An elected official is unloading on Congressman Anthony Weiner -- Representative Mike Ball says Weiner made a bonehead move by publishing his penis pic on the Internet.



Ball, an Alabama State Legislator, tells us, "It was foolish for [Weiner] to send the photos but folks don't always think about the consequences before they do stuff. Social Networking is a double-edged sword."

"The thing is, the Internet is shrouded in anonymity and social networking can also be used as a way of exposing one's weaknesses ... no pun intended."

You can say that again.
