New York Rep. Anthony Weiner has been engulfed in the center of a political sex hoax. Weiner was a part of an elaborate scheme that made it look as though he tweeted a picture of himself in his underwear to Gennette Cordova, a Seattle-area student who received the infamous erection underwear picture from Weiner’s Twitter.

Since then, Weiner has hired a lawyer to investigate what steps should be taken regarding the lewd photo scandal. The Congressman said that the photo was a prank and nothing more and that police action wasn’t necessary.
“The incident was a prank,” he told the New York Post. “It was intended to distract. I’m not going to let it do it.” Weiner continued, “At a time when the GOP is playing games with the debt limit, a member of the Supreme Court is refusing to recuse himself from matters he has a financial interest in…I don’t. This was a prank, and a silly one. I’m focused on my work.”
