Weinergate: Congressman Anthony Weiner's weenie investigation

Congressman Anthony Weiner is a dick, but everyone knows that. This week, a picture showing the crotch of a man in underwear was sent to a college student from the Congressman's Twitter account. Weiner says his Twitter account was hacked and initially called for an investigation. Now he says he wants the whole thing to go away.

It's become the fodder of the chatter from rightwing nut jobs and also from the extremist Jew-haters and coddlers at internet sites like Ikhras and KabobFest. Everyone is getting in to the action pointing fingers at everyone else.

Weiner is one of the most extremist New York congressmen when it comes to the Middle East. He's not beyond lying to make a point. Andrew Breitbart, the rightwing maniac who has fabricated news items by extreme-editing, is someone the media is hinting at may have been behind the alleged Hack. I don't think Breitbart is that smart to hack in to Weiner's account.

The picture is disgusting, almost as disgusting as the images of Ikhras founders Qassim Lufti and Thabit alArabi, two of the most illiterate bloggers on the Internet who deny the Holocaust, think that killing civilians is a legitimate form of resistance and believe that the only solution to the Middle East conflict is the destruction of Israel and the ethnic cleansing of Christian Arabs, their favorite targets. (Their big scoop this week: that the Egyptian soldiers had the right to apply a virginity test to protesters. Morons!)

Weiner doesn't care much for Ikhras or KabobFest -- the blogs have very little reach in the blog-o-sphere and barely impact the American Arab community.

The tip of the issue comes down to this, if The Weiner is telling the truth, he's making a mountain out of a molehill. But if he is lying, whose photo is it? And who sent it out. Really?
