Weiner won't address convention in Milwaukee
By Tom Tolan of the Journal Sentinel

Updated: June 3, 2011 12:06 p.m. |(79) Comments

U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) has canceled his speaking appearance at the state Democratic Convention on Friday night in Milwaukee.

Graeme Zielinski, party spokesman, confirmed the cancellation and said the decision was Weiner's, and that the party's invitation to him was still good.

"It's understandable, considering what's going on," Zielinski added.

Weiner, an outspoken liberal voice in Congress, has been in the midst of a controversy over a photo of a male crotch in underpants sent to a female Twitter follower of his.

Weiner has denied sending the photo and says his Twitter account was hacked, but he has not denied the photo might be of him. The story has occupied much of the political world for the past few days.

Weiner was to be one of the main speakers at the convention, which starts today at the Frontier Airlines Center. Another main speaker: Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), chair of the Democratic National Committee.

Zielinski said Weiner "opted to stay in New York . .. with his family," and added, "We're looking forward to a visit in the future" from Weiner.

All of this weiner talk reminds me of my favorite Drew Carey segment:

Drew Carey Strip Show:

"We've got Velcro"
"You guys got Velco?"

I laughed my ass off when I saw this the first time. It still makes me laugh.

What's going on?

He ran off the hacker within minutes, secured the 3 or more web sites violated, deleted loads of digital information and decided there was no crime to report ...going off what he has told us.

On Fox News, one of the guests just said the Weiner thing is just silly.

Now, has anyone noticed the pretty young girls on Fox offering opinions? They have some pretty young women offering a more conservative message too.

Now, what if Boehner contacted one of those pretty young things and struck up an Internet relaltionship and then started sending her pictures of his Penis?

You wouldn't find a person in the country saying it was Silly. The guy from NY-26 took a picture of himself in long pants with No Shirt - and no one referred to it as Silly.

1. Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) was very active on twitter on Friday, awaiting a financial disclosure from Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, a disclosure that Weiner intended to turn into a political attack on Thomas.

2. Weiner’s twitter feed goes silent for about 3 hours, 24 minutes Friday afternoon/evening, a time during which he is allegedly watching a hockey game. (Weiner’s spokesman later claimed that he had been tweeting about the hockey game during that time, a claim that has turned out to be false.)

3. Before Weiner’s public twitter feed went silent, he sent out the following tweet:

Heading to 30 Rock to chat with Rachel at 9. #Thats545InSeattleIThink
about 17 hours ago via TweetDeck

Some MSM accounts of the scandal, including the NYT, have omitted this tweet. It’s relevant because the recipient of the lewd photo lives in Seattle Bellingham, WA (same time zone as Seattle, and Seattle is where Cordova identified herself as being from in her original twitter feed). Weiner is a New York Democrat. Why did he tweet out a time hack to Seattle about a television appearance of his? For whom was this tweet intended?

TweetDeck may also be a useful clue, in that TweetDeck allows users to monitor multiple twitter streams, including their own and any mentions of themselves, public messages and private messages, at the same time. According to the tweet above, Weiner was using TweetDeck on Friday; he could have been managing his public tweets and mentions of himself in two columns while managing any number of private message conversations in other columns. He could also have quickly seen any tweets that he intended to send as private messages appear in his public stream, and any mentions of those tweets by others as well.

4. After a public silence of 3 hrs, 24 mins, Weiner’s twitter account sends out the following public tweet:

@RepWeiner @(name redacted) http://yfrog.com/h25m3luj 13 hours, 59 minutes ago reply

This is the tweet with the lewd photo. No mention of TweetDeck, so it may have come from a cell phone with a camera that also tweets natively. The tweet went to the 21-year-old college student in Seattle, but not as a direct message (which is private). It went out on Weiner’s public twitter feed and remained there for about four minutes before it was removed, presumably by Weiner. One letter swap — a d in place of the second @ symbol — would have made the tweet a private direct message from Weiner to Cordova. (If Weiner took the photo and tweeted it to her and he happens to have had his computer running TweetDeck nearby, he could have accidentally sent the tweet publicly from his phone, and in a few minutes’ time seen it show up in his public feed, with mentions accompanying it).

5. Friday night, 3 hrs 28 minutes after his last public tweet, Weiner begins an hour of tweets saying that his facebook account had been hacked, that his DVR had malfunctioned while recording a hockey game, and speculating that his blender might attack him next. His facebook and twitter accounts are not linked.

6. After the tweets in step five, which spanned about an hour, Weiner tweets that his twitter feed had also been hacked, and salutes “Mr. Moriarty” for getting one over on him (Mr. Moriarty is the nemesis of Sherlock Holmes). Here, the recently married Weiner is apparently saluting the person who he claims hacked his twitter feed and sent a lewd photo to a young woman in Seattle in Weiner’s name on his public twitter feed. Both hacking and impersonating a congressman are criminal acts. Weiner makes no mention of referring the hacking or the impersonation of himself to any authorities, and as of this writing, no such referral appears to have been made. Most people do not report hacks of their personal online accounts to the police, but Weiner is a public figure and in this case the hacking, if it occurred, has allowed a person or persons unknown to impersonate a federal official in a way that threatens his reputation and his marriage, making it a more serious matter than your usual run-of-the-mill hacking of a personal twitter account.

7. The recipient of the lewd photo, Gennette Cordova, issued a statement about the incident on Sunday, denying any “inappropriate” direct messages between herself and Weiner, and denying being in a relationship with him. Some media took her statement to be an accusation against another twitter user as being the person who hacked Weiner’s twitter account and posted the photo. She has denied making that allegation. Her statement does not address several critical facts, including how it came to be that she and Weiner mutually followed each other. She also does not explain the tweet in step 8; she merely denies an allegation the she tweeted it twice. She denies having ever met Weiner in person, though no one has alleged that they have ever met in person. She also denies having ever visited New York or Washington, DC, though no one has alleged otherwise.

8. Cordova did, however, tweet “I wonder what my boyfriend @RepWeiner is up to,” on April 9, 2011. It is an open question whether she considers such a tweet about a recently married public figure to be appropriate or not.

9. Weiner has also direct messaged a porn star on twitter, according to the porn star. Weiner thus far has not denied her claim.

How did Cordova become one of the only 91 people Weiner followed? Neither has said. It could be something as innocent as she, a journalism student and by her own admission a “fan” of Weiner’s, followed his twitter feed and he, seeing an email notification of her following him, decided to follow her. But if that’s the case, then why, out of the 45,000+ followers he had, did he choose to follow her specifically?

With his “Mr. Moriarty” tweet, Rep. Weiner put himself in the role of Sherlock Holmes. That being the case, surely Weiner realizes that Holmes would want to question both of the people at the center of this mystery, about a great number of things.

I can't resist . . . I saw a rumor was going around that Weiner is planning on running for President in 2016 and the Attorney General will be his running mate. It will be the Weiner/Holder ticket! :uhoh:

Michelle points out that Weiner has used Yfrog to tweet pic's SEVEN times, while claiming he did not know what Yfrog was. I thought he had claimed he'd been hacked there also, but I guess it was just Facebook and Twitter he had claimed.

She has a good write up on it, especially if you visit the links provided.

Time Magazine picked Weiner as one of the most techno-advanced people - one of 100 or something - and praised him for his ability to Tweet (on Twitter) and they explicitly stated he was adept at uploading Pictures.

March 2011 - I'm 90% on the Month, but it was Time Magazine.

Adept at uploading Photos - right there in a National Publication.

The closest thing I could find to that was about "feeds", meaning what topic was the hottest.

It included;
"He's also able to upload pictures, demonstrates actual understanding of hashtags"

He's painted himself into a corner, running out of lies to cover the previous lies.

"He decided to spend the weekend with his wife," said state chair Mike Tate

How really big of him. That's exactly what Johnny Reid Edwards would have done to mitigate the lies and deceptions that have taken place this week. I suggest his Muslim wife whose roots are in Saudi Arabia call on her Sharia background to take care of this creep.
