From the looks of it, Weiner doesn't have very much of a weiner.

Weiner's story stretches credulity.  Both his Twitter and yfrog accounts were hacked, simultaneously, while he was logged in to them?  It's entirely possible the woman in question wasn't the intended recipient - he clearly was too careless to make it private so he may well have been too careless to send it to the correct recipient.  If it were a hacker it would have been sent to a man, possibly a fake account set up for that very purpose.  Furthermore, as others have pointed out, if he were hacked why isn't there a police investigation?

I might be missing something, but why is there (apparently) one one person who noticed the alleged tweet? I'd imagine Weiner has a ton of followers.

It wasn't only one person and it was only up for 4 minutes prior to being deleted.

Wow, Weiner's district is only D+5.  He really could be in trouble.

It's a fools' gold D+5 district for Republicans, only so because of the blue collar white ethnic New Yorkers who make up much of NY-09 backing Bush over Kerry for national security reasons in 2004 and not much liking Obama in 2008.  On the Congressional level, the district should safely remain Democratic even if Weiner resigned - though I could see the district electing a more conservative Democrat.

Well I mean if Weiner doesn't resign and wins his primary.  Or possibly in a low-turnout special election.

Great, now I'm not going to be able to do anything of a sexual nature for a solid week.

Oh, so it'll be just like any other week for you.

I'm always amazed at the level of projection here!

In any case, as a reasonably-attractive younger guy who's also into dudes, I can and do have all the sex I want.

It's disgusting that petty personal scandals are taken more seriously than scandals that actually matter (such as illegally starting a war, for example).

Yes, Obama is a war criminal.

And if you are wondering, I don't particularly disagree with that. Not that either of you particularly care about Obama's warmongering of course.

Um, actually that's my number 1 issue and it's up there for Mr. Double Your Pleasure too.  But, by all means, keep being insightful.
