Bulge Battle: Is the Weiner War Worth It?

As most of America knows by now, recently a picture went out from New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner’s Twitter feed to a pretty young coed, containing a picture of some bulging underpants.  The picture was quickly deleted from yfrog and Twitter, and Weiner claimed that his account was hacked.  A lot of folks seemed willing to give Weiner the benefit of the doubt, but then his actions, evasions and non-answer answers have only intensified interest in the story and speculation about what really might have happened.  Weiner denies that he sent the photo out; he does not deny that the picture is indeed his own.  Nor does he deny that he has Twitter conversations with a fairly select group of eligible young ladies, or with porn stars who insist that he Tweets to them are really quite, you know, innocent.
