The Weiner Twitter Thicket Thickens

The Weiner, the Weiner plot, that is, thickens.

Anthony, Anthony, Anthony!

Rep. Anthony Weiner should have learned a few things from his years in politics and from Bubba Clinton when it comes to scandals, especially those of the sexual variety.

Clinton taught through example that the best approach is to deny, deny, deny and, eventually, it will all, or mostly go away, and whatever remains will be covered up by the Democratic MSM. Of course, some things, such as Monicas and semen stains on blue dresses, can no longer be covered up when scoundrels like Matt Drudge make them so public they can't be ignored but even then Bubba could take refuge in the Democrats closing ranks and exonerating him.

Weiner's scandal, now being termed Weinergate among other less family-friendly terms, is barely sexual and absent DNA stains but replete with an alleged photo of his private parts, albeit hidden beneath a pair of jockey shorts, which he allegedly Tweeted to a 21 year old college girl. Not noted for his discretion, Bubba, to his credit, never made the mistake of taking pictures or at least letting them go public.

Then, again, such social networking websites as Twitter and Facebook were unknown in Clinton's time which is unfortunate in retrospect. Rep. Weiner has a piddling 200,000 Twitter followers and an even more minuscule 200, including at least one porn star, with whom he is in regular Twittering contact. As America's first rock star president, Clinton would have had tens of millions of fans, friends, and followers and God only knows what that would have led to!

Weiner also never made the grievous error of calling an inquisitive CNN reporter a "jackass" for asking a question about THE PICTURE then saying, "You know, I can't say with certitude" whether it was his own cloaked manhood bulging 'neath those jockeys.

Aside from not knowing that reporters are paid to ask questions, petulantly calling one a jackass for doing his job is both rude and stupid. With his incertitude, Weiner thereby exposed himself, so to speak, to speculation that he must send so many lewd photos that he couldn't really say if he had sent that particular crotch shot.

Anthony, Anthony, Anthony!

For some inexplicable reason, the original YouTube video including the jackass and incertitude remarks has been "removed by the user" but who needs it? In a subsequent MSNBC interview with the New York Democrat cogressman, Weiner admits the comments and contends they were made out of frustration.

See the entire 11 minute MSNBC interview, with a quickie jockey shot. Weiner, the congressman not the Twitter photo, appears on camera at the 3:30 mark; voyeurs will have to search for the picture.

Rep. Weiner not only forgot the cardinal political rule of discretion but also the valuable adage that when you're deep in a hole the first thing to do is to stop digging. Instead, Weiner continues to dig away, exposing himself-again, so to speak-to increasing ridicule by claiming his Twitter account was hacked, that the entire farce was a prank playing on his name, that he is most perturbed by its interruption of his dedication to labors on behalf of the people.

However, if that were his primary concern, why is he so ambivalent as to whether or not the Twitter crotch shot depicted his or some other guy's wiener? Why is he not demanding a Capitol Police investigation instead of hiring a private investigation service? What is he hiding from those people he claims to be serving?

Anthony! Anthony! Anthony!

Forget about any designs you may have had on the White House, Anthony. Forget being the next senator from the state of New York, forget about becoming the next mayor of New York City. I hear there are lots of openings for Jockey Brand and Fruit of the Lomb underwear models, though.
