Anthony Weiner Hires Lawyer To Pursue Wingnut Twitter Hacker

by Wonkette Jr.  1:13 pm May 31, 2011

Hooray, Congressman Anthony Weiner isn’t going to do the usual liberal/Democrat thing of just sitting there and taking whatever criminal bullshit the fringe-right dishes up, and he has hired an attorney to pursue the hacker who hacked into Weiner’s Twitter/yfrog account and posted a pornographic image. Have fun in Gitmo with the Sharia law, Breitbart!

[Weiner's] office confirmed to Reuters that the New York congressman, who has a high profile as an advocate of liberal causes, has hired an attorney to advise him on whether or not he could press criminal charges as a result of the alleged hack of his Twitter account.

They are looking for the guy who Twittered his wiener? How long before they have a line up of hairy palmed dudes to select from?

x111e7thst May 31, 2011 at 1:23 pm

For it has truly been said: "He who twitteth not his own Weiner the same shall not be twittered"

They might want to check out Mayfair or Kent.

"He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
Better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor."

Waiting for defense attorneys to ask him to prove that ain't his junk in the photo.

baconzgood May 31, 2011 at 2:17 pm

HAHAHAAH!

If the cock fits acquit.

Doktor Zoom May 31, 2011 at 3:09 pm

If he dresses right, you must indict.

MarcelleMarceau May 31, 2011 at 7:05 pm

If it ain't his junk, your case is sunk.

I reiterate my opinion that had Watergate happened at the John Hancock hotel, Weinergate would've had a much better name.

Needs more "Dick"…

Tracey.

flamingpdog May 31, 2011 at 8:42 pm

Or Peter Gunn.

Goonemeritus May 31, 2011 at 1:31 pm

Judging from the amateurish job they could probably track this back to an actual person. I would love to see the bomb throwing result in consequences.

One_who_wanders May 31, 2011 at 2:14 pm

Well that would be plain un-American.

GOPCrusher May 31, 2011 at 4:47 pm

They should probably just go to James O'Keefe's house and beat a confession out of him with rubber hoses.

Sue4466 May 31, 2011 at 1:31 pm

Good for him. I'm sick to death of that fucking Breitbart. For someone who is so consistently wrong and brazenly stupid, he is awfully fucking smug. But my guess is he'll piss his pants if someone actually smacks back.

And, yes, I'm suggesting I'd like to see Breitbart smacked in the face by a Weiner (which is like my first and only dick joke, so there).

emmelemm May 31, 2011 at 2:57 pm

Agreed and agreed. Shirley Sherrod has a much better case against Breitbart directly, though, as the incident in question there actually cost her her job, and thus, monetary damages.

Still, I'd like to see Breitbart get smacked, repeatedly, over and over again, until he GOES AWAY FOREVER.

Lascauxcaveman May 31, 2011 at 4:57 pm

I'd be happy to punch him in the throat for you. And then when he goes down (have you ever been punched in the throat? Don't worry, he *will* go down) you can kick him wherever you like.

Someone should bring some beer, and maybe snacks. We'll make a night of it.

emmelemm May 31, 2011 at 5:12 pm

Sounds good…

Dudleydidwrong May 31, 2011 at 5:27 pm

That WILL be on the telly, will it not?

Sue4466 May 31, 2011 at 7:24 pm

I really hope Shirley Sherrod kicks his ass. I would hold him down for her.

user-of-owls May 31, 2011 at 8:09 pm

Strikes me that Shirley wouldn't need any help whatsoever with that quivering pustule of bile.

Doktor Zoom May 31, 2011 at 3:01 pm

Come to the Dark Side. We have cookies.

littlebigdaddy May 31, 2011 at 1:32 pm

Kinda cocksure, isn't he, yon Weiner?

hagajim May 31, 2011 at 1:32 pm

Weiner has a mouthpiece? Sounds kinda kinky to me.

BaldarTFlagass May 31, 2011 at 1:35 pm

I like these "old school, back to basics" posts, where there is a cornucopia of dick jokes to be made.

DaRooster May 31, 2011 at 2:17 pm

Yeah, and we had the good "Fart" jokes with that pic of Sarah the other day… fun fun fun.
SANTORUM for everyone… oh wait… never mind.

user-of-owls May 31, 2011 at 8:12 pm

Remember, though, my friend, that true 'old school' was a sweaty combo of panda porn and assfucking jokes, the dick therein only implied, not centralized.

Doktor Zoom May 31, 2011 at 9:00 pm

Look, I don't know what kind of weird-ass anatomy you're used to, but as far as I'm concerned, if the dick ain't centered, there ain't gonna be no assfucking.

freakishlywrong May 31, 2011 at 1:38 pm

Please put Tony "the dick" Breitballs behind bars in a federal pound him in the ass prison. And throw away the key.

zhubajie May 31, 2011 at 7:43 pm

Give him the option of enlisting in the infantry.

Lucidamente1 May 31, 2011 at 1:39 pm

Wait till they find out it was a photo of Riley from Breitbart's private stash.

BaldarTFlagass May 31, 2011 at 1:43 pm

Is there some weird serendipity that my p-ness went from 116 to 0 right after I made a comment on a dick thread?

mavenmaven May 31, 2011 at 1:44 pm

They're gonna take Dan Wolfe, "Reagan Patriot", DOWN! One less downfister at wonkette, probably…

SorosBot May 31, 2011 at 2:26 pm

Why is it that people who loudly call themselves "patriots" are always the type who hate everything America stands for?

GOPCrusher May 31, 2011 at 5:17 pm

And what's this "No elitists need apply" bullshit? Target marketing for the "Dumber than a bag of hammers" crowd?
Usually it helps to be able to argue intelligently. You can only get so much traction from the "I know your are, but what am I?" argument.

mavenmaven May 31, 2011 at 5:22 pm

I suspect Mr. PatriotUSA76 Wolfe is not a lot of fun to be around, particularly if that turns out to be his own underpants picture.

glamourdammerung May 31, 2011 at 6:09 pm

Actually, I think some clown with that name and avatar trolled here previously.

Weenus299 May 31, 2011 at 1:46 pm

Gahd, Wahnkett. Totally missed a chance to put up a pic of Dr. Frankenfurter.

neiltheblaze May 31, 2011 at 1:47 pm

Andy's favorite Rent Boy is gonna hit the roof when he finds out his "G-rated" profile photo got used like this! Like any businessman, even an escort, has to protect his assets.

emmelemm May 31, 2011 at 2:59 pm

Huh huh, you said "assets".

neiltheblaze May 31, 2011 at 3:04 pm

….while obviously referring to his "frontssets"

UpFistTroll May 31, 2011 at 1:48 pm

You wanted "legal action," you little masterBarters? THIS is how you do "legal action". SUCK ON IT.

Callyson May 31, 2011 at 2:00 pm

Have fun in Gitmo with the Sharia law, Breitbart!
Wonkette Jr, I think I love you. Your vision for world peace and prosperity is an inspiration to us all. If only Frightfart *would* be sent off to Gitmo… :-)

baconzgood May 31, 2011 at 2:03 pm

Wether or not he can press charges? Isn't that some sort of wire fraud? I'm no law talkin' egg head but I think when you hack into some twats you've broken some sort of law. I mean if I can't piss on the dumpster behind the IHOP at 3AM with out getting a ticket this has to be illegal.

natoslug May 31, 2011 at 2:17 pm

According to the Pentagon, hacking a twitter account is a war crime (potentially): http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1392746/P...

So yeah, even though it was not an attack on the High Princess Palin, it is illegal.

baconzgood May 31, 2011 at 2:40 pm

TWAT LIBEL!!!!

natoslug May 31, 2011 at 2:44 pm

You're trying to make me give up women, aren't you, creating an association in my mind between Palin and female genitalia? Gah!

emmelemm May 31, 2011 at 3:00 pm

Law talkin' egg head libel! :)

Native_of_SL_UT May 31, 2011 at 2:06 pm

The part of this whole affair that surprises me most is that half you guys haven't changed your profile picture yet.

jqheywood May 31, 2011 at 2:08 pm

SorosBot May 31, 2011 at 2:09 pm

What I want to know is how our mainstream media still reported this fake story credulously. Every single think the Breitard racist fascist thug has "reported" has proven to be easily debunked pure slander; they've been burned enough times that they should know better by now and just ignore all his "scoops" as they are always lies.

Madam Killjoy May 31, 2011 at 8:40 pm

Because the Lamestream Media is LIBRUL. Duh.

flamingpdog May 31, 2011 at 8:51 pm

When you've become the stainedstream media, you've got nuttin to lose.

Negropolis June 1, 2011 at 4:03 am

The most maddening part the past few days has been the "if he didn't do it, why isn't he asking the capitol police to investigate?" STFU, you media rubes.

fuflans June 1, 2011 at 9:35 pm

fucking NPR reported this as 'maybe weiner has something to hide…' on 'all things considered'.

WTF NPR?!!!?

You got burned by this asshat, remember?

Doktor Zoom May 31, 2011 at 2:15 pm

The Wingnut Blogging Point on this is that only a guilty person hires a lawyer. An innocent person reports it to the FBI.

WHAT IS WEINER HIDING??????!!!!!!!!!!!

Oblios_Cap May 31, 2011 at 2:18 pm

If this goes to trial, will the judge issue a gag order?

I can't wait to see the headlines"Briebart Soundly Beaten in Court by Angry Weiner".

flamingpdog May 31, 2011 at 10:36 pm

Reminds me of the (actual true) headline in the Denver Post some years ago after Ted Bundy had received yet another stay of execution: "Bundy Beats Latest Date With Chair."

OC_Surf_Serf May 31, 2011 at 2:19 pm

Did you find them down Second Avenue (lying on a blanket, next to a broken toaster oven) and buy them back?

I'd speak out "He's over there! Make sure you cover that exit door around the corner!"

jdoleman May 31, 2011 at 2:53 pm

Like it!

pinkocommi May 31, 2011 at 2:41 pm

Weiner will not rest until he find out whose cock that was. Then, and only then, can he get to the bottom of it.

Trollina Dumbass May 31, 2011 at 2:41 pm

The accused, the recipient and the people Weiner represents don't really seem to care about this. So, just like 9/11 the most vocally outraged are the pinheads who weren't even effected by this…fake scandal-gate or whatever.

Steverino247 May 31, 2011 at 2:47 pm

Oh, I wish I was Tony Weiner's Lawyer.
That is what I truly want to be.
'Cause if I was a Tony Weiner's Lawyer,
Rightwingers would be bending o'er for me.

Doktor Zoom May 31, 2011 at 3:00 pm

As a New York Jew, Rep. Weiner has plenty of experience dealing with alter-Kochers.

BZ1 May 31, 2011 at 3:48 pm

Weiner hires gumshoe to find his wiener? Just look down!!!

JustPixelz May 31, 2011 at 4:02 pm

"…the alleged hack…"???

Who is disputing it was a hack? Unless — Weiner used his own Twitter to send an embarrassing photo to a stranger that would immediately be traced back to him. He planned it down to the first detail.

Doktor Zoom May 31, 2011 at 4:23 pm

That's just how brazen and immoral Dems are, you know. I believe the winger narrative is that he intended to send it as a direct message to her, but accidentally sent it to everyone, and so the "hacking" claim is a transparent lie, because liberals all lie all the time anyway.

I avoid Twitter like a cat avoids nail clippers, so I know nothing of whether that's a plausible scenario for the TwittenzApparat.

ingloriousbytch May 31, 2011 at 4:10 pm

In other news, Rick Santorum has hired an attorney to see if he is allowed to beat Dan Savage to death.

metamarcisf May 31, 2011 at 4:28 pm

This entire shananigan should be excused on account of it's part of Breitbart's 12 Step program.

Limeylizzie May 31, 2011 at 5:02 pm

Have you seen this? Methinks Breitbart has overplayed his hand.
http://www.rawstory.com/rawreplay/2011/05/breitba...

Dudleydidwrong May 31, 2011 at 5:35 pm

Well, Breitbart's not real bright, Bart. I think he's just added another issue for an attorney to consider when the lawsuits start flying around. And I hope that one of those suits ends up in his ass.

PuglyDoRight May 31, 2011 at 7:07 pm

CNN are assholes for even giving that douchebag airtime.

arihaya May 31, 2011 at 5:08 pm

for me, I will merely respond: "Need help ?"

prommie May 31, 2011 at 5:17 pm

I hope Weiner assfucks Breitbart. Metaphorically, of course, in a metaphorical sense. There must be a mention of "assfucking" every day, or this isn't Wonkette, and where better to say it than in the context of Weiner?

problemwithcaring May 31, 2011 at 5:33 pm

This smells fishy to me. You mean, there is someone in the world smart enough to be a computer "hacker" but dumb enough to be Republican?

flamingpdog May 31, 2011 at 8:59 pm

Dunno about that. My own historical view of things is that with the nomination of Ronnie Raygun in 1980, the Republican party officially became the party of stoopid. With the "election" of Dubya in 2000, it formally became the party of crazy. Crazy can be brilliant, but still crazy. Also.

user-of-owls May 31, 2011 at 8:13 pm

That's what Lorena Bobbitt said.

flamingpdog May 31, 2011 at 8:33 pm

Who the heck would ever cum for Breitbart, even with the help of that pron photo of his??? Oh .. COME, never mind.

ttommyunger May 31, 2011 at 10:25 pm

Always a win for the fucking lawyers, no matter what. I can't stand it.

Ken Cuccinelli May 31, 2011 at 10:26 pm

So. You wanna know why Big Andy is still pulling stunts like this even after he's been thoroughly discredited? Because he knows there'll be articles like this showing up on Google News.

People want to believe the bullshit that Breitbart puts out. Far beyond his commenter base of drooling racist pigfuckers, there is a very mainstream element of society that believes in the "pox on both their houses" narrative, and thus can totally buy into, say, a gift-wrapped story about black racism. Or that "The Democrats Do It Too" when it comes to Chris Lee-like shenanigans. Sure takes the media's attention of of NY-26, dunnit?

He'll get discredited again. But as long as there's a desire for his bullshit to be true, he'll get his week of the media attacking his chosen target.

Negropolis June 1, 2011 at 3:35 am

Hopefully, this puts Andy between a dick and a(nother) hard place. Though, that'd probably not be punishment at all, to him.

frostbitefalls June 1, 2011 at 10:19 am

Breitbart is such a fuck. I can't believe anyone gives him airtime. I gotta go brush my teeth now.

NadePaulKuciGravMcKi June 1, 2011 at 10:57 pm

Anthony Weiner believes every word of the September 11 story.
