty Blackberry camera? The phone would've also had to have been completely sideways in his pocket, which would look really strange with one side of his pants sticking way the hell out.......
I have a Blackberry and the camera SUCKS. There's no way you get a clear picture of ANYTHING without lots of effort.

Weiner thinks he's a cocks-man par excellance, a Weiner-wunder so to speak; that he's God's gift to women.
It pumps up his already overblown sense of self-worth that these women even follow him, let alone speak to him.
