COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Aides to the Republican speaker of the Ohio House say his Twitter account was hacked by a person who tweeted support for liberal causes.

The Columbus Dispatch reports that in other phony posts Speaker William Batchelder appeared to criticize Republican Gov. John Kasich (KAY'-sihk) or promote former Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland.

House Republican caucus spokesman Mike Dittoe says someone who follows Batchelder on Twitter noticed the tweets Monday night. A GOP attorney had the company eliminate the messages.

1. What, no underwear pictures? Why did he delete the messages? He must be guilty.

9. It's only the anti-gay family values folks on the right that
constantly obsessed with a man's turgid member. Attacks from the left seem to revolve around "truth" instead of "porn".

2. Interesting
When it's a repug, the media does not even speculate on the truth of his hacking claim.

4. Or was it?
Maybe that was really his own "junk"?

5. I'm kinda kidding, but it wouldn't surprise me if he tweeted it himself
and claim his account was hacked so they have a "liberals do it, too" response to the breitbart hack.

6. According to some DU'ers, it wasn't hacked unless he has the police/Feds investigate.

7. What, he didn't immediately call in the FBI? Isn't that what
teabaggers are telling us must be done?

8. So was it an alleged picture of his anatomy? if not, it won't make the news.
and the meme will continue to obsess on Weiner's hacking.

sex and even fake sex sells.

hacking for a political statement, well, sadly, few people pay attention.
