— Ace Baby steps, baby steps.
Many people were off all weekend and aren't up to speed on this. We'll catch them up.
This is an especially propitious weekend to get "hacked," since it requires we keep the story percolating for a well-nigh eternal 72 hours, waiting for official DC to come back to work. Gee, those Hack3rz were all nice n' stuff yet again.
So it's no big deal if the establishment voices come late to the party; in fact, it probably works out better, as we'll need them to pick up the baton tomorrow through Tuesday.

" ... as we'll need them to pick up the baton run with the established narrative tomorrow ..."
The baton in question seems a bit small, and easily dropped ...

Either it was a hacker , or it was a weiner.
Why dont weiner want to hunt down the dirty hacker?

That was my first thought as well. Good writers know how to successfully get a message out while simultaneously affecting another person's voice (see, for example, Average Joe's various punkings of Ace in recent days). Cordova's statement reeks of having been written either by a Weiner staffer (or quite possibly Weiner himself -- he's exactly the sort of guy who would refuse to outsource such a thing, and while he may lack judgment he is a very, very smart dude).

A young woman was sent a direct message-photo from Anthony WeinerÂ’s twitter account of a bulging Oscar Meyer [Blank] in a state of preparedness under a pair of briefs.

Anyone reading this of the Class of '02 - even those of us who, like me, suck at blogging / commenting / life - can you go through your own archives,and compare your own cites of Steyn, Frum, Sullivan and the other then-neocons, against your own cites of JPod?
JPod thinks that if you're not published in his magazine, then you're worthless. The aim here is to figure out if you, yourself, have published JPod.
I'm guessing the answer to that is "no".

Ace,
I know some people are bitching about you focusing solely on this, but let them bitch.
This needs to be carried through until tuesday when the MSM shows up to work promptly at Noon.
Weiner is an up and comer in the Dem party. Not only is this story big, if true, but it could easily derail his bid to become Mayor of NYC, possible result in his resignation, or at the very least insure that he never moves above his current station in the house.
Also, divorce, mockery, and all that other fun stuff.
Stick with it. And could you get John "The White Knight" Podoretz's permission to post your email exhange with him. I want to see what that cock blaster said.
Posted by: Ben at May 29, 2011 06:48 PM (DKV43)
And why did the hackers bother sending a dick-pic covered up by the grey jockies? Why not grab some member off some porn site and use that? Or if they wanted to make a joke that Tony the Dick doesn't measure up, get some teenie weenie wiener pic from somewhere (maybe their own).

What they're trying to do is go after Weiner's Twitter "stalker".
They're hoping he's an unsavory character and hope to turn the tables on him.
Since this dam is going to burst anyway, look for the media to start airing "cyberstalker" stories.
They won't even try the prosecution route, what they'll attempt to do is make it a story about some guy watching Congressmen's Twitter feeds (quelle horreur!).
Shouldn't a Congressman married less than two years have the right to send pictures of his junk to a 21-year-old 3000 miles away in peace?
What's next? Somebody will complain about presidents who get hummers from interns in the Oval Office?

Remember, because they're L337 haxx3r5. That would've made the hacking too obvious. They know exactly how far to push the envelope without going too far. An uncovered, 9" schlong would've obviously been fake, and just a bulge under trousers would've been too benign (except for David Brooks). They hit the perfect middle... because they're L337.
Damn them. They're unfathomably clever except when they don't need to be and can afford to do something stupid.

Ben, Jpod and I had a friendly conversation. I took it off public because that tends to force a confrontational posture.
I have explained the stuff he missed. (He was off, like most people.)
Good to hear it, because the way he was acting on twitter suggested otherwise.
Posted by: Ben at May 29, 2011 07:04 PM (DKV43)
I think this is what happened. Tony the Dick found himself with a groupie, this Comely Coed with the massive mammaries, and he started a little "DM" exchange with her the night in question. She probably sent him some provacative pictures of herself, maybe showing him her assets. And then he responds with a little picture showing what effect her pictures had on him.
I'll bet you they had a little "DM" dialogue like that going and Tony the Dick manages to fat finger it public, rather than private.
One would like to think Congresscritters have more than sense than this, but the evidence is overwhelmingly to the contrary. Tony was thinking with his little head, not the big one, although both are weiners.

That is the funneh part. Weiner did a Reply All with a NSFW picture. And instead of being a man and saying 'whoops, accident!' he goes with option Z, "I wuz hacked!' Isn't there a commercial about a guy snagging everyone's computers because he thought he had hit Reply All??

Germans don't use the term 'hamburger' but call it a burger in American-style fast food places / restaurants.

From what I've read, Weiner is a bit of a liberal icon. He's considered to be witty, intelligent, a fighter, and someone with potential outside of Congress. Pelosi has long let him run his mouth without reprimanding him, as far as I can tell. What's she going to do now?
/I'll give him bombastic and scrappy and that's it.

Ace, check out Gawker's spin on this. The excogitations Gawker embeds within it's piece on Weiner backfill where the gaps are aplenty in Weiner's tweeting foray. The MSM is now circling the wagons around the following buzz words: Harassment, Harassment, Harassment.
However, guess what? Suggesting harassment further supports the need for a complete federal investigation into this.

Fellows, don't at least some of you think this is all beginning to sound just a wee bit like those folks who think the CIA killed Kennedy and that Bush brought down the towers?>>>>>>>
No, what it sounds like is a Congressman sent a lewd pic to a college chick, screwed up the delivery of the pic, got caught, and then claimed his account was hacked to cover his ass. If his account was hacked, the FBI would need about an hour (including a coffee break) to find out who did it. Hacking anything belonging to a member of Congress is serious stuff. I do believe it's a felony. But, no one got hacked. Weiner made a mistake, he got caught, and he should own up to it. Instead, he lied, and he and this chick are blaming 'enemies'. And, trolling AOSHQ and making light of it isn't going to change anyone's mind.

No, it's simply a case of askng questions ... so, why isn't Congressman Tony "THE GENTLEMAN WILL SIT DOWN!!!!!" Weiner screaming blue murder about being hacked? And in a way that could end his political career?
Weiner seems like someone who defends his rights zealously ... but not this time ... why?
Tony seems real uninterested in getting the FBI involved in a hacking incident ... n incident that, on the face of it, is at least as bad as someone posing as a telephone repairman ......
Perhaps V, you have Weiner's explanation?

That is why I think we need to get the Speaker to direct the Capitol Police and Sgt At Arms to look into the matter.
If there is a hacking, then they can take care of it since they are in charge of protection for Congressmen.
If Weiner is lying, well, then I think that is a matter for the ethics committee.
Either way, all of the details become part of the public record.

The most unbelievable thing about that is who in the hell is going to harrass a self proclaimed liberal from fucking Bellingham because she follows some liberal congressman on twitter? I mean maybe an ex boyfriend or stalker or both. If that happened I would assume she is contacting the cops.

Ace. Keep this in motion. They're trying to close down momentum by bringing in the "right wing" meme that there was a certain conservative individual who had, "seen this coming" and that this and possibly "other" individuals harassed the poor co-ed on previous occassions.
This is a red herring as it speaks nothing of the tweet emanating from Rep. Weiner's account and the seamless timeline and the fact the co-ed had referenced Rep. Weiner and they were both DM capable on Twitter.
The most salient question is this: "Rep. Weiner do you affirmatively deny transmitting the subject photo on Twitter." "Rep. Weiner, have you ever sent the subject co-ed a direct message on twitter? And if so, how many and why?"
Ace, don't let this thing go.

Weiner isn't going to resign over this, and the House will stonewall any inquiry forever. No chance he's quitting. I believe he wants to be the next Mayor of NYC, and that ain't gonna happen if he resigns from Congress because he admits to sending dic-pics to Chesty McCo-Ed in Seattle. He's staying. Unless the hacking thing is investigated. That's a serious charge which, so far, he's not pursuing. That's like saying 'someone broke into my house and beat and robbed me', and then not calling the cops. Weird.

I completely agree with you. My point was more about who gets to decide these things. As I said above, if Rangel and Frank are still members of the House, Weiner isn't going anywhere. He's seemingly valuable to the Democrats and having him resign right now changes the conversation from Mediscare. The Dems don't want this distraction, so they'll react like they normally do and make excuses while stating that we need to talk about the "real issues".

Weiner, who represents parts of Queens and Brooklyn, got a message about a week ago from Facebook alerting him that his password might have been tampered with, Arnold said.
......
Now hum. If true, wouldn't he have have shut it down?
Seeing that he is a big fucking deal, you'd think his FB privacy would have been upscaled right?! That the FBI would already be studying his FB, etc looking for any traces of an attack in progress seeing that he is so involved in cyber crime legislation!!

I'm soooo waiting for the Meta Data from the pic to be released... someone who was on the origional tweet will have it in their cache... then stand by... it gets ugly(er).

Not a chance they do that. Look at what they allowed Rangel to get away with. I think if Captain Schlong and the co-ed had just kept their foots out of their mouth, the MSM would never let this see the light of day. Even in spite of Ace's Schwantz Offensive.

Weiner, who represents parts of Queens and Brooklyn, got a message about a week ago from Facebook alerting him that his password might have been tampered with, Arnold said.
......
Now hum. If true, wouldn't he have have shut it down?
Seeing that he is a big fucking deal, you'd think his FB privacy would have been upscaled right?! That the FBI would already be studying his FB, etc looking for any traces of an attack in progress seeing that he is so involved in cyber crime legislation!!

They won't. Boehner did it with Chris Lee and some others when he was Minority Leader, though (back before the shirtless pic). The differences between the two parties when it comes to this type of thing disgusts me.

Hey Clueless, we still get to see Ace's side. So there are drams of truth to still be had.

That's even worse. When Ace tweets something like that's a very very very hard puzzle to figure out and might have a cool new theory, I want to know what the hell he's talking about!
Posted by: Clueless at May 29, 2011 09:32 PM (piMMO)
arhooley is correct.
the additinal meme Gawk and others are trying to establish is linkage between the self-generated "harassment" meme and Breitbart.
Ace has written a bunch over the dems and their attempts to short-circuit legitimate stories by drawing everything to those darn, "right wing conspirators."
Aint' gonna work here though. The more they attempt to meme this away, the closer it will come to a full scale investigation.

Weiner won't get the full ire of the House over one picture. However, I don't believe that this is the first time he pulled something like this. No proof, of course, just a hunch. I have a feeling he's done this before, probably with the porn star he was DMing. And, maybe with others. Now, if THAT can be proven, then we have a member of congress who's a serial....something. Perv? Then, maybe the House will pay attention and deal with him.

Friday evening I logged onto Twitter to find that I had a dozen new mentions in less than an hour. When I checked one of the posts I had been tagged in I saw that it was a picture that had supposedly been tweeted to me by Congressman Anthony Weiner. The account that these tweets were sent from was familiar to me; this person had harassed me many times after the Congressman followed me on Twitter a month ago. Since I had dealt with this person and his cohorts before I assumed that the tweet and the picture were their latest attempts at defaming the Congressman and harassing his supporters.
I began taking steps to remove as much personal information from the Internet as possible. Not because I "was exposed as Weiner's mistress." I removed my information because I do not enjoy being harassed or being the reason that my loved ones are targets of harassment. I have never met Congressman Weiner, though I am a fan. I tweeted once that "I wonder what my boyfriend @RepWeiner is up to." I am not his girlfriend. Nor am I the wife, girlfriend or mistress of Barack Obama, Ray Allen or Cristiano Ronaldo, despite the fact that I have made similar assertions about them via Twitter."

Oh well it's over then. Thanks for clearing that up Brian. Except that the pic wasn't supposedley sent to this chick it was sent to her. That Weiner following this chick on twitter is absolutely easy to understand as well. I mean hey he followed 90 other people. Why not someone he had never talked to that lives 3,000 miles away? Makes sense, he follows her because she is a light worker, like Obama . All of that energy trapped in Bellingham, WA waiting to save the fucking world.
Posted by: robtr at May 29, 2011 09:43 PM (MtwBb)
As a few noted, liberals want the FBI to eyeball Breitbart. A full-on subpoena of all the relevant hard drives and twitter and yfrog records. Failing that, they want Weiner to sue Breitbart for libel. Incidentally, they also think Shirley Sherrod is suing him, but at best she'll wind up apologizing to Breitbart and turning her ire on Glenn Beck. Their anger at Breitbart is so great now, I don't see how Weiner ignore the torch-carrying mob outside his castle gates without putting himself in a bad spot.
Let them learn well the saying, "Be careful what you wish for."

336The girl gave an interview to her school newspaper. I'm really thinking this was a hack and we've been had.
Oh, please. That interview shows she's 1). lying, or 2). a complete idiot. She was harassed on twitter 'many times'? She's a dope. Use the block feature after the first incident, then the harassing stops. Same with Facebook. In fact, Facebook profiles can be (and usually are) private to everyone except friends. So, a harasser wouldn't know who her friends are because they can't access her page to find out who they are, because it's private. Finally, if this was a hack, great! Weiner should involve the FBI ASAP and have them find out who hacked the twitter and Facebook account of a U.S. Congressman. We'd all love to know the answer. Ace has been working on that for 24 hours. We've only been had if the hacker story stays but no investigation is made.

If someone on Twitter "harasses" you, you block the account. Nothing could be simpler. Since she wrote about Twitter before, she was obviously no rookie in in use.
