Da TechGuy Suggests That

by Little Miss Attila on May 29, 2011

It looks bad for Anthony Weiner:

Congressman Weiner’s district is in NY. He is a man of some national prominence, a liberal who is not afraid of taking on conservatives directly. The phone message at his national office is personable and friendly. He is a regular guest on Morning Joe and is not shy about appearing anywhere. His national prominence dwarfs mine of course.

As of this moment 10:03 a.m. EST he has over 45K followers (45737 to be exact) I’m not one of them. He also follows only 194 people.

Until 48 hours ago one of those people was Genette Nicole Cordova tweetname @Gennette Noble the young lady who is at the center of this interesting event.

Just to remind you. Gennette Noble Genette Nicole Cordova is a 21-year-old college student in Seattle Washington. She writes for the college newspaper. She seems a fairly attractive young girl and until 24 hours ago I knew absolutely nothing about her. I doubt many people on the net did. It would be fair to say that her prominence compared to me is of the same proportion of my prominence compared to Joe Scarborough.

Yet until 48 hours ago she was one of the under 200 people Congressman Wiener followed on Twitter.

Run that through your head for a second.

In the last 24 hours her facebook account has disappeared. Her twitter account have disappeared. Her byline has disappeared from college papers. This shows someone is taking great pains to remove her from the net.

If one wants to believe the congressman’s story one can say she is just trying to avoid further unwanted publicity. One might be able to rationalize that.

One can’t rationalize the fact that until all of this came out, a New York Congressman of some national prominence was following her on twitter. I’m 48 years old and was impressed by being followed by Dana Loesch and Kathryn Lopez tell me how impressed a 20 something year old college girl would be by being followed by a congressman 3000 miles away?

Any person who uses twitter understands with this means. They also know two other things:

1. If two people follow each other on twitter they can send private messages unseen by others

2..The difference between a private message and a public one is two characters

@rsmccain This message is public

d rsmccain this message is private

The difference is a “@” sign and the letter “d”

This is why the MSM is desperate to kill this quickly; that is why the left side of the sphere will be crying Andrew Breitbart till their voices grow [hoarse]. It’s also why this scandal will not be able to be contained by the left.

Joe Scarborough knows twitter, he also knows Andrew Weiner; if he chooses to look at the follower numbers he will know what it means. That’s bad for Anthony Weiner, the left, and the MSM.

On the other hand, follow the second link above; Colby Halll of Mediaite points out that Weiner did follow a handful of students; politicians do, after all, have to shake hands and kiss babies.

Let’s hope that’s all it is. Ugh.

Wingnuts are smearing a second Jewish Member of Congress today?

Is today some kind of holiday on the fringe right calender?

It’s interesting to me that when you look at someone, all you see is ethnic identity.

What makes you such a bigot, Ponce?

Please don’t call attention to the fact that the Republican fringe right is trashing Jews today, LMA?

Can you believe 80% of Jewish Americans vote for Democrats each election?

I wouldn’t worry about it. After all, most of them are–in your parlance–“god botherers.”

As Ace says, definitely a “Member of Congress.”
