The Daily Caller Stands Firm on Weiner Poll

Yesterday we brought you news of a Weiner Poll being conducted by The Daily Caller. The poll ran two pictures. One: the bulging male package in gray underpants. Two: Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) cropped at the waist. They asked readers to decide whether the picture tweeted to that 21-year-old female college student in Seattle is Weiner. Weiner, who initially said he was hacked, now calls the incident a “prank.”

A female journo who covers Capitol Hill wrote into FishbowlDC and asked,  “Are they serious? Would they ever get to run something like this of a female politician?”

Daily Caller Spokesman Kurt Bardella had this to say on the matter:  “1) Are you seriously asking us if we’re serious?  2) We would never run a photo-comparison of a female politician’s alleged weiner, whether or not she allegedly twittered it to someone else.
