    I predict this is a new meme, make a twitter mistake, get caught and claim your account was hacked.

    Dear Great Britain,
    We’re terribly sorry, but full episodes and video clips of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart are not available. But please don’t send any Red Coats in relation at this time, as you CAN get your headlines at Channel 4.

    At least he’s not banging his underage male interns or hanging out in Airport bathrooms trying to get a little ass in a bathroom stall from a stranger, those republican holier than thou guys are so silly.

    The part of this story that got ignored is that he is/was boring in on Clarence Thomas and his wife’s financial dealing and likely impropriety. He was getting traction on that story, too. Alas, the account to which the photo was posted was easy to hack into–easy to post pics to another account with some simple guessing. See the ars technica article about it.

    Put these two things together, and it sure looks like Weiner got smeared.

    Olo–what happens to your analysis when you put the third item into the mix: Weiner has all but admitted the picture is of him. Do you have any pictures of your weiner on your computer or elsewhere? As close as I come is my feet at the end of my Lazyboy as I check my camera settings.

    “Yes, that is my picture. No, I didn’t send it.” Issue over.

    Huhmannah, huhmannah, huhmannah—and the story rolls on without an apparent smear at all. Just a hooman who has worn the ring of power a bit too long and can no longer tell the truth.

    Sad really. Not Shakespearean Tragedy sad, but sad nonetheless. Once you start to lie, who knows where it will end? He might change parties and become President.

    #27, Bobbo,

    Now you are acting like a Republican. Wiener has NOT admitted the picture is him. He has said the matter is under investigation. I suspect the FBI are looking into it and he has been asked not to comment on it. Unlike email, twitter accounts are a little more difficult to trace.

    Right now it is all conjecture. Except the part where Wiener is homing in on Clarence Thomas and his wife’s financials. This so reeks of the typical Republican antics.

    Mr Fusion…….really? “All but admitted” is what I said and if it was not him do you think he would have waffled around like he did?

    No.

    The answer is a simple yes or no unless you don’t like the answer, then you get paragraphs of 10 dollar words. aka BS or spin. Equivocation.

    In fact, you have convinced me. Yes, weiner by failing to deny it was him, admitted to the fact by equivocation against interest.

    Thank you for clarifying my thoughts.

    Say what you will, but Stewart (by his own admission, reluctantly) shows once again he has integrity by continuing to push this story for as long as he has in pursuit of comedy. Remember that when it SEEMS like he’s being unfair to Republicans.

    As for the Congressman, I hope he is vindicated and since Breitbart is involved, I’m more inclined that I otherwise would have been to believe him. But even his supporters and those of us who are suspicious of that truth-bending hack Republican Breitbart who conveniently had hand in revealing this story have to admit that the Congressman appears to be holding back something. I don’t know if he’s lying, if he’s trying to dodge the fact that it really is a picture of him (which would lead to questions of why he would have taken a picture like that), or if he’s just hoping women will think that IS him if he doesn’t deny it — but he sure seems slippery when answering questions about whether or not the picture is of him. He’s made some valid points during those discussions but it just feels like he’s reaching around and groping for an answer that doesn’t expose something he’d prefer to keep hidden.

    (Yes, some of those word choices were deliberate. Eat your heart out, Jon Stewart.)

    While I so often criticize the “non-think” that goes on with applying labels to complex issues, as with everything else, there is good and bad about it.

    what too many people need in fact is one label: “Self Destruct” and put it on your twitter account.

    Ha, ha. Silly Hoomans. Sexually Driven to various degrees. Why does the only meaning life have have to be suppressed in order to succeed?

    thats right—because everything is not about sex.
