The Times article paints Cordova in a light that is shockingly different from the other Weiner women. She comes across as an innocent, if naive girl who happened to get unlucky in the politician she decided to support.

This is quite “shocking” coming from a female journalist’s perspective. I would assume you would at least empathize with this young lady. Why did you presume that she was some sort of skank? Did you not give her the benefit of doubt as being an innocent bystander in all this who just happened to be collateral damage? This woman also did NOT receive the tweet sent to her, neither did she have any inappropriate relationship with Weiner. Weiner deleted the tweet (that was intended for her) almost immediately but a keen follower of his, grabbed a screenshot & saved it. The Seattle college student only saw the RE-POSTING of that offending tweet in the news. She did NOT receive the actual twit-pic. She did not have a “relationship” with Weiner either. That infers an exchange of lurid material between them taking place — a fact which never happened. It’s quite unfortunate for you to be “shocked” she was not compared to the other women who actually had exchanges that were sexual in nature with the congressman. Warranted criticism…I think. I don’t see how any of this would be a “joke” to her. Her life has been disrupted. She is in the news…and not for good reasons! If anything, it’s a wonder why you don’t see her NOT seeing any of this as being a joke.

Direct Comparison: Gennette C’s Statement and Weiner’s Cover Up Advice

Here’s something interesting. Consider how similar Weiner’s coaching on a proposed statement, as sent to Ginger Lee, is to Gennette C’s actual statement to the NY Daily News. What follows is the last third of Gennette’s statement interspersed with Weiner’s advice to Ginger Lee in red type:

Your implication being she was in fact coached by Weiner, I assume. I’ve followed this girl on Twitter since this story broke, and I must say by everything I’ve seen she seems to be quite intelligent and eloquent and fully capable of writing the statement attributed to her all by her lonesome. I gather she’s a journalism major so it makes sense.

Just because the statement she crafted is similar to what Weiner coached someone else to craft doesn’t mean he helped her. People can independently come to the same conclusions, and the statement she wrote was pretty generic for what one would expect from an innocent person in this case. Which, coincidentally, is why Weiner coached the other one to say what Cordova ended up saying.

This Mediaite article is about how “surprised” and innocent Gennette is. I’m just putting a couple links out there so that people can inform themselves and draw their own conclusions. Myself, after reading the Verumserum posting, think Gennette was coached by Weiner’s PR firm. I don’t believe in coincidences. That doesn’t mean that she is inarticulate. To me it just raises more questions about her honesty and involvement with Weiner. As most intelligent people can conclude, Sexters don’t just come right out with the goods right away as Weiner did DMing Gennette the Weiner pic. There has to have been more interaction and pics before that was sent.
Also, if Weiner coached one of his sexting partners on how to craft their excuses, then he coached them all, or it wouldn’t have been effective.

This makes a number of baseless assumptions. “I don’t believe in coincidences”? I’d challenge that if it were worth it. I really don’t care about any of this crap either way.

As I understand “the joke”, they had communicated about the little army of prescient detractors who had been @replying her on messages accusing him of being a “predator” and having an “inappropriate” relationship with some of his Twitter followers, so he felt it “funny” to send her the type of message of which he had been accused.

Then, perhaps he thought better of it realizing that the joke was too abstruse or maybe he simply realized that he had failed at sending DM, I’m not exactly sure.

Fact: If she votes as a democrat I can see where nothing is too funny anymore.

I too have made jokes even though I knew that no one would find it funny but me. I regret that.
