Even if it is real, I personally don't give a shit about what politicians do in their private lives unless they've made themselves moral arbiters. Anthony Weiner has never positioned himself as any sort or moral scold, so if he wants to ineptly sext random chicks, unless it's unwanted harassment I say it's between him and Huma.

I saw most of it go down on Friday night (everything except the original tweet). The picture was still uploaded for a while after the tweet was gone ( ... )

I'm not sure I believe the "hacked account" story, but who cares?

I'm guessing he was probably trying to send it to someone else, and accidentally texted it to his TwitPic thing.

/Note, I don't use Twitter, so if the above is unlikely, sorry.

Same, and I don't. It sucks for Weiner's wife (I had actually forgotten that he's married), and flirting with coeds and possibly sending them bulge shots aren't exactly becoming a congressman. OTOH, he's never positioned himself as a hyper-moral family man, so...

My response to hyper-moral family men getting caught chasing/catching tail is actually pretty much just shrugs at this point, too, unless you bring a really novel angle to it (see also: Gingrich, Sanford, Kyl, Haggard, etc.).

Yeah, compared to "Family Values" douche David Vitter's Adult Baby shenanigans with a dominatrix, this is pretty tame.

Especially if he was trying to send the picture to his wife.

You know, my first thought when I read this article earlier was that he'd been trying to send the pic to her, and oops'd it to the internet instead.

Ten will get you twenty that the hacker was in league with Breitbart and that cuntstain that destroyed ACORN, as far as being on Breitbart's payroll. Breitbart's a complete fraud who routinely uses fraudulent material for his attacks so I would not put it past him to have a hacker or two on his payroll, trying to get into Democrats' social media webpages so that he can try and frame them.......

Using "cunt" or any variant of it as a slur -- not cool. Just sayin'. Do what you gotta do, though.
