Liberal Rep Anthony Weiner (D-NY) says he 'can't say with certitude' whether Twitter pic was of his crotch

(NYPOST.com) - Denying he ever sent a bawdy crotch photo of himself to a co-ed via his Twitter account, embattled Rep. Anthony Weiner said today he "can't say with certitude" whether it is or isn't a picture of himself.

Asked in an interview with MSNBC that aired this afternoon whether he could confirm or deny if the crotch shot was his, Weiner said, "I can't say with certitude."

Despite the bizarre claim, Weiner added, “I didn’t send that picture out."

Weiner's Twitter followers were exposed last Friday to a below-the-waist image of an aroused man's boxer-briefs in what appeared to be a private missive posted publicly by mistake.
