Screen-cap of Big Government from earlier this evening:
So while America prepared for their Monday barbecues, Breitbart had his pretend “citizen journalists” scouring the internet for any Weinernalia they could get their hands on, leading to items above 1-19, with 20 reserved for a dick. Leading the pack was Breitbart’s “I Cover The Uppity Negroes” beat reporter Lee Stranahan who obviously felt comfortable going down this road since the young lady in question is of the dusky hue. Now, as it all starts to fall apart and Brietbart’s belligerent attack nitwit Dana Loesch is implicated (duped or stupid? Well, stupid is a given…) BigGov’s Dan Riehl starts dancing backwards (in heels, no less) and, well, humph huff-puff bluster bluster…. daaaaah …. Anthony Weiner is endangering America and we’re all gonna die!
Or something:
The notion that a verified Twitter account, in this instance, belonging to a member of Congress, can allegedly be hacked and continue to remain verified raises serious questions for Twitter. That an official account of a member of Congress can be hacked has even broader ramifications. Many taxpayers may not think it the laughing matter Rep. Anthony Weiner appeared to think it was, given his own reaction.
[...]
When contacted, sources on Capitol Hill raised serious concerns given that such a hacked account could potentially provide access to confidential, if not classified, information, by facilitating access to government servers via an existing Virtual Private Network. The extent of any hack would have to be investigated before any determination in that regard could be made.
If someone was easily able to access Weiner’s password for Twitter or Facebook, it’s unknown what other passwords they may have captured. It was also explained that a Representative should feel compelled to immediately report the incident to the House Sargeant at Arms, enabling Capitoll Hill Police to conduct an investigation.
One would presume Weiner appreciates all that and has taken appropriate action, as he did recently support the Cybersecurity and Internet Freedom Act of 2011. Unfortunately, given his office’s reluctance to speak to that issue, that remains unknown.
Anthony Weiner’s office won’t talk to citizen journalists and, so, this is the way the world ends, this is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a Weiner.

Anthony may be a Weiner, but Breitbart’s a complete dick.
“Some are born to be dicks… others have them thrust upon them. Others hang out at their local Park’s men’s toilets looking for dick. Sometimes it’s the local Airport bathroom stall, or Congressional Page Boy’s Office.”
All-Penis, All-The-Time
In more ways than one!
Seriously, what a beautiful cavalcade of right-wing idiocy. The word hack gets put in scare quotes twice, a Cavuto Mark on number two, a bit of “The LIBRUL MEEJA is ignoring us!, Tucker Carlson thinking people cares what he has to say, and of course, at number 20, Breitbart getting his own little grift out of the fiasco. So, so much fail.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody so desperate to know if a criminal investigation has been started.
Oh Danny boy, the Cops the Cops are coming…
One foto of a dick is not a strory. Now if it were a big bag on salted dicks? That’s a story!
I do sincerely think we need to send (Not Very)Breitfart and crew a big ol’ bushel of those salted dicks.
I find myself increasingly concerned with the large lichen-covered load of karma that is hanging over my head these days, so I feel I must say, at least for form’s sake, that it’s just cruel, no matter what a person has done, to send salted dicks without dipping them in chocolate first. You know, like strawberries on a buffet.
Caramel, however, would be a suitable sub. People have to eat a lot of salted dicks in that town, and you know what Mary Poppins says.
Some are born dicks, others have dicks thrust upon them. One need look no further than the Dominique Strauss-Kahn affair to see that old adage in action.
On the other hand, in the category of turning yourself into a complete dick on a daily basis, Breitbart and company have a firm grasp on the top standing.
I wonder if unRiehl has “raises serious questions” set up as a keyboard macro.
Oh noes! The nukular codes are kept on teh Twitter! Or is that teh FaceSpace? Anyway, Wolverines!
Poor Andrew, his paint-by-numbers penis fetish is overflowing into his work.
Of course, it didn’t help that Old Lady Breitbart cut the pockets out of his birthday pants so he’d have some stuff to play with….
Was O’Keefe the hacker?
I used to wonder why conservative Republicans always seemed so obsessed with cock.
Then it dawned on me, they’re all dicks, it’s a tribal thing.
@Tbogg
That was good by the way. The judges would have also accepted:
“This is the way the world ends, with a whang but not a winner”.
Well, is it possible the MSM have actually been ignoring this latest ridiculousness of Breitbart’s? This is the only place I’ve seen anything about this supposed tweet of Weiner’s.
Or is it just ’cause it’s a holiday weekend and I’ve been giving myself some relief from all news all the time?
Wingers are also “all butthole, all the time.” They frequently refer to the anal tract when discussing politics. It really is a study in psychology.
What’s the deal with Mediate? Who runs it?
That piece seemed fairly balanced until he got to the part about “irresponsible suggestions” that the whole thing was a hoax set up by Breitbart. As far as I’m concerned, suggestions that Breitbart set up a hoax against a liberal is the first and most likely conclusion.
I don’t understand why anyone would ever for any reason take anything “revealed” or “scooped” or “reported” by Breitbart or his minions the tiniest bit seriously.
Breitbart = weasel
Enough said.
With all due apologies to (furry) weasels everywhere.
Glad you didn’t say “big dick” because that would go to Breitblurt’s head.
Come to think of it, Big Dick is a perfect name for his web site.
The notion that
a verified Twitter accountAndrew Breitbart is a serial liar, in this [and every other] instance,belonging to a member of Congress, can allegedly be hacked and< continue to remain verifiedraises serious questions forTwitterBreitbart.Please. Does anyone believe ANYTHING this man publishes? If so, here’s a pro tip: You. Are. A. Fundamentally. Stupid. Person.
That is all…
Was O’Keefe the hacker?
He definitely wasn’t the model. It was bigger than 1-3/8″.
