Rep. Weiner Staff Calls Cops on CBS News Reporter (but Not the Alleged Hacker)
by PubliusAn incredible story, even by Weinergate standards:
WASHINGTON (CBSNewYork) — Congressman Anthony Weiner said Thursday he’s finished talking about the lewd photo sent from his Twitter account.
But he still wouldn’t say whether he’s the one in the picture.
So CBS 2 political reporter Marcia Kramer decided to go to his office on Capitol Hill to try to get you some answers.
You’ll never believe what happened.
Kramer tried to get an interview with the six-term New York Democrat and as a result had the cops called on her.
Kramer walked in to Weiner’s office, announced herself as being from CBS 2 in New York City and said she’d like to see the congressman. Those few words created quite the stir. Doors slammed and people pretended she wasn’t there.
Finally, brave press secretary David Arnold arrived. The following is the exchange Kramer had with him:
Kramer: “All I want is for him to say something to his constituents, the people who have to vote for him.”
Arnold: “I don’t think you can say he hasn’t said anything to his constituents. He spoke for nine hours yesterday.
Kramer: “But not to anyone in New York. You know, this is the sort of in-the-bunker in the capitol, not to anyone in New York.”
After Kramer left Weiner’s office, his staff called the Capitol Police.

And….. this just stopped being Clintonesque and moved into a whole new realm.
Weiner just shot his wad. Time to see if AG Holder blinks, and then has a Judge issue a Gag Order for all Weiner related issues in the Nation.
Deeeeeeelicious.
He's going to be the gift that keeps on giving.
He should have behaved with dignity, like Senator David Vitter
LOL – The poor little guy. Nobody believes him. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy either! /sarc
It's past time for the deceitful, shameful, lying, perverted congressman to resign his position.
Lets get that…………."The Weiner must GO!!!" ………………..chant going.
So.
Let me see if I get this straight.
The old media, CBS sends in a reporter to interview the Hebrew National, and they have the law called on them?
Pretty funny, when the liberals start calling the law on their lap dogs.
Bwahahaha, just when you think this could not get any more unbelievable the weiner man pulls it off.
"Say No To Weiner!"… Liberal Males would never go for such a thing.
and Senator John Edwards.
Would it be in poor taste, and considered inappropriate, to break out into a song?
"OH, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer hotdog, that is what I'd truly like to be! For if I were an Oscar Mayer hotdog, everyone would be in love with me!"
That was when weiners belonged to the entire country and,……
not just to Seattle gals.
……………and the Dean of Morality, Billy Jeff Clinton.
He marries one of Hillery's confidant and,…
strayed off the reservation on Israel and,……
now he is history.
Mr. President,……I think they got the message,……
loud and clear.
Its time for the weiner to pull out……….
Salacious headline aside, there seems to be something missing from this story. I find it difficult to see why the cops were called if Kramer had already left the office, unless there were something more to the visit. I think we'll be hearing more….
More on point, though, KUDOS to her for being an employee of CBS and going in there with some 'tude on. NICE.
He is soooooo going to get re-elected if he isn't forced to resign. What a jackass. He's perfect for NYC.
LOL…one of the better puns I've read….good one Bashley. This story literally writes itself.
This is a claim to be pursued in… wait for it-
"Small Claims Court!" (Hat tip to Ann Coulter)
Cock and bull story of the decade.
MY theory for what it is worth? He is a newlywed and newly married couples do lots of things…and I believe that is a photo of him that he took…because he will not deny that point. However, it was intended to go to his wife…and her only! He could have made a mistake when sending and/or he was actually hacked and when the photo was revealed THEY decided to send it around as a joke!
At any rate it needs to be investigated…and since he won't tell the truth…let the truth be revealed…as was that picture!
~~~
The 'whiney' Weiner needs to fess up and tell the truth of what 'is…is'…right Slick Willie?
If it was for his wife, why doesn't he just show her the real thing in person?
Maybe i'm just old fashioned.
Well, you know what Mencken said:
It is called 'titilation'? Trying to entice her…I would suppose! Perhaps, it was for his 'titilation' and not hers?
Just saying!
Hay hay
Ho Ho
That dirty Weiner"s got to GO
Hey Hey
Ho Ho
I've been out of the loop all day, but this whole thing is getting crazy.
I still think we need to look for a Friday afternoon mea maxima culpa along with the wife. Then they disappear for the weekend and on Monday they all start calling it "old news". That's the Chicago way (and the old Clinton way).
The more this goes on, the funnier it becomes. I don't when I've ever seen such guilty conscience in my life.
He's cut bad, there's nowhere to flee, and the sharks are circling. This ain't gonna be pretty.
His arrogance and dishonesty before any of this happened evaporated any good will from the public or MSM. No sympathy to be found.
Wow, they're eating their own.
What's going on in LiberalLand?
First they open the flood gates on Mr. Progressive Hero who calls a CNN producer a jackass and now calls the cops on a NYC CBS reporter? This after not a single Democrat votes for Obama's budget, some join on with the Ryan plan and 80 voted again raising the debt limit. What next?
The Hillary connection in this is just to much a coincidence.
If she was going to primary Obama, she would have to announce soon. Is this a backhanded way of sending her a message?
Or maybe he preys on women young enough to be his daughter.
I'm waiting for The National Enquirer's investigation.
Weiner will probably also hire a PR firm to rehabilitate him. Watch for him and Huma to start appearing in public together holding hands.
Oh no, you didn't!
ROTFLMAO!
WINNER!
A million thumbs up on that one!
OK Hillary,……..
Today your aide's husband,…..
tomorrow your,………
So did he show her the Weiner ?
she then laughed and that is when they called the ubama SS black panthers to arrest her
"…….Rep. Weiner Staff Calls Cops on CBS News Reporter (but Not the Alleged Hacker)……"
and what,….?????
Breitbart gets away with another "smear" job,….?????
He needs to resign. That is all.
I find it creepy when a government official calls the cops on someone from the press when they really weren't doing anything much at all except asking a question and it would appear that she left the office anyway.
And the Left calls US fascist?
LOL!
I want to see sour Krauthammer Weiner.
Guess he never heard of freedom of the press. It's in a document called the Constitution. I know, it hasn't been seen in DC in a long time, but it really does belong there.
Another reason why everyone calls him "Prick"?
hey hey…ho ho…
tony's weiner must go!
Hey hey…ho ho
tony's wife said no no!
hey hey…ho ho…
barney's frank is gonna blow!
Something like that work?
My apologies to you….I posted something similar above in reply to chopper before scrolling down the page.
Well one never knows…what goes on behind closed doors…RIGHT?
I am just trying to give him the beneift of the doubt…but one thing we all know for sure…the TRUTH is always revealed. What is done in secret will be revealed…sooner rather than later…in his case!
"but the fact that the cops were called is a clear sign that the stress of this so-called “Weinergate” controversy is taking its toll. "
Ha ha!
And the entire Kennedy family.
His behavior over the past few days is strongly at odds with your theory. He's acting like a wild animal in a trap. Sic-ing the police on a reporter is analogous to starting to chew his own leg off.
The truth is going to come out…we'll just wait and see…what it reveals!
I hope he gets thrown out of the Congress like they have done to others! Any way we can get rid of the henchmen of the Democratzi and the messiah…the better!
But to have them go out in disgrace…priceless!
Any way we can get rid of the henchmen of the Democratzi and the messiah…the better!
Any way? No. I don't agree with that. That would make us like them.
It wouldn't be in poor taste for you.
As bad as demorats are, the big 5 are Pelosi, Reid,Frank, Schumer and this scumbag. Not only does Weiner condem all republicans when something happens but has the gall to demand resignations. So I say to you Weiner, RESIGN NOW! You have embarraed the office, and those you represent. But this piece of crap will not resign because liberal filth never ever do the right thing. They only have excuses and give some considerably less than honest apology and say they have to get back to work, what a piece of crap. Mrs Weiner you raised a real weiner.
IMHO…………………..they should be beaten about the head, neck, and ears with it.
Hmmmm, and the plot thickens.
The more they talk about Breitbart, the more sure we can be that its really about Weiner and always has been, Ever since he thot he was sending a private message and ended up sending out a public tweet… Have you ever noticed that the LEFT always has to have their whipping boy? When the Right recognizes SOROS for his agenda, the LEFT pretends that the Koch brothers are some kind of equivalent….THEY AREN'T. Now the RIGHT recognizes Weiner for his spitzeresque behavior…and the LEFT pretends that its all about the messenger…HUH?… I am surprised that they aren't beating up the poor girl he was hitting on.
sorry……………
…….i think he bumped his head while he was in there………..
…never mind……
This reporter better be careful, she may be considered an enemy belligerent and locked up indefinitely if John McCain's bill is passed.
I agree, but for his policies.
Nice, wiping off monitor now.
And you are implying…what…in my comment…that I don't read there?
and Larry Craig.
yep, whats missing is anything meaningful. Its like all we have is Breitbart fluff to cheer about.
I can't believe some Demonrats are trying to be like Republicans – voting no to raise the debt ceiling because they want spending cuts to go with it too. Democrats aren't supposed to do that… maybe all Republicans are RINO's.
Have we received verification Weiner's office actually called security on her?
Security showed up, but maybe they were in the next room and heard her whining like women do when they don't get their way.
Sorry to ask for a fact when we're having so much fun pretending a speculation is reality.
Facts to conservatives is like garlic to vampires.
Maybe democrats in swing districts saw what happened in the mid-terms, know Obama is no longer the messiah to a vast number of Americans and realize if they don't pretend to give a crap about spending out great-grandchildren's future away, they'll be out of jobs.
Politicians would never put their career above ethics or throw someone under the bus, now would they?
A good dog owner disciplines his dog.
"Or maybe he preys on women young enough to be his daughter."
Well maybe he does. If we're talking about grown women in their 20s before he was married, then more power to him. They're probably preying on him (status, wealth, power) as much as he's preying on them (prestige, arm candy, sex).
If we're talking about underage girls, he'll deserve worse than he gets. But making or implying that accusation before all the evidence and explanations are heard is as evil as the act itself if it turns out to be untrue.
And if this liberal Democrat, or any other politician, Democrat or Republican, stalks underage girls, engages in perverse acts, distributes obscene pictures, or betrays his own wife, then his credibility and respectability are destroyed; and he should be ceremoniously kicked out of office.
Character matters. But if people jump to conclusions and make or imply ugly accusations that turn out to be untrue, their character is no better, and they will… and should… lose all credibility themselves.
I agree with Eileen for Freedom. We should hold our tongues until the truth is out.
I agree with you. I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt and hold our tongues until all the truth comes out.
I'm inclined to think this whole "scandal" involves something more on the level of a poorly conceived and executed prank, or an embarrassing internet communications blunder, maybe by Weiner himself or his wife. Maybe that's why he doesn't want to answer embarrassing questions or get thoroughly investigated. As you say, "Well one never knows… what goes on behind closed doors…RIGHT?" Right. And if the door inadvertently got left open a crack, those unintentionally exposed should not be expected to give a detailed public account of their private activities.
If Weiner has done something bad then he'll deserve what he gets, maybe more. But as far as I know, no one has claimed to be a victim or that he has harmed them in any way. My concern is that until some seriously incriminating facts are revealed all the speculation and accusations going around are no more than prurient gossip that has great potential to bring discredit and shame upon those spreading it.
When a conservative says, "Any way" it can be assumed she/he means "Any legitimate way"… because we are not like them.
And just how is Breitbart "getting away with a smear job" by linking to a report ON CBS2 NEWS NYC?
Good lord you leftists are stupid or can't you simply follow a link? Is that too difficult to accomplish or do you require a check from the government to motivate your little fingers?
your remark is a shinning example of what I dislike about this site,……
simple minded backwoods hicks.
Ask yourself,……why did he put quotation marks around the word
SMEAR in his comment….?????
oh wait a minute,.maybe you are trying to be sarcastic too.
try and stay on my good side next time.
"Politicians would never put their career above ethics or throw someone under the bus, now would they?"
I would call that, business as usual, for our politicians.
Maybe so otherwise. I would hope it is because some Democrats put the importance of reducing deficit high enough they're willing to vote against the party to take some action on it. I can hope anyway. More likely I should just put the crack pipe down. Your rhetoric about "messiah" is a bit ridiculous at this point in time when Obama's approval numbers are up from last November, you know, since he delivered victory in the War on Terror.
But you're not a conservative if you're not ridiculous, so no biggie.
