Weiner’s Media Blitz Rivals Charlie Sheen’s

“Weiner Exposed.” The New York Post didn’t even have to reach into its arsenal of puns for this story. Rep. Anthony Weiner went on a media tour yesterday, one the Post calls the “biggest damage-control disaster since Charlie Sheen’s postmeltdown media blitz,” as questions about the crotch shot sent from the congressman’s account to that of a 21-year-old female college co-ed continued. He admitted the photo could be a self-portrait but refused to elaborate. When asked by the Post if he’d ever taken sexually-explicit photos, Weiner said, “There are photographs of me in the world, yes.”

Here’s the photo in question. It’s a screenshot from the Yfrog photo sharing service, as captured by the biggovernment.com website:

Not excited about answering more questions, Weiner called a CNN producer a jackass in an interview on Tuesday. He got aloong better with reporters in a series of interviews on Wednesday.
