[Some of Weiner's Twitter-women he follows] It takes a certain type of woman to set his heart a-Twitter.
Rep. Anthony Weiner follows only a select 198 of his nearly 49,000 Twitter fans -- and a surprising number of them are total babes.
Yesterday, outside his DC office, the model-loving, married congressman testily refused to talk about the pretty women he's following.
He flashed a tight, uncomfortable smile and avoided eye contact as he tried to deflect point-blank questions from reporters about whether or not he had sent a crotch shot of himself in underwear to a 21-year-old co-ed in Seattle.
'I'VE BEEN PRETTY RESPONSIVE'
A touchy Rep. Anthony Weiner yesterday refuses to answer questions about his penchant for linking to sexy online admirers like the one above. "Was it from you or not," demanded CNN's Capitol Hill producer Ted Barrett.
To which the squirming Weiner replied:
"If I were giving a speech to 45,000 people and someone in the back threw a pie or yelled out an insult, I would not spend the next two hours of my speech responding to that pie or that insult.
"I would return to the things that I want to talk about to the audience that I want to talk to. That is what I intend to do this week."
Then in another cringeworthy exchange, the Brooklyn-Queens Democrat unloaded a snarky insult instead of saying why he didn't pass on to Capitol Police his claim that his Twitter account had been hacked -- which would be a federal crime.
"I'm going to have to ask that we follow some rules here. One of them is going to be you ask questions and I'll do the answers. That seem reasonable? . . . You do the questions, I do the answers, and this jackass interrupts me?" a fuming Weiner said of Barrett.
But reporters persisted, asking Weiner if he followed the co-ed on Twitter and whether he had other "young women followers" -- with one barking: "Answer the question!"
Instead, the famously temperamental Weiner looked annoyed, rolled his shoulders and argued -- but never said whether or not he sent the picture.
"This is now Day Three," he intoned. "You have statements that my office has put out. And there are going to be people . . . this is the tactic. The guy in the back of the room who's throwing the pie or yelling out the insult wants that to be the conversation."
He took more tacks than a sailboat as he tried to not explain the Twitter tempest.
"Look, this was a prank that I've now been talking about for a couple of days," he said. "I'm not going to allow it to decide what I talk about for the next week or the next two weeks.
"And so, I'm not going to be giving anything more about that today. I think I've been pretty responsive."
Ahh Weiner... too bad he couldn't just play "hide the sausage" --with his wife, and had to display the goods on Twitter.
However, “Red Eye” co-host Bill Schultz offered the ultimate solution that would end the controversy in his view.
“[H]e can only do one thing,” Schultz said. “He has to get on national television and drop trou. We need to compare and contrast junk. It really — we will look at both bulges, see what kind of underwear and this matter is closed. I beseech you, congressman.”
I've seen him interviewed and discussed many times.
Comics writer Len Wein likewise pronounces his name <ween>. For many years I pronounced it <whine> until I was corrected by a comics dealer who grew up in the same New York neighborhood as Wein.
In comparing the scandals of Rep. Chris Lee (who e-mailed a girl a shirtless photo of himself online through CraigsList), as compared to Rep Weiner, in the first three days there were 200 stories on Republican Lee, vs. only 70 stories on Democrat Weiner.
Yet another arguable case of media bias and double-standard, when it comes to reporting about a guy on their ideological team.
I think Wondy has found his arch-nemesis armed with the Penis of Untruth. Watch out, G-Man, Rep. Weiner is coming to impale you in vengeance of the impaling Wondy gave Pro.
Huma Abedin (left) with Hillary Clinton (right) in August 1998
Huma M. Abedin (born 1976) is an American aide to United States Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton[1] who served as traveling chief of staff and "body woman" during Clinton's campaign for the Democratic nomination in the 2008 presidential election.[2][3]
Abedin was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Her father was of Indian descent and was an Iranian scholar who died when she was 17 years old, and her Pakistani born mother is a professor in Saudi Arabia.[1] At the age of two, her family relocated to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Abedin returned to the United States to attend George Washington University.
Huma Abedin began working as an intern for the White House in 1996 and landed an assignment with the First Lady. She currently works for Clinton at the State Department.[4]
She married Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY) on Saturday, July 10, 2010.[5] Former President Bill Clinton presided at the wedding which took place at the Oheka Castle in Huntington, New York on Long Island.[6]
Aside from being quite attractive, she's a power player in the state department, with a close relationship to both Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Weiner has been married to this lady for barely a year. I'd think he'd rather be having hot pounding newlywed sex on a regular basis, rather than following 198 other women on twitter, and sending them crotch-photos of himself.
On Redeye last night, Greg Gutfeld speculated that it might have been Huma who twittered the crotch photo on Weiner's account, as payback for her disapproval of his twitter activities with other women, and/or his extramarital affairs.
I found it in a Huma Abedin search and the photo came up. If you look at the text of the photo I posted, it has Huma's name in the JPG text. They used it for a trivia quiz of who she's dating, from before her and The Weiner got married.
A bit more Weiner-centric humor for your viewing entertainment, this time from Jon Stewart.
Apparently Stewart has a longstanding friendship with Weiner from their early days, and they used to hang out together at a mutual friend's beach-house. Which makes Stewart a witness of sorts to what Weiner may or may not be packing in the bulging shorts department.
This is the first time I've seen any media source display the actual oft-mentioned but previously unshown Weiner Crotch Photo.

The NY Post is having a field day with the headlines about this case

There is absolutely no way in hell you know that as a fact. The media is going nuts over this. You're merely seeing the world through a prism of personal preference, as usual.

Poor Pro. Lost in denial all over again.
Or maybe he's just preying on an easy hyperbole-based response to win himself some kudos while avoiding the fact that this story was more slow-building than others (considering the date it was revealed).

He posted that right after it was said on fox news. Him g-man do it all the time.
He left out the disclaimer about how everyone knew it was the other guy because his face was in the picture.

I always find it laughable when Promod alleges my bias. If you looked at 9-plus years of my posts, while I'm certainly a conservative, I've voiced plenty of dissent from W.Bush and other Republicans. Especially when they're involved in something like what The Weiner is involved in.
Whereas you, Pro, consistently drink 200-proof liberal Kool-aid, and vomit it up here on these boards periodically, whole and undigested, liberal talking points fully intact.
