So, is the Rep. Weiner photo hoax a retaliation for him tweeting about Clarence Thomas docu dump?

On Friday, Rep. Weiner tweets about the Clarence Thomas docu dump of his financial records, saying the SCOTUS judge should recuse himself on healthcare cases.

(this article by Sam Stein is more Rep. Weiner bashing than news about Clarence Thomas, btw)

Then on Saturday, asswipe Breitbart posts some hoax photo of Rep. Weiner saying he sent this to a woman via twitter.

Am I in high school again? This is purgetory, or hell? Perpetual dirty tricks? Nixon is smiling? And the press keeps calling them 'pranksters' and patting their swollen little heads.

1. Probably. They have no good policies or ideas so

they always fall back on sex scandals.

2. Of course.

Not paying attention to this crap is the best thing. It's been easily debunked.

Infantile. Immature. What else is new about republicans and their minions?

3. I really hope Ms Sherrod wins her case against him. Can Rep Weiner

go after him for defamation of character?

5. If twitter has decent architectured web sites they should be able to track this down...

As an insider, I personally knew of a lot of what went on to catch the hacker in to Sarah Palin's Yahoo mail account last election, and though some flaws allowed her account to get hacked, there were also other pieces to help track down those who hacked it.

Hopefully the people at twitter can help catch and also put in prison those who hacked Weiner's account.

7. I love how he laughs it off...

...and makes another mildly self deprecating comment about his last name.

"The Weiner jokes never get old, I guess." He said.

He was so damn funny at the WHC Dinner. About Boner should just embrace it!

And, this is politics!?

:-)
