U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner says he didn't Twitter a picture of his Weiner... My Twitter account was hacked!

WASHINGTON - Weiner jokes apparently never grow old.

Twitter followers of Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Brooklyn) got an eyeful late Friday night when a hacker posted a lewd crotch-shot photo from his Twitter account.

The photo of a man's bulging gray briefs - no face visible - was sent to only one female Twitter user, but was visible to all 45,000 of the lawmaker's Twitter followers.

His staff said both his Facebook and Twitter accounts were hacked.

The congressman noticed the hack almost immediately and removed the photo himself. But it had already been retweeted and grabbed by several followers, and appeared on Conservative websites.

Weiner soon posted his own tongue-in-cheek response.

"Tivo shot. FB hacked. Is my blender gonna attack me next?" he joked, later adding: "Touche Prof Moriarity. More Weiner Jokes for all my guests!"
