Why doesn't he just get the Police involved? If he does they will clear him. If they don't, we will know he is a liar. Simple.
If he really did take a picture of his own crotch to send out to selected people on his facebook and twitter he ought to just admit it take his public flogging and be done with it. It would be in very poor taste to be sending out pictures of your crotch especially if you are an elected official this is the kind of behavior you might expect from a 5th grader, so his possible re election bid isn't looking so good. When will elected officials and cheating spouses learn that once you hit that send button it's out there forever and it will haunt you forever, so in the end is it really worth it to crack that joke by sending that picture or putting out that risky tweet, I sure don't think so......
