Update: June 7, 2011 - There has been a call for an investigation to see if he improperly used funds while up to these shenanigans. Many in the US House of Representatives want him to resign.
Update: June 6, 2011 - Weiner admitted he has inappropriate internet relationships with several women. He even held a press conference about it!
Original article:
Rep. Anthony Weiner has been accused of sending a lewd photo from his Twitter account to a 21-year old college student. Supposedly the picture was of a man's nether region, wearing boxer shorts. He of course denies the allegation, saying his Twitter account was hacked. I think we'll never know the real story.
Now for the embarrassing part. I BET A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD THE SAME THOUGHT! BE HONEST!
I must be up front - I am addicted to spell checking. Many people are. You had the same thought too.
You are thinking, "His name is Weiner, you mean like a hot dog?" He is being accused of that and his name is what?
But alas, no. Not like a hot dog. I had to look it up on Google. The food item is spelled wiener (blush!). Remember the "i" before "e" rule? I remembered it, but second guessed myself, maybe it was one of those words that breaks the rule? But no, it is wiener.
No hate comments, please. I know a lot of people have the last name Weiner. But a lot of people also have the last name Wiener. Now we are all clear on the spelling?
Wiener is German for Viennese, or a German sausage named after Vienna. Wiener is not used in this context in Vienna.
