New York Congressman Anthony Weiner (D), who insists the lewd picture posted to his Twitter and yfrog accounts was the work of a hacker, has more shady Twitter activity under his belt. Porn star Ginger Lee (@gingerlee) Tweeted on March 13th:
You know it’s a good day when you wake up to a DM from @RepWeiner. (I’m a fangirl, y’all, he’s my trifecta of win.)
A “DM” is a private, direct message through Twitter, and “@RepWeiner” is the Twitter handle for Congressman Weiner. You can find a screenshot of the Tweet at Gateway Pundit’s blog (that first link).
Weiner was also following and talking with a teenage girl on Twitter. She was one of only 94 people he followed out of the 45,000 people who were following him. Another individual he was following? The same Seattle-based progressive activist to whom his account dispatched the lewd picture.
