‘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 […]
‘UR SO HOT! C MY WANG?’
(Or, #WeinerGate Explained)
Mark Steyn quotes Little Miss Attila in regard to The Story That Won’t Go Away. (“If you experience an erection lasting more than four news cycles, call a spin doctor.”) Attila said: Everyone lies about Twitter-flirting, and everyone knows that everyone lies about Twitter-flirting. Kellie Jane said that it is actually not so unusual for […]

Luke Broadwater of the Baltimore Sun really wanted to believe Anthony Weiner was innocent . . . But then I heard Weiner start to explain himself and everything changed. The more he talked, the more it became obvious that not only is the photo of him, but he sent it. . . . “I think […]
Because I Know What’s News
“Has there ever been more manufactured and phony hype about a certifiable non-issue than so-called WeinerGate?” — John Guardiano, “Weinergate: What’s the Big Deal?” Frum Forum Few things annoy me more than having my news judgment questioned. Disagree on policy or doubt me on politics — we might argue, but such arguments do not call […]
Wow! Strange Plot Twists in #WeinerGate’s Third Act
A sentence you won’t see me write very often: Tommy Christopher has done some excellent reporting. Tommy’s story about @PatriotUSA and a 16-year-old girl who (falsely) claimed her friend was involved in Twitter “sexting” with Rep. Anthony Weiner is an absolute must-read. (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 […]
#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 […]
