When it comes to investigating Democrats -- especially nascent Democrat superstars -- the hacks at Politico must turn a blind eye to facts, logic and reason. Which also explains why they are Democrats. Consider what "media" must ignore to believe Rep. Anthony Weiner's story that the photo tweeted from his account, depicting a skinny white dude with bulging underwear, was not him. He asserts, on his Twitter account and through spokesmen, that his social accounts were all hacked and then immediately recovered somehow.
Consider this timeline:
03/13/2011 00:00 @GingerLee (porn star) boasts that she received a direct message from Weiner
04/09/2011 00:00 @GennetteNicole tweets "I wonder what my boyfriend @RepWeiner is up to right now"
04/10/2011 20:15 @Solzilla observes that "@GennetteNicole's @RepWeiner crush is cute."
04/12/2011 00:00 @maggiehenning, a school girl, tweets "talking to Rep Weiner ... right now! is my life real?"
04/13/2011 00:00 @patriotusa76 jeers "@repweiner talking to high-school girls now. Freak."
04/19/2011 00:00 @patriotusa76 notes that "@RepWeiner ... unfollowed 1 school girl. Now has 1 left ... initials: GN..."
04/19/2011 00:00 @GennetteNicole replies: "Are you insinuating that I'm a child? Don't mention in anymore tweets..."
05/13/2011 00:00 @maggiehenning, a school girl, tweets "@RepWeiner you used to follow me :( don't forget me!!!"
05/27/2011 16:00 @RepWeiner tweets that he is "Heading to 30 Rock to chat with Rachel at 9. #Thats545InSeattleIThink"
05/27/2011 19:30 @GennetteNicole re-tweets @RepWeiner's "30 Rock" message along with "#Thats545InSeattleIThink"
05/27/2011 20:00 @RepWeiner tweets "@GennetteNicole http://yfrog.com/h25m3luj"; the skinny white male erection photo
05/27/2011 20:04 @RepWeiner tweets "Killng me!! RT @kknapp1: @RepWeiner that is a tragedy! #EpicGame"
05/27/2011 20:05 @RepWeiner tweets "my tivo ate the hockey game! #WhoCanISue?"
05/27/2011 20:08 @RepWeiner tweets "@kknapp1 just kill me now."
05/27/2011 21:00 @RepWeiner tweets "Tivo eats the hockey game and Versus taunts me with endless postgame."
05/27/2011 21:10 @RepWeiner tweets "Followers of my lame hockey tweets recall i picked tb and nashville. #NotSoBrilliant"
05/27/2011 21:24 @RepWeiner tweets "Tivo shot. FB hacked. Is my blender gonna attack me next?"
05/28/2011 14:00 Gennette Nicole Cordova's social accounts are deleted (Twitter, Facebook, etc.)
05/28/2011 14:00 Congressman Weiner's yfrog photo albums are completely deleted along with suspicious tweets
05/28/2011 18:00 Gennette Nicole Cordova's web references, including her byline on school news stories, are deleted
Rather than preserve the "evidence" of the "hack", Weiner, Cordova and perhaps others involved have done precisely the opposite. They have laid waste to online evidence linking them. They have seemingly reviewed every web cache and social network attempting to delete stories, photos, names and any other possible references to their relationship.
And, somehow, the "hacker" -- in the midst of a series of tweets by Weiner -- was able to compromise both his Twitter and YFrog accounts, post a photo of someone who resembles Weiner, and then have control of the accounts wrestled back by the Congressman in a matter of a couple of minutes.
Yeah, that's believable. Politico, please change your name to Pwntico. Oh, and as for The New York Post -- how about The New York Pwnt?
A "computer hack" like this is a criminal matter. Why hasn't Weiner reported it to the authorities?

What the heck with that?
More than 1 "girlfriend"??
Weiner says his FaceBook account was hacked, but wasn't this sent through his Twitter account?
Weinder needs to get his story straight.
It's giving the real Oscar Meyer Weiner-mobile a bad name. LOL
Hate Weiner all you want. Embarrass the hell out of him if you can. But come on, leave the 21-year-old woman alone. She's just starting out in life and I really don't think she ought to have to go through life linked to something that will give a few people a few laughs for a little while.
Doug,
A word to the wise. You'd better start getting careful how far you get sucked into this.
Sincerely
Please, why would Weiner do something so stupid when everyone knows how easy this becomes public. I think Weiner is more on the ball than that. People are afraid of him because he's not afraid to call em the way he sees em.
"...post a photo of someone who resembles Weiner,..."
How do you know the photo resembles Weiner...oh wait. TMI! TMI! :)
"Please, why would Weiner do something so stupid when everyone knows how easy this becomes public."
Because he can afford to be careless. He knows his fans will always give him the benefit of the doubt; being radical Dems they have no regard for the truth. Some whine that Breitbart cooked the whole thing up. Some are blaming patriotusa76. Some are screaming for us to leave the poor lil' girl alone (even though she's a young adult of legal age). Some are even on Directorblue claiming that Wiener is too smart to do something like this, and that everyone's just miffed because Weiner "calls em the way he sees em." Self deception is a wonderful thing.
@ Vandereum,
Why, what are you suggesting?
Everything about this case STINKS to high heaven.
Weiner has lots of 'splainin to do.
MRPKW,
Actually, NO he does not have to explain a thing.
YOU may THINK he does but you have zero, zip, nada, to say about it and less power to make it happen.
You can, of course, stamp your foot and hold your breath. I shall wait here to see how that turns out.
As I have said before here and elsewhere, this is a sordid non-starter of a story that is only going to besmirch those who pumped it up.
We can already see Ace doing a very petulant climb down in a very Andrew Sullivanesque manner. It's sad and unattractive.
All Weiner has to do is just wait and it will fade away like the highland mist. That's because, outside of those whose political feelings (as right as they may be) just BLINDS them, this story is a dud, a turkey, an ex-parrot.
It DOES NOT matter whether the story is TRUE or FALSE. It is a non-starter.
I had some hopes that many smart bloggers whose work I deeply admire would see this, but alas, they have not. Now they are stuck with it without so much as the satisfaction of known if they were right about the story or mere on the right about the story.
There's a lot of blogs talking about Weiner needing to provide an explanation about this.
I am having trouble finding one that's asking for an explanation of why this yFrog picture is missing details that makes it look like a fake.
Shouldn't that be cleared up first since the obvious explanation means none of this even happened?
Here's the thing... if this turns out to be one Weiner's staffers who controls the general PR on his accounts (not uncommon at all), then this whole story goes away and you're left, frankly, with YOUR d*ck in your hands for jumping to a pretty erroneous conclusion. Also, on a separate note, if you link your Twitter account to your yfrog, it's easy to have access to both accounts if you can compromise one of them.
I see lying lefty scum is out on force today. Let's see:
1) Anonymous at 8:03 dons his armor and as a white knight comes to rescue a damsel in distress.... Except the damsel herself insists that she is an adult. She certainly was an adult when she participated in the coverup. Tough.
2) vanderleun, concern troll advising us to move on. How original. "Be careful how much you get sucked into this", he advises Doug Ross... or what exactly? Leftist are going to throw an even bigger tantrum? Oh please.
Can you update your timeline to show when patriot retweeted repweiner's yfrog tweet?
The issue is: Was it patriot's retweet that alerted weiner that he screwed up?
