Weinergate



By Jonah Goldberg
Over the weekend I said that I suspect this will not end well for Congressman Weiner. I still think I’m right. Rep.Weiner stands accused of sending a lewd picture to a young girl via Twitter. He says he didn’t do it. At first his office said his Twitter account was “hacked.” Now he says it was all a “prank.” This is an important change in language because to claim his account was hacked is to claim he was a victim of a crime. Meanwhile a prank is something he can wave away.


Now he will not directly deny he sent the twitter picture or if it's his..........

We have had the culture of corruption now do we have the culture of debauchery ?

It's been duly noted in several quarters that the liberal mainstream media is attempting to protect it's own. If he was a Republican he would already be gone from Congress.


UPDATE:

From Michelle Malkin:

NBC’s Luke Russert asked the tweetaholic congressman point-blank this morning if the ***** shot was his, and his Clintonesque answer was:
“I can’t say with certitude” that the pic is mine.


UPDATE 2

By Jonah Goldberg
Hey look, Rep. Weiner’s a busy guy. Who can possibly expect him to keep track of every picture of his own ***** he’s ever taken? Sure, it could be his junk. But how can he possibly know with any certainty? I mean it’s not like he has an elaborate filing and labeling system for his ******* photography. He’s not some weirdo. This looks like one of his many, many bulge shots, it might even be one of them. But how can he be expected to be definitive?
