Rep. Anthony Weiner built his national liberal brand by delivering zingers on cable news, a PR strategy that threatened to turn a Twitter flap into a full-blown scandal Wednesday.
And his fellow New York Democrats are shedding few tears for the man they see as a newcomer to liberal piety and a media hog.Weiner’s TV-friendly style was on full display when he launched a media blitz to quell questions about a lewd photo that appeared on his Twitter feed last week.
When asked on MSNBC if he was the man pictured in the close-up photo of a man’s crotch, he replied: “You know, I can’t say with certitude.” He followed up with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer later in the day, saying coyly, “It certainly doesn’t look familiar to me.” Even when pressed by a group of reporters in a Capitol Hill corridor, he would say only: “There are photographs of me in the world, yes.”
