Who's Weiner Is It?

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) is embroiled in a bizarre controversy surrounding the dissimentation of a picture of a man's crotch sent from his Twitter account to a Seattle co-ed.  Weiner, when asked if he'd ever taken a picture like this of himself, could not answer the question forthrightly: "I can tell you this, that there are -- I have photographs. I don't know what photographs are out there in the world of me. I don't know what have been manipulated and doctored and we're going to try to find out what happened. But the most important reason I want to find out what happened is to make sure that it doesn't happen again. Obviously somebody got access to my account. That's bad. They sent a picture that makes fun of the name Weiner. I get it. Touche."  (bit.ly/kRQ7GM)

Next Day Deflect
