Ted kennedy lied about it for 40 years. Wiener is one of the dems hatch men in a totally safe district. He's not gonna resign, dems don't resign

Porn Star Says Weiner Sent Her a Private Message By Prudence, on May 29th, 2011 Ginger Lee—a porn star, stripper and fan of Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY9)—was ecstatic on March 13 2011: Ginger Lee’s tweet said: You know it’s a good day when you wake up to a DM from @RepWeiner. (I’m a fangirl, y’all, he’s my trifecta of win.) [NOTE: DM is a Twitter abbreviation for Direct Message, in which a tweet is sent privately and only to the one recipient. To send a DM, the person you wish to message must be following you on Twitter. Ginger must have been following @RepWeiner for him to DM her. He would not necessarily have to have been following her to send the DM. However, a tweet was publicly broadcast by @patriotusa76 back on April 12 saying that Weiner only followed 91 people at that time, and it names "PORN star Ginger Lee" as one of them. PatriotUSA76 aka Dan Wolfe appears to have been on Weiner's trail for some time now and has been tweeting his curious finds to various blogs and conservative websites, apparently to no avail.] Following Ginger’s excited announcement of receiving a DM from Weiner, a few Ginger and/or Weiner fans piped up with questions: @MilesLord asks @GingerLee: How do u DM people, and why the heck is Congressman Weiner DM-ing u??? To which @GingerLee replies: Because he is one of my heroes, & a DM from him is like a DM from Buddha. And then there was this: Ginger Lee tweeted to @starchild111: He thanked me for the shout-outs and said he likes my blog. (I died a little inside…in a good way.) [Uh, that would mean he's been reading pornstar blogs, presumably on their websites. ] A couple months ago, around the time of this message, @Starchild111 was a high school girl who was trying to get Weiner to be her prom date. She was overjoyed when he followed her, upset when conservatives laughed that Weiner was trolling the school yard, and dismayed when he unfollowed her. Starchild has deleted her twitter account. I only just found her last night, so I have no knowledge of when she deleted it, but I have found tweets by her as recent as May 18. Starchild is not the only teenage girl with a crush on Weiner that he has followed. There’s another one that he has apparently had an on-again, off-again following involvement with for a couple months. And he’s currently following her again now. This pattern of behavior, following and DMing young women that apparently have no relation to his district or his work, fits in with the suspected behavior of him DMing a crotch shot to a college girl in Seattle. Weiner is claiming his Facebook account was hacked, which doesn’t explain how the photo was uploaded to his yfrog account and then tweeted from his twitter account (that he was tweeting on around that time, including after the supposed hacking). For more coverage on #Weinergate, see these excellent roundups: The Other McCain: MSM Starting to Cover ‘WeinerGate’ and Weiner’s Wiener? Verum Serum: Rep. Weiner’s Twitter Account Hacked by Horny Look-Alike Big Government: WeinerGate: MSM Ignores Trifecta of Sex, Politics, and a Rising Political Star I have more that I have found. Still sorting through it to see if there’s anything else to contribute to fleshing out the full extent of #Weinergate. UPDATE [5/29/11 6:00pm] Thanks to The Other McCain for the linkage. Welcome, TOMers. Yukyuk: In a bit of irony, back in May 2004, Rep. Weiner introduced legislation to stop sexual harassment on college campuses: “Institutions of higher learning have a responsibility to establish clear boundaries between acceptable and unacceptable conduct on campus,” said Rep. Weiner. “That means putting students on notice from day one that sexual harassment of any kind will not be tolerated.” Perhaps Weiner’s just been conducting online research for some new legislation? UPDATE II: [5/29/11 6:30pm] Thanks for the links from JustPaste.It and Uncoverage.net UPDATE III: [5/29/11 7:15pm] Thanks for the links, DaTechGuy and DailyCaller! UPDATE IV: [5/29/11 7:25pm] Oops…and not to forget, thanks to Velvet Hammer at Ironic Surrealism, Gateway Pundit and AceOfSpades. Another yukyuk: The Wall Street Journal has posted a very short little AP story regarding Weinergate. Note the pronunciation key they give in the first sentence. When was the last time you read an AP story that had that?: NEW YORK — A spokesman for New York Rep. Anthony Weiner (WEE’-nur) says a lewd photograph sent from the Democrat’s Twitter account is just “a distraction” perpetrated by a hacker. Weiner spokesman Dave Arnold told The Associated Press in an email Sunday the Twitter episode was “a distraction” from the congressman’s “important work representing his constituents.” The photo showed a man’s bulging underpants. It first was reported Saturday by BigGovernment.com, a website run by conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart. The site said the photo was tweeted to a woman in Seattle. The photo was quickly deleted. Weiner later joked about it on Twitter, asking whether his kitchen blender would be next to “attack” him. prudencepaine.com
