[Update 6/2/11] Weiner's Weiner still a hot topic across media and blogosphere.

Screen shot to the left captured by BigGovernment, who broke the story.

I know news is slow this weekend, I understand this. I also understand when a politician enters politics he is tossing out any hope of privacy. I also get that when a bad joke slaps you in the face, you have to go with it and have a little fun.

But to turn photos of Representative Anthony Weiner's underwear covered bulging weiner into 'Weinergate' surpasses boredom and makes me want to bleach my eyes.

Quick rundown, Weiner's yfrog account (an online image-sharing site) produced a photo of a man in underwear sporting a bulge. Weiner says his yfrog account and his Twitter account was hacked and he didn't put those photos up.

Just to add more punchlines to this joke, the photo was sent to a female co-ed that Tweeted earlier "I wonder what my boyfriend @RepWeiner is up to right now." (See screen shot of that tweet here)

Doug Ross at Director Blue puts everything into a time line:

New York Post definitely has the headline of the day on this one with "Undies in a twist over ‘Weiner wiener’ ".

[Update] OMG, Twitter now has a Weinergate thread... yes, seriously!! Boy are they having fun with it.

[Update#2] Piece listing 8 Things to know about this story from The News Junkie who thinks after looking at everything in the order it happened, then Weiner's denials, says the verdict is that Weiner denials are "far-fetched".

Bottom line: Three people know the whole truth, the co-ed, Weiner and his wife who would know what his weiner looks like in undies and whether or not he even owns gray undies.

This has been the obligatory Weiner's weiner post..... now back to regularly programmed holiday festivities.
