It does take some preparation to make a really big deal about a teeny tickler :biggrin:

this whole thing is a bit retarded.
on day 1, he should have just said "I accidentally uploaded an unprofessional picture to my twitter feed, it was a mistake and was promptly removed, I'm an adult, get over it."
the picture hardly qualifies as PG, even.
he's a public figure who posted something questionable on his public twitter feed.Why should he say that?

This has not been established.
This. Incidentally his story, contrary to those partisans inventing conspiracies against him, is further unraveling. http://www.thedaily.com/page/2011/06/05/060511-news-weiner-1-4/this whole thing is a bit retarded.

Just goes to show that the coverup is almost always worse than the crime. If you do something stupid that isn't actually a crime, own up to it as soon as you get caught and you'll at least avoid looking ridiculous for the stupid thing plus the attempted coverup.
Experts caution that there are several scenarios in which the congressmans Twitter account could have been compromised. Wisniewski cautioned that a savvy hacker may have intentionally noted Weiners posting platform the night of the offending tweet, and intentionally matched it.
If I had his password, I could add his account into my TweetDeck and start sending tweets, and it would all say TweetDeck, Wisniewski explained.
how would said hacker have obtained a picture of the congressman's crotch in his underwear, though?Please stop hyperventilating and overstating the facts, else the only thing really unraveling will be your credibility.
From your own posted article:
Well, he has not denied that the picture is him...
So I guess some hacker could have stole a picture of his crotch on his computer and decided to send it out on his twitter account...
but lol, that sure is a quite the story! Sorry, but I have a hard time believing that.
it's possible that someone hacked into his computer, photoshopped a picture that looked so much like his crotch that the congressman can't deny that it's him, and then uploaded it onto his twitter feed, where someone was standing by to delete the post a minute later.It's not like the guy has been a thorn in anyone's side or anything. I mean, why would anyone want to do something like this?
Sorry, your feigning that it could happen is quite ridiculous. Every few weeks we have stories of all kinds of People/Orgs getting Hacked that have much stricter levels of security than a Twitter account.
Hyperventilating? I'm laughing my ass off.Please stop hyperventilating and overstating the facts, else the only thing really unraveling will be your credibility.

(and obv, he hasn't admitted that it's him, but his lack of denial seems pretty damning)

You should really learn the difference, dude, if only to solve the mystery of why so many people hyperventilate when you talk politics.

it's also possible that the congressman hit the wrong button on his phone and deleted the post as soon as he realized what he did.
Occam's razor may apply.
I do not doubt the ease with which a twitter account can be hacked or an entry spoofed.RTFT. Your inability to uphold your end of an intelligent conversation is annoying.

but where are you arguing that they got the picture from? if it was just some random picture of a stranger, why is Weiner unable to deny that it's him in the shot? did the hackers have prior knowledge of what kind of underwear he buys, how hairy his legs are, the size of his bulge, etc?

I've never used twitter, lord, so please forgive me. I assumed that it was directly uploaded with the post, not linked from an outside source.Do0d, you posted:
Use your damn brain just a little bit, please:
The pic is likely Weiner's, i.e. it's likely Weiner uploaded it, hence his subsequent replies.
The hackers (if there were any, this remains in doubt) would have gotten the pic from Weiner's account when they hacked it!
Was that really so hard to think through? :hmm:
though tbh, if Weiner uploaded a pic of his crotch onto the net on purpose and left it there, "private" or not, that's probably even dumber than accidentally posting it to twitter.
I send them from work so wifey can "be ready",if you know what I mean, for when I get home.
Craig it was a FAKE document.Another is the document about Bush's national guard document - one praised as accurate in what it said by the secretary who would have seen it, but having some technical issues raised about whether it was a reproduction, spurred by bloggers, where the original document had a very mysterious origin supplied by a woman who could not be located.
