A staged performance of Anthony Weiner‘s creepy tweets, by Bill Maher and Jane Lynch.

Not safe for work! And it won’t do much for your faith in elected officials, either…

If you’re willing to assert your friend has a small penis, you should be willing to call him out for Tweeting pictures of his junk to women who aren’t his wife, and lying about it. Jon Stewart made amends last night for glancing over Anthony Weiner‘s tearful Monday press conference. He also sliced his hand open while making a blended strawberry drink. Probably funnier than the clip we posted above.

Jon Stewart went easy on his friend Anthony Weiner last night–who, by many accounts, is a narcissistic, self-serving, careerist, ass who doesn’t deserve protection. After all, it was only a few days ago Weiner was trying to have reporters arrested for coming to his office to ask him questions about a scandal he was clearly lying about.

Colbert wasn’t exactly tough on Weiner either, but much funnier about it. He also gave Andrew Breitbart a new nickname that we hope sticks: “The Edward R. Murrow of Congressional Wang Photos.”

Oh, Anthony Weiner, what were you thinking? In your pants and off the interwebs, please.

Married U.S. Congressman Anthony Weiner tearfully fessed up today that his Twitter account wasn’t, in fact, hacked and that he’d tweeted a picture of his junk to some young woman he didn’t know. After nearly a week of lies, Weiner was forced into confessing today after more reports surfaced about multiple women who said the Congressman had sent them glamor shots of his naughty bits. This came only a few days after Weiner called the police on a CBS reporter for showing up at his office to question him about the scandal.

Before Weiner could even take to the podium to sling his watery mess, Andrew Breitbart hopped up there to show off his “A” game. His site Big Government was widely bashed in the press for breaking Weinergate–mostly because Breitbart had no credibility after the Shirley Sherrod scandal. But, we hate to say it, he’s right about this one. And he’s expertly milking this story for all it’s worth.

Jon Stewart claims the illicit photo of the newly married Representative Anthony Weiner, sent to a young woman via Twitter, can’t possibly be Weiner. Why? Because he’s friend’s with Weiner, has seen him in his bathing suit, and the goods don’t match up.

Wow, this story just gets more and more uncomfortable.

The Woodward and Bernstein wannabes at Big Government just broke their latest story of import: Weinergate. Wildly important, we assure you. An anonymous BG blogger posting under the handle Publius somehow got hold of a private tweet sent from New York Representative Anthony Weiner‘s account to a young lady Twitter follower of the Congressman. That tweet contained an image of an underwear-clad man sporting what appears to be a generous stiffy. Potentially big news, considering Weiner recently married longtime Hillary Clinton aid Huma Abedin.

Weiner claims his Twitter account was hacked, as was his Facebook account. Which seems pretty plausible, because as dumb as our politicians are these days, the majority of them have the sense not to tweet pictures of their junk to random girls they don’t know. That’s what email is for.
