Do you all really not realize why he’s not denying it’s him?
You can take a photo of just about anything, manipulate it via photoshop, crop and enlarge it so that a tiny bit of it is now the entire picture, change the color and the orientation, and render it completely unrecognizable. This “picture” could be of a wrinkle in someone’s teeshirt near a seam line, put together with some white and some skin. If Weiner flat out denies the picture is of himself, and it later turns out that it is even in part a tiny segment of some bigger picture of himself, turned upside and sideways, he’ll be called a liar. When asked if the picture was of him, he repeatedly said that what with photoshop, he couldn’t say for sure.
With what photoshop can do, could any of us say definitively that that picture didn’t originate with us ourselves? I’m a woman, and I couldn’t say for sure that that picture didn’t have some portion of it originating in a picture of me (although I’d certainly guess it wasn’t, since I don’t think I have any pictures of me on the web at all). Here’s the picture. Could you be so certain? You know what photoshop-type programs can do. It’s not like it’s difficult.
As for hacking his account, Rachel Maddow found people on the web who reproduced similar results (a tweet purportedly from someone else linking to a photo the someone else purportedly posted) in, if I’m not mistaken, about 12 seconds. Again, not difficult.
