I know I’ve been talking about Weiner’s wiener a lot, but Jon Stewart says it’s okay:
Gee, how come Jon’s acting career never took off?
So now the rest of us have the imprimatur of America’s Most Trusted Newscaster. Which is good, because as much as Weiner and his well-wishers would like this story to go away, it won’t be happening today. Lefty bête noire Andrew Breitbart writes:
A new woman has come forward with what she claims are photographs, chats, and emails with Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY). These appear to undermine severely Rep. Weiner’s explanations that he was the victim of a “prank” or a “hack.”
The detailed new information suggests that the Brooklyn- and Queens-based representative and the young woman in question were involved in an online, consensual relationship involving the mutual exchange of intimate photographs.
Oh my. Will Breitbart do to Weiner & Co. what he did to ACORN?* We’ll see. He’s promising the evidence throughout the day. Stay tuned!
*Namely, destroy them and make their defenders screech futilely that he’s a liar, which is really fun to watch.
Update: Is that an arrow, Congressman, or are you just glad to see her?
Update: I can tell already, it’s gonna be a good day.
Update: Sure, it’s quick and dirty, but that’s just how he likes it.
Update: Looks aside, Cyrano de Bergerac he’s not: “ridiculous bulge in my shorts now. wanna see?”
Update: There comes a point when you start to feel sorry for a guy. This is not that point. Although you have to admire the definition in Rep. Weiner’s chest muscles, if not in the ridges of his brain.
Update: It’s just a limericky kinda day…
There once was a man with no certitude
Who took pride in his gift for acerbitude
When he claimed he got hacked
He was maimed by the fact
That he sent women pics as a shirtless dude
Update: Rep. Weiner has scheduled a press conference at 4. It would’ve been earlier, but he had to send an intern to the dry cleaner for his breakaway Chippendales pants.
