In the video I watched he bragged about something like having more followers than Palin on his account. I questioned then why the news didn't just go with the topic he chose, asking about those he had selected to follow himself. |

"...Anthony Weiner has almost 50,000 fans on the social networking site, but he has chosen to follow just 198 in return - many of whom are attractive young females, and include a porn star, 'Miss Ginger Lee'" Exactly why I wondered why the reporters did NOT go with him on the topic he chose - followers or friends on his account - WHO he had selected to follow himself. It's looking like a male-slut account, one that might even have a few of questionable age. Edited by kbp, Jun 1 2011, 11:52 AM.

My error, Michelle Bachman is the person he claims to have passed with more followers on his account, not Palin. He keeps pointing out a “PERSON” who is trying to distract the agenda, but he leaves out any possible means to determine who “PERSON” may be. He should have just left it as some sort of digital mystery, but now the focus is on “PERSON”. |

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0611/56035.html Weiner ‘can’t say with certitude’ photo isn’t him By: Jennifer Epstein June 1, 2011 01:58 PM EDT Rep. Anthony Weiner says he “can’t say with certitude” that the photo of a man’s crotch sent using his Twitter account isn’t of him. “I didn’t send that picture out,” Weiner says. “That’s not a picture of you?” he is asked by NBC News. Weiner responds: “You know, I can’t say with certitude.” The New York lawmaker continued to claim that his Twitter account was hacked. “My system was hacked, pictures can be manipulated, dropped in and inserted,” he said. “One reason I asked a firm to look at what the heck happened here … is to see maybe something was manipulated, maybe something was dropped in.” “We don’t know for sure what happened here,” Weiner added. “But let’s try to take a step back. This is a circumstance where someone committed a prank on the Internet, spoofed me, made fun of me, whatever. We’re taking it seriously in as much we want to make sure it doesn’t happen again.” The live feed of the interview was cut off because of technical difficulties but MSNBC promises to air it during the 2 p.m. ET hour. |

cer·ti·tude (sûr t -t d , -ty d ). n. 1. The state of being certain; complete assurance; confidence. So all we have to do to find "PERSON" is to figure out who all has pictures of Weiner's woody, then we can be CERTAIN whether or not they used it to "spoof" him ...create a "distraction". Can't wait to see the list of suspects, if they are old enough to have their names published! |

http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/06/01/anthony_weiner_media_scrutiny War Room Wednesday, Jun 1, 2011 13:03 ET Momentum shifts in Weiner crotch shot story Through his odd behavior, the New York congressman manages to convince the press he's hiding something By Justin Elliott Momentum shifts in Weiner crotch shot story (UPDATED BELOW WITH NEW WEINER STATEMENT) We still don't know the origins of the crotch shot sent out from Rep. Anthony Weiner's Twitter account over the weekend -- whether it was the result of a hack or originated with the congressman himself. What's certain right now is that Weiner, through his odd behavior over the last 24 hours, has succeeded in convincing much of the press that there's at least a possibility he was responsible for sending the lewd image to a college student in Washington state. The shift in the seriousness with which the press is treating the story can be chalked up above all to Weiner's painfully awkward press conference yesterday. For a full seven minutes, he repeatedly told reporters he was done commenting on the Twitter story, while unsuccessfully trying to change the subject to Clarence Thomas. But reporters predictably found it odd that Weiner -- whose office has said he was the victim of a hack -- refused to answer several basic questions, including, was that him in the photo? He later refused to answer repeated questions posed by Talking Points Memo's Benjy Sarlin, saying that "after two and a half days of statements that answer these questions that I'm not going to keep drilling into further details and further details, even one ... even the easy questions, even the obvious questions, even the ones I've answered before." (The site is running the story with the headline "Dem Rep. Weiner Refuses To Answer TPM’s Questions On Twitter 'Hack'".) The result of all these refusals? Here's a picture of the scene outside Weiner's office today. Meanwhile, the Capitol Police, the force charged with protecting Congress, has said it is not investigating the Weiner incident. And he has declined to answer questions about whether he has reported the alleged hack to authorities. What Weiner's office has said is that he hired a lawyer to explore "civil or criminal actions" in response to the incident. But the office has not named that lawyer or elaborated on what sort of actions they're considering. One editor at Politico pointed out that Weiner "can't explain why he's not going to law enforcement." Weiner's enemies in New York, where he is (or at least was) widely seen as a future mayoral candidate, are circling. The New York Post's editorial on Weiner today began like this: "What a creep." Politico quotes one of his rivals saying "he’s in deep doo-doo when it comes to future aspirations." It's hard to see how this is going to end -- there are no obvious sources of public information that reporters investigating the matter can tap at this point. Perhaps the media pressure will force Weiner to finally report the "hack" to law enforcement (if he hasn't already), or to come clean and admit responsibility (if he is responsible). Whatever happens, this point from Josh Benson at Capital New York seems right: "[E]ven if the version of events that emerges answers whatever outstanding questions there are about the actual incident, Weiner has now ensured that there will also be questions about his bizarre behavior after the event. UPDATE: At about 1:45 pm ET, new Weiner quotes from an interview with MSNBC's Luke Russert began circulating on Twitter. Key quote: Asked if the picture is of him, Weiner said, "I can't say with certitude." But he also says he did not send out the picture. So Weiner's version of the story is still not entirely clear.

At least some sort of job will be secure for Weiner inside the liberal beltway. When the Gov. of New York is caught with prostitutes, he lands a job as an anchor on CNN. I suppose Weiner will get a spot on Morning Joe or perhaps his own program entitled Breakfast with Weiner. |

He'll be S.O.L. if Democrats working with those hoping to grab his office AND those who wish to run for mayor toss him under the bus. |

The press conference with Dana Bash yesterday was the single worst press conference I have ever seen. Eckstrand talks about Brodhead's moral meltdown (as if there were morality to melt down). Yesterday the more this man talked the smaller and smaller he got. I had to stop watching after ten minutes or so (no cut to commercial) because I did not want to be there when he disappeared altogether. |
