Rep. Anthony Weiner Undies in a twist over 'Weiner wiener'

Twitter pic a hack job, he says

Anthony Weiner is basically useless. Given that fact, he may become mayor of New York one day. After all, the genius Democrats in NYS did send Hillary to the senate.

Do you really believe Weiner was hacked?

New York Post

Call it Weiner-gate.

Twitter followers of Rep. Anthony Weiner were shocked when a lewd photo popped up on his official account late Friday night. The photo of a bulging male member cloaked in gray briefs was directed to a single Twitter user -- but on view to all 45,000 of his followers.

The wiener shot was the work of an unknown wag -- a computer hacker who gained access to the pol's passwords, his spokesman told The Post.

"Anthony's accounts on both Facebook and Twitter were hacked," said spokesman Dave Arnold.

The photo does not belong to the Democrat and wasn't taken by him, Arnold added. The lascivious link was sent to a female follower, a college student in the Pacific Northwest.

The tech-savvy congressman saw the picture almost immediately. He had been tweeting about a hockey game just a few minutes earlier. Weiner pulled the shot himself, but not before it had been retweeted and screen-grabbed by several followers.

Weiner, a voracious user of Twitter, wrote a humorous response about 15 minutes later.
"Tivo shot. FB hacked. Is my blender gonna attack me next?" he joked, ending the tweet with the hashtag "#TheToasterIsVeryLoyal."

Last night, Weiner jokingly tweeted, "Touche Prof Moriarity. More Weiner Jokes for all my guests!"

The woman who got the crotch shot has no ties to Weiner and isn't known to be part of his staff, Arnold said. But she took her Twitter and Facebook pages down a few hours later, after her name and a possible picture began to circulate on blogs.

Weiner, who represents parts of Queens and Brooklyn, got a message about a week ago from Facebook alerting him that his password might have been tampered with, Arnold said. But the warning was ignored, granting the hacker carte blanche to hijack Weiner's online identity.
