Anthony Weiner’s Online Weiner Scandal

A close shot of someone’s grey boxer briefs was reportedly uploaded to Rep. Anthony Weiner’s Twitter account.

Here’s a link to the pic. I’m not going to post it, because, well, I’m just not going to do it.

From Politico:

Rep. Anthony Weiner says social networking identity hacking is to blame for the lewd material that a conservative news website reported was sent from his Twitter and yfrog handles to an unidentified woman in Seattle.

The New York Democrat told POLITICO he thought it “obvious” that his account had been taken over, and he tweeted that his Facebook account had been hacked with the abbreviation “FB hacked.”

A photo of a man’s bulging gray boxer-brief underwear was posted to Weiner’s account with yfrog — an online image-sharing site — on Saturday night, according to biggovernment.com, which is run by Andrew Breitbart. The photograph is from the waist down, and shows no face.

“The weiner gags never get old, I guess, ” the veteran lawmaker emailed a POLITICO reporter in response on Saturday.

Why was his account hacked, do you ask?  Because Weiner is badass, and when you disagree with someone who is badass, you try to thwart them.  How is he badass?  Watch for yourself:

How else is he badass?  Well, because he looks like him, and he married her.  Take that, internet underwear.
