Why didn't you mention that this smear is being promoted by serial liar Andrew Breitbart, who has made a career of going after liberal targets as part of an ongoing smear campaign?
And you guys are giving this air.... why?
So. Breitbart was to the first to notice it. How convenient.
Who ever smelt it, dealt it.
Who ever found it, ground it.
Who ever discovered it, uncovered it.
And it didn't take him long to notice that it was there, either. Interesting.
Right, a hacker did it!
Okay, this story has gone from "it took the picture while in my pocket and posted automatically" to "the blackberry was stolen" now to "it was a prank posted by a hacker".
Just admit it. You got beaten down by technology and are unable to retract a stupid mistake.
Another sleazeball politician potentially bought down by social media posts.
Yea I am sure it is a prank. ROFLMBO . This guy is a pompous jerk!!!!!!!!
