Jon Stewart Raises Eyebrow At Rep. Weiner: ‘I Know What My Erect Penis Looks Like’

video
» 53 comments

Jon Stewart has been following all the latest developments in the Rep. Anthony Weiner Twitter scandal, and tonight reminded his audience that, as a friend of the Congressman, he was expecting a “reasonable-seeming explanation” from Rep. Weiner for all this. Instead, Stewart spent the segment shaking his head at how a man could possibly not know what his own penis looks like.

Stewart tried to start off the segment somewhat maturely, but that lasted about four seconds until a graphic with the headline “Anthony and Cleopenis” appeared.” It went downhill from there, until Stewart summed up the situation like this: “bottom line is, there was a junk shot.” As a friend, Stewart noted that “I was hoping that he’d have a very clear and strong reasonably seeming explanation” for the matter. Instead, he played a clip of Rep. Weiner’s interview with Luke Russert, where he said he couldn’t say “with certitude” who was in that picture. “Well, I guess that clears things up,” he joked.

He then went through his own personal list of things upon which he has certitude: “Empire Strikes Back is the best Star Wars movie; OJ killed those two people; what my erect penis looks like in my own underwear… from a bird’s eye view, of course.” He then added his hand as an afterthought to emphasize how easily he’d be able to recognize himself in such a photo: “I know my penis like the front of my hand that I used to get to know my penis.”

While Stewart promised to keep his audience “apenis” of any new developments, he kept tonight’s update short and dubious. At this point, it’s hard to predict what Weinergate Day 6 will bring.

    Someone should pull out the videos of Jon Stewart talking about Larry Craig or Mark Foley. You know the attacks were stronger and that they were designed to embarrass all Republicans.

    Only a dumb rightwinger would compare a CRIME (what Foley and Craig did) to what Weiner is allegedly being accused of doing here. This is comparable to what the GOP NY congressman did on CL. You know…the one who resigned his job. That is comparable.

    I gave Rep. Weiner the benefit of the doubt, and considered him innocent of all charges. But his comments, evasions and inexplicable behavior are raising more questions than they answer. I’ve now concluded that Breitbart probably uncovered something fishy here — although the exact details are still far from clear.

    If Rep. Weiner is really just a victim here, he would clearly want the FBI involved in tracking down the person who is responsible for this photo. But he has seemed reluctant to call attention to this who sleazy matter from day one. And now his answers to pretty simple questions are vague to the point of ridiculousness.

    Except mediate covers the media and the media is covering Weiner so I don’t know how much you can fault them. It does seem pretty excessive though.

  • WaterLoo

    Weiner is not contacting FBI; rather the “penis line up” will be conducted internally without the use of tax payer dollars. One must give Weiner praise for stretching his pocket not once but twice.

    The real crime here is that we’re forced to look at this nasty douchebag’s mug and hear his smug liberal douchbaggery. He won’t deny the picture’s his …. it’s the only thing that’s bigger than his ego, hideous personality, and that monstrous schnozz on his freakishly disgusting face. If it’s his, to him, it’s never looked better… It took him a long time to figure out Photoshop, he’s not going to let THAT go to waste.. (like his career, marriage and existence.) The media, yet again, goes all the way with it’s lack of integrity.. Oh YEAH. All the more reason to go the other way.. Weiner is the poster child for Narcissistic Liberal Lunacy ..

    I’ll remember you said this the next time Mediaite posts a story about some moron Republican who does something stupid. Shouldn’t be long.

    It’s not a serious matter, to be sure. It is however, utterly hilarious. A guy named Weiner, who’s a complete prick to anyone not in D clothing, gets caught sending photos of his weiner to a chick. You expect the people who have to deal with the behavior of this a-hole not to be happy when something bad happens to him?

    It’s called Karma, and this time it’s funny as hell.

    He’s a dick because he fights back against the crazies (and always sides with the middle class I might add), which is the real reason you all hate him. Whenever there is someone who fights for anyone but the big corps. they end up like this. Elliot Spitzer comes to mind, did you know the banks literally threw parties when he got booted?

    FACT: You should really seek professional help. Why all the name calling? Weiner might not have handled the situation in a way that would have stopped it from becoming a distraction but there is no proof that he sent “young girls crotch shots.” The “young girl” in question is 21 (well above the age of consent and even old enough to drink alcohol in the USA) and she didn’t even receive the allegedly lewd photo. He’s avoiding answering the question of whether or not the picture is of him, so I’m assuming it is. Crime? Not so much. “He stands for criminals”? Don’t even know where you’re going with that. The guy “is a funk nasty”? No idea. I stand by my original suggestion: get help. At the very least you’re in danger of having a stroke (depending on which kind of stroke it is…it might actually help alleviate some of the pressure) and at the very worst? Not good. Take it down a few notches. Not everything is THEM vs. US. **Oh. I just saw your avatar. I think I might be wasting my breath.**

    Fact: Let me guess. A democrat?

    Mark Foley didn’t violate any laws, 16 is the age of consent in DC and all he did was send a few IM’s with naughty questions. He resigned because Republicans usually have morals and when they get caught doing something morally wrong, they know their careers are basically over.

    Right. When Republicans do it, they’re ostracized by other Republicans. When Dems do it, they’re embraced and even get standing ovations from their fellow dems.

    You do realize that when you say Breitbart is a “serial liar” – you lie? You do know that he hasn’t lied about anything? Sorry, even Matthews corrected Walsh. Sorry you have to lie to try and further your point. In fact, I’m truly sorry that you are unable to stay on topic, be honest and act like a grown up.

    No Greg, you have it wrong.

    As is far too common with GOP narratives in this day and age, you are taking things out of context to prove a fallacious point.

    When did the Foley Scandal happen?

    It was in the Fall of 2006.

    What was going on in 2006?

    Several members of the GOP (to which Foley belonged) were adamantly ramping up anti-gay rhetoric, and making the demonization of gay love a campaign platform.

    That very summer, George Bush was fighting to actualize a constitutional ban on gay marriage.

    As the war in Iraq raged (with several revelations about the atoricities commited, say, at Abu Gharaib or by KBR), the GOP actively scapegoated on LGBT rights, claiming that same sex marriages were a “greater threat than terrorism.”

    Please… this wasnt too long ago, and I cant believe you have forgotten so quickly.
    http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/27/us/politics/27marriage.html?hp&ex=1162008000&en=bb70e8d08855d229&ei=5094&partner=homepage

    Mark Foleys scandal broke JUST AS THE REPUBLICANS WERE FERVENTLY RAMPING UP ANTI GAY RHETORIC!

    THAT is what made him such a hypocrite, and embarassment to his own party.

    Also, Mark Folley EXPLICITLY SENT THE MESSAGES TO HIS PAGES, AND CONTACTED THEM DIRECTLY… there was no hacking involved, as theyre seems to be with Weiners case.

    Take a look at Larry Craig… would his scandal (attempting to solicit ananymous sex with a male officer in an airport restroom) have been so scandelous if he HAD NOT SPENT ALMOST ALL OF HIS CAREER ADAMANTLY FIGHTING AGAINST LGBT RIGHTS?

    THAT was the big issue there… his HYPOCRISY.

    The same With Safford, who spoke so obstinately against gay love, and for what he called “family values”, while simultaneaously having a high-class hooker on his tab.

    And what about Newt Gingrich?

    During the 90s, Newt kept almost ALL political and media resources focused on the boring, stupid, inconsequential Lewinski scandal, and even PLAYED OFF Bin Ladnens open declration of war against the US as a”distraction” from the Starr report (priorities, eh?).

    The entire time, Newt was having the exact kind of affair that he was roasting Clinton for… in fact, Newt had several.

    For over a decade Newts hypocrisy and double standards were open to public view, and the republicans STILL insisted that he was a grand and honest politician.

    They NEVER held him accountable for his hypocrisy or his affairs.

    It was only when Newt recently suggested that political discourse required MODERATE VIEWPOINTS that the GOP turned on him.

    The GOP didnt abandone him because of his indiscrections and blatant hypocrisy. They had at least 10 years to address those issues.

    They abandoned him when he talked about being moderate and fair.

    THAT speaks volumes.

    Jon Stewart and the Daily writers, nice job!

    Weiner needs to come clean and tell us this was consensual adult horn doging between the two or an accident/hack. He should not resign if this is the case.
    If he is sending out unrequested cox pics to women he doesn’t have a consensual romantic relationship Weiner is a creep and needs to start hanging out in DSK’s new bit chin’ bachelor pad and further learn the fine arts of creedom.

  • Nature Freak

    BTW, if your a guy and have a sex scandal, Weiner is not a good German surname to have, at least in America.
    I bet Weiner now wishes he had a good wholesome German name likes Schmitt or Eisen.

    should read “fine arts of creepdom.”
