New #WeinerGate Allegations?
UPDATE: Weiner’s Photo: ‘It’s Me’

UPDATE 8:35 a.m. ET: Andrew Breitbart has released the first photo, reportedly sent to a young woman via Anthony Weiner’s AOL account, “after she asked him to confirm that he was taking photographs contemporaneously, in conjunction with their apparent online communications.” UPDATE: Boston talk radio host Michael Graham: This helps explain why Weiner hasn’t just […]

‘Is He the New Tiger Woods?’

The title quote is from Andrea Lafferty of the Traditional Values Coalition in a story by Matthew Boyle of the Daily Caller: Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin told The Daily Caller Weiner’s “long history” of “skirt-chasing” raises more questions about the New York Democrat’s Capitol Hill sexual secrets and expects more women with similar stories to come forward.

‘You Can’t Lawyer the Media’

So said Andrea Tantaros during a panel discussion of WeinerGate today on “Fox News Watch”: Colby Hall of Mediaite.com was interviewed on MSNBC today about the continuing scandal: “When it broke, all there was left we could do was to speculate reasonably, until his statement that he could not say with certitude whether or not […]

GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!

(BTW, Mediaite has posted Tommy’s story as five different pages, without a “single page view” or […]

Brutal. Simply Brutal.

Something I hadn’t previously noticed is how Rachel Maddow employed the word “creep” against Anthony Weiner: (Hat-tip: PoliticalPAW.) Meanwhile, the latest spin on WeinerGate provokes Ace of Spades to lay down an incredibly brutal interrogation on the Prime Suspect — an instant blogospheric classic. And, yeah, I’ve got a new WeinerGate column up at The […]

Finally, Weiner Calls the Police!

No, he didn’t ask the cops to start an investigation of the insidious hackers who stole his crotch-photo and Tweeted it to a 21-year-old. But when a reporter for WCBS-TV in New York started asking questions . . . Weiner’s Office Calls The Police After CBS 2’s Marcia Kramer Asks For An Interview As you […]

#WeinerGate: Who Is @PatriotUSA76? @AndrewBreitbart Wants to Know

Much suspicion in the WeinerGate scandal has focused on the Twitter user @PatriotUSA76, who identifies himself as Dan Wolfe, but who is unwilling publicly to confront questions about his role. It was @PatriotUSA76 who, some weeks ago, specifically predicted an online sex scandal involving Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), and then quickly spotted the Friday photo-Tweet […]
