Win.

@DrewMTips @davidsirota @AP Nice – I award Drew, twelve Sirota-air-punches for this.

As Twitchy reported, the Associated Press’ Twitter account was hacked today. The Dow plummeted moments after the hacked tweet, which claimed reports of explosions at the White House, went out. Hilarity, of course, ensued as Twitter users began to mock the AP.

Hardest hit? David Sirota and Anthony Weiner. Remember, Salon’s David Sirota hoped the Boston bombers would be “white males.” And disgraced junk-tweeter Anthony Weiner needs no further introduction. Take it away, Twitter!

@davidsirota I bet you are hoping the @AP hackers are white males, aren't you?

Has anyone asked @davidsirota for his expert opinion as to the race of the @AP hackers?

Heh. Conforms to new Style Guide. RT @Heminator: Whoa. AP just tweeted out a pic of Anthony Weiner's junk.

@nypost @AP Perhaps by Anthony Weiner, though it cannot be said with certitude.

Right now Anthony Wiener is screaming, "See, Twitter hacking happens." And thinking, "Why didn't I follow up with some crazy stuff?"
