Article.
Shocked. Completely, 100% shocked.
No, really - we all bought the "my twitter was hacked" story.
Go resign, dip shit.

Politicians are all pretty dumb, but at least they usually have a sense of self preservation. This guy lacks even that.

I thought he was on the record saying he pronounces it with an 'ee.'
I could be wrong. I heard that 2nd hand.

It's more fun if they both mean penis. I'm not really concerned with details.

Old Man Weiner would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those blasted kids (that we was sending his cock to).

msn.com had a lot of fun with this story yesterday. All day long one of their top headlines under "News" was "GOP leader wants Weiner out".
I chuckled.

I'm waiting for both Steny Hoyer and Kevin McCarthy to insist that he resign. Then the headline can be

Well, I get about 99% of my news from reading, but I'm in a doctors office, and they just said "weener" on CNN

How does the ... uh, dick, in question actually pronounce it?

I think it refutes your point. Ostensibly the media knows after this much time.

I wouldn't trust the media if they reported that the sun rose in the East.

Jon Stewart says it with the long e sound, and whatever else you might say about him he's usually pretty good about getting that sort of thing right.
