"For once, 'boxers or briefs?' would be relevant." -- Slate's Christopher Beam in a Wednesday tweet. "Since Rep. Weiner 'can't say with certitude' if that's his junk or not, does that mean some poor sap might be Weiner's 'wiener doppelgänger'" -- Derek Hunter, conservative writer and radio host who helped found The Daily Caller, in a Wednesday tweet.

A pic that 'started out' of me in briefs will be tweeted shortly." -- Mediaite's Dan Abrams in a Wednesday night tweet. Incest Desk Alert "Kurt Bardella just sent me a press release: 'Darrell Issa to Elizabeth Warren: Clear your calendar'" -- WSJ's Victoria McGrane in a Wednesday tweet.
