Mashable! - Stephen Colbert Uses Twitter To Poke Fun at Weiner Scandal [

Last weekend, a lewd photo was sent via the Twitter feed of New York Rep. Anthony Weiner to a young college student in Seattle. The congressman has been in interviews all week, stating that his account was hacked and that he did not send the snap — still, he has refused to say with “certitude” whether the pic was him or not. Enter Stephen Colbert to mock the whole ordeal.

The Pic Heard Round The Blogosphere — which is actually a rather tame snap of gray underwear hiding, er, anatomy — has set off a storm of speculation in the blogosphere, particularly on the site Big Government, headed up by publisher Andrew Breitbart. Big Government was apparently first to break the story, which it has dubbed “Weinergate.”

Weiner recently stated that his office is conducting an internal investigation using an outside firm to look into the origin on the pic, but has n ot outright stated that it wasn’t his photo, raising the suspicion of many a news source.

In response, Colbert has taken to Twitter, posting a series of suggestive photos that resemble genitalia with the text: “I cannot say with certitude that this is not part of my body. http://tinyurl.com/3292rjd #ivebeenhacked.” The first photo features a man’s lap (presumably Colbert’s) and was sent using yfrog, the same service that the picture on Weiner’s account was posted via.
