Remember the unfortunately named us congressman Anthony Weiner?

Ever wonder if maybe he didn't accidentally post that dick pic to his political twitter feed? That maybe someone else who knew he had another private twitter account which he used to perv out with women online was responsible for putting that pic out on the public twitter feed?
Weiner lost his congressional seat in the fallout and his replacement, Robert Turner, is a republican. The first republican to hold that seat in roughly 80 years.

- growupkids 13y agoI don't follow, Weiner admitted he posted the pics.
- selmnoo 13y agoI think what OP is trying to get at is that pretty much everyone does or has done something or other which is embarrassing and potentially career-destroying. In Weiner's case, it's conceivable that the first dick pic was posted by a bad actor. Once it's out, and it's clear what's happening, the "well, I didn't mean to post it!" excuse simply doesn't fly. There's really no choice but to admit it and say sorry, and hope your career isn't ruined.
- keevie 13y agoYeah I'm afraid that doesn't make any sense. Why would he admit to it? And then admit to it again.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Weiner_sexting_scandals#2013_mayoral_race_and_second_scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Weiner_sexting_scandal...
- TheCraiggers 13y agoBecause oftentimes denying it just makes people think you did the act all the more.
- headShrinker 13y agoI think a better example would be Elliot Spitzer. He was going to post an op-ed in the wa-po that was critical of the administration with in days of when the information about his sex scandal was released. The scandal instantly sucked away any credibility he would have had. Threat neutralized.
