Yesterday, Anthony Weiner told a group of reporters (and one jackass) that he was not going to be distracted by Weenergate. He was through answering questions and had to get back to trying to smear Justice Clarence Thomas et al. After that fiasco, Weiner decided today to give a series of interviews to several network reporters. Here is his interview today with MSNBC:
Here he is with Fox's Bret Baier.
Keep digging yourself deeper, Anthony. Now he says he can't say with certitude that the picture in question is of him. He insisted that he didn't send it.
Strange. I can sure say with certitude it's not me.
Of course, he is hiring his own security firm to take "a hard look" at it. Hey Anthony! Why waste your money on a private firm? The FBI or Capitol Police will do it for free if you (as a sitting congressman), were hacked.
Well, it's not a federal case here. It was a prank, says Weiner.
Note to Weiner; It is a big deal. Your career and reputation are on the line. If your Twitter account was hacked and someone sent a fake photo of someone purported to be you, you need a responsible, impartial government agency to get to the bottom of it so you can be cleared and get back to the job of harassing Clarence Thomas. Then maybe some reporter can ask you if you think Elena Kagen should also recuse herself from that health care issue coming before the Supreme Court.
Speaking of distractions; what the hell is this guy doing tweeting thousands of people every day if he's so busy doing "The People's Work"?
I can hardly wait for Day 5-or is it Day 6 of Weenergate.
Good grief! All he has to do is say that he did not send the picture and that it is not a picture of himself. He turns himself into a pretzel trying not to make those simple statements. Either he will be vindicated or proven to be a liar. This reminds me of the Bill Clinton testimony contortions. Like Obama in his birth certificate and record sealing fiasco, he could end the whole thing by simply disclosing it. By avoiding disclosure or an honest denial, it makes everyone think something is being covered up.
ReplyDeleteCongressmen have been forced to resign because they touched the shoe of someone in the next stall. Obviously there was more behind it but that was all that was on the surface. What is on the surface with this picture is the probability of some more sexual fetishes. Who does this kind of thing? What kind of people have pictures of only their private parts?
Some constituents of his won't want to be represented by someone who has pictures taken of his privates or lies about it. The simple reason is that it is weird in the first place and dishonest in the coverup. We just don't want people like that in governance.

True enough Miggie. If it is him, he should have just said, "OOPS, this was meant for one very special friend who wanted to see it, sorry y'all." If it isn't, he should just say, "That's not me." Then we could all get on with something important.
