Over the weekend, a female college student in Seattle received a suggestive photograph allegedly tweeted from Congressman Anthony Weiner.

Another reminder that twitttttter is as dumb as facebooooook.

I saw Weiner's interview and couldn't help but laugh. He was trying to be so "legal jargon" and vague that it was apparent that it was he in the photo. The question would just be how the photo got to her--hacker or did Weiner send it.

He kept changing the question from "is it you in the photo" or "how did the photo come into existence" to "how did the photo (regardless of who is in the photo) get to this woman." That's very wise on his legal team's part.

My first thought was "With a name like that, what would you expect?"

"oh na na what's my name?"

Maybe she can't read and he was just trying to show her his last name in pictures?

This story's really weird, there's some suspicious stuff about the people who provided the info to Breitbart (who are totally reliable journalists, totally) in the first place, but then there's Weiner's weird response.

Also Weiner is like my favorite Representative, he's freaking hilarious, I pretty much agree with all his points, and he had Jon Stewart as a roommate, he's heard all the "weiner" jokes before. I'm withholding judgment on this particular instance until it becomes clear. I'm wondering if the pic was his, but the sending of it (something only one or two people saw, not including the person it was sent to) was a quasi hack.

I would love to have been Jon Stewart's roommate but for completely different reasons.

I know right?

Seriously though, Weiner read a children's book to Congress to try and explain the rules because the rule book was really big and boring. He makes CSPAN worth watching.

Isn't there a stripper involved?

Or maybe the the Seattle "college student" is the stripper.

No, supposedly one of his followed people was a stripper or something but that's entirely unrelated.

The college student appears to be your typically politically active fangirl who called him her boyfriend. Which hell, I'd hit that, wouldn't lie. His wife might object to that though.

I believe AW's going to be testifying about this and as I don't see him being stupid enough to perjure himself, it should be enlightening

I can't lie, I saw the picture and that combined with how freaking hilarious he is on the House Floor and was like "I would hit it."

I'm pretty sure every time a donger shot is sent to somebody I know, it's been a hacker. When she responded poorly.

When she responded well, that was DEFINITELY me. It's weird how that's worked out - I guess I hope that pattern keeps up, for both me and Mr. Weiner. I also hope the cyber police are working hard to root out those hackers, they sure are annoying. Some of the time.

LOL

Thing is, the hot girl didn't even see it before it was taken down

We don't know how she would have responded so we don't know whether it was hackers or not, yet!
