Edited on Wed Jun-01-11 03:32 PM by Peacetrain
He was po'd when this first happened and now he seems to be trying to disconnect this..like maybe someone or some volunteer did this as a thoughtless joke and is about to be hung out to dry.

If he did something himself.. I think Weiner would have come forward.. he has always seemed like an up front guy like that.

Just a vibe I am getting..


EDIT TO ADD... Blitzer just asked that question as I posted this :wow:

1. no, he is trying to tell Wolf how stupid all this is...
Wolf, you have a twitter following? What if somewhat twitted to you "Wolf, remember that time you fucked the sheep on my farm?'

welllll, picture Wolf trying to defend himself on that.

IT'S ALL NONSENSE

11. Yep.. I heard that..
I just have this itch that this is not about Rep Weiner having done anything. It sounds like a kids trick..

4. Your concern is duly noted...
...maybe, just maybe he's tired of answering the same asinine questions over and over again from a M$M that is more interested in scandal than covering the hard news like Clarence Thomas's blatant conflicts of interest...

And where was the pressing need for answers when John Ensign was shagging someone else's wife??

Nowhere...

FUCK THE MEDIA

10. Problem is, he DIDN'T answer the questions.
Edited on Wed Jun-01-11 03:44 PM by TheWraith
As far as I'm aware, he has yet to actually SAY "No, it wasn't me." Even once. That's a big fucking red flag.

23. He answered the only pertinent question. HE DIDN'T SEND THAT PICTURE.

25. He said it on Rachel. " I didn't send any picture to anyone".
He was adamant that he did not tweet the picture.

28. Did you check the time stamp on my message?
As of the time he wrote that, he HADN'T said that.

5. gosh, I hope you're right
I love the guy and I'd hate to see him embarrassed about something as silly as this. I certainly believe he didn't send it himself, but even taking a picture like that to send to his wife would be a little embarrassing if everyone in the world found out about it.

8. He could also be playing the rope-a-dope on everyone like Obama did with his birth certificate.

13. I am maintaining a wait and see attitude about all this.
I do not know if he did what he is accused of. I hope not. However, I remember that many of us were burned by defending John Edwards for so long. Basically, I find it good not to put too much faith in any politician.

14. That is very good advice on so many levels..
Rep Weiner is just a real favorite of mine.. and he is smart as a whip.. I just cannot see him in the middle of something like this..

22. I hope you are right. But, I wouldn't bet my house deed on it. (Or any other politician,
for that matter). All that being said, his name is unfortunate for anyone involved in a sex scandal, whether or not it is his fault.

20. This would be a silly issue to flame out over.
Peacetrain isn't a freeper. You should take a break.

21. Could Mrs. Weiner maybe have taken the photo
and playfully showed it to someone saying "Now there's a Weiner for ya." and some intern got it and posted it? Wives do those kind of things, folks. Just one wife's thought. :hi:

26. That's what I think. It was a private picture that went public.
The question is, who put it out there.

24. If Weiner was a republican
this board would be LIT up with anti- penis outrage.

It's really ridiculous.

27. I think it's his and he's embarrassed. He didn't send it, the girl never received it,
and that should be that. The MSM is only interested in titillating reportage instead of investigating who is behind this. Breitbart got on CNN and was trying to smear Weiner some more, so my money is on him as the culprit. No big surprise there. Breitbart belongs in jail.
