Tuesday morning Weinergate update: Rep Weiner calls his attorney, not the police

It’s been a long holiday weekend and you may not have been following the news. So let us bring you up to date on what is now being called WeinerGate.

The most appropriately named man in Congress, Rep. Anthony Weiner, is followed by tens of thousands of people on FaceBook. He, in return, follows only 91 people. One of them happens to be a very attractive college student in Seattle who has referred to Weiner online as “my boyfriend.”

In what must count as one of strangest coincidences in history, Weiner tweeted on late Friday afternoon that he is “Heading to 30 Rock to chat with Rachel at 9. #Thats545InSeattleIThink”

At 8:00 pm, a photo of Weiner’s erect penis was tweeted to said same college girl in Seattle.

Weiner claims it was all the work of hackers. He claims he doesn’t know the young woman in Seattle, despite the fact that she’s one of only 91 people he Likes on Facebook. He claims that’s not his penis. He claims it’s all just one big prank meant to distract him from his important work (which apparently is the seduction of young girls on the other side of the country).

BreitbartTV reveals that even CNN is having a bit of trouble with Weiner’s weiner coverup:

CNN’s John King asks a great question: “There’s one way the congressman could try to put this to rest, and that would be to call the Capitol Police or call the FBI and say ‘come on in, please launch an investigation because I was hacked.’ Why hasn’t he done that?”

According to Dana Bash, Rep. Weiner’s office did not respond to that question but informed CNN that the congressman instead has hired a lawyer.

As John King says: “Curious.”

Curious? No, it’s more than just curious.

As one wag said, “Victims call the police. Criminals call their attorneys.”
