A spokesman for New York Representative Anthony Weiner says a lewd photograph sent from the Democrat’s Twitter account is just "a distraction" perpetrated by a hacker.

Weiner spokesman Dave Arnold told The Associated Press in an email Sunday the Twitter episode was "a distraction" from the congressman’s "important work representing his constituents".

The photo showed a man’s bulging underpants. It first was reported by BigGovernment.com, a website run by conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart. The site said the photo was tweeted to a woman in Seattle.
