I had hoped to keep our little blog Weiner-free. Seriously, if I never hear another phallic pun it will be too soon. And so I was totally prepared to accept the story offered by Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., that when his Twitter account sent a picture of a…well, you know…to a girl in Seattle, it was just a hack or a prank or something like that. I was ready to forget about it and move on.

But with his clever media strategy, of appearing in public as much as possible and refusing to give any straight answers when asked direct questions, Anthony Weiner has convinced me. I am now certain that he is a liar who definitely sent the penis picture he is accused of sending.
