Oh My, Weiner Is Soooo Busted... He Was Tweeting a Porn Star, Too

Seems Rep. Weiner's "Mysterious Hacker" is also a film buff. More precisely, a fan of films in the buff.

Sex. Politics. Politician. If Mr. Weiner were a Republican the MSM would be all over it.

Republican Senator plays tappy-toes in the mens' room? All over it.

Republican Congressman sends mash notes to pages? All over it.

Republican Congressman emails stoopid pic of his chest? All over it.

Democratic Congressman? La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
