Report: Hazmat incident at Rep. Weiner's district office
By GottaLaff

My pal Gr8RDH just passed on a tweet from Ben at Politico:

benpolitico: Hazmat incident at Rep. Anthony Weiner's district office.

She said that Talking Points Memo just retweeted it, which means they give it credibility and are repeating the message.

More details when they become available.

2. Better be nothing, because they REALLY picked the wrong guy

otherwise.

3. It's probably some teabagger who took a whiz on the door

or something. That's hazardous material aplenty.

4. Breaking: Hazmat incident somewhere kind of near Cantor's office

if you lean over sideways and squint a little.

It was from a staffer's Splenda packet.

9. The downward spiral of the RW deviants continues.

Every time I think that this country is waking up to the the fact that people like Beck, Hannity, Rush etc.... are evil and or unbalanced, they find a new rallying point.

These are probably the kind of people who were always told that they don't play well with the other children or threatened to take their ball and go home if they didn't get their way every time.

Now they're grown up (maybe...maybe not) and dangerous as well as easily deluded.

10. ABC has more. He's had quite a week. A whole slew of garbage.

KEW GARDENS (WABC) -- A package with white powder arrived at Rep. Anthony Weiner's office in the Kew Gardens section of Queens this afternoon, the latest in an apparent string of threats stemming from his support of the health care bill.

Workers reported the discovery in the Kew Gardens Road office just before 1:50 p.m.

Nine people in the office were being checked out, although none were reported to be injured.

It was the latest in a string of several threats made against Weiner and apparently linked to the health care vote.

He has also received profanity laced letters with anti-Semitic rhetoric. One had a swastika and called him "Schlomo Weiner," among other things.
