Holiday weekend barbecue: Is Weiner one hot DAWG?

  Oh, wow. So it's not even 7:00 a.m. Sunday morning and all over the web, I mean, ALL over is the story about Representative Anthony Weiner, he of the pursed lips and condescending wit, accidentally sending out a photo of his, um, hot dog on Twitter to a young woman in Seattle.
  The links, photo evidence, tweets are piling up.
  So let's start at the beginning.
  Weiner claims his Twitter and Facebook accounts were hacked; this after the infamous picture was posted online directed to the aforesaid young woman. 
  All evidence has since been taken down and, as we speak, the web is being scrubbed of not only it, but links to the young woman's claims that he was her "boyfriend" AND her writing, which included the not too startling assertion that the new media will help ordinary voters connect personally with those important and famous celebrities known as politicians.
  So after Big Government posts the rather, um, unappetizing pic, Mediate quickly goes into action trying to refute BG's screen capture of the hot dog and BG's claim that there's more.
  So Mediate goes all in to suggest this may be a BG plot to discredit the hot dog. After all, BG has credibility problems ever since the Sherrod incident, they claim, right?
  Here are the links. It's a pretty hilarious story with serious undertones and questions about the credibility of the hacking claims of the married Weiner.
  BG's initial story here.
  Lee Stranahan at Big Journalism follows up here.
  Mediate calls the situation a "Whodunit," while swiping at Big Government for posting the "lewd photo."
  Ace takes apart the whole "I was hacked" argument here.
 The Other McCain does a little background and asks some serious questions here, who has also posted at the Spectator here.
  Director Blue does a little more background on the 21 year old student who claims Weiner is her boyfriend.
  Red State wonders WHY the young lady's profile is being scrubbed from the web if she has no real connection to Weiner.
  More as the story grows, as it surely will, today.
  Or will Mediate be right in asserting that only the right wing media is interested in sexual escapades of left wingers, who appear to have little responsibility with regard to morals since they never claimed to have any in the first place.
  Fire up the grills. It's a holiday barbecue.
UPDATE: Big Journalism wonders why no one's covering the story, considering that it's either a story of a predatory congressman or a serious hacking done on a congressman. Read it here:
So ask yourself: how does the MSM justify all but ignoring something so juicy? And then if you’re still not convinced of the story’s newsworthiness, remind yourself that these events are not unfolding in one of those odd, square-shaped states our journalist-class fly over every once in a while. This is a New York story that involves the trifecta of politics, sex, and a rising political star. Furthermore, the icing on the cake is Bill and Hillary Clinton. Last July, in a ceremony officiated by former President Clinton himself, Rep. Weiner married Hillary’s top aide, Huma Abedin.
Update: Wow. Verum Serum. And Weiner's New York Post answer refuted here.

  1. Not as grativating as Sarah's bike ride but a good start. Frinds describe him as a "stand up guy". I wonder if SNL will let this slide.
