Ending Weinergate

United States Representative Anthony Weiner represents New York’s 9th congressional district.  He has been in that seat since 1999.  Before that, Weiner was a New York City Councilman.  He is a member of the Democratic Party.

Personally I enjoy listening to Rep. Weiner’s tirades.  He believes the biggest mouth gets the attention – and he often does.  Now Weiner may have met his match and he needs our help!

Rep. Weiner is on Twitter (@RepWeiner) as are many elected officials.  Weiner’s Twitter account sent what some describe as a “lewd” photo to a 21 year-old female college student.  Now we all know that a Twitter account cannot just take a photo and send it; someone had to be pushing the buttons OR someone hacked into Weiner’s Twitter account (that is what was first reported by Weiner’s staff).  Now it’s being called a prank. Weiner supposedly has retained an attorney.

It’s been reported that Weiner never notified Capitol Police about the hacking, and he’s having a very hard time answering questions from the press about the issue.

We all know what really happened, but here’s some help for my good friend, Anthony.  Weiner and his staff should pay close attention to the next few sentences and this long national nightmare, called Weinergate, will end:

Since many elected officials don’t know the first thing about Twitter, Facebook or even Google, Weiner should have just blamed the whole issue on an intern.  Yes, an intern.  They get blamed for most everything any way…

Proposed statement from Rep. Weiner:

I gave a trusted intern in my office my password and login information to my Twitter account to help me communicate with my constituents.  Unfortunately, the intern accidently sent a photo of himself to one of my followers in error thinking it was his personal Twitter account. I just found out this is what happened and my Twitter account was not hacked as I first thought.

Now, wrap up the press conference with:

I regret this incident. (Place special emphasis on the word “regret.”)

Then, look down at the ground and say:

I’m deeply sorry this took so much attention away from real issues, like…debt…jobs…

Then Weiner should add something like he won’t release the name of the intern because he was just young and foolish and this should not tarnish his life at such a young age, blah, blah…  The intern has been released from his position in my office, blah, blah, blah…

Next question…
