Late this [Saturday] afternoon, Kyle Griffin, producer of MSNBC’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, tweeted

Two other accounts, @StoneFlik and @RogerStoneGOP, also were suspended, apparently sometime today.

@StoneColdTruth and @RogerStoneGOP focused on media appearances by, political opinions from, and general news about Roger Stone, the notorious GOP operative. Multiple sources claim the accounts are not directly operated by Stone.

The move comes days after @StoneColdTruth teased a scandal story about Senator Al Franken; the next day, Los Angeles radio personality LeeAnn Tweeden went public with her claim that Franken had given her a crude and unwelcome kiss, along with a raunchy photograph of Franken apparently pretending to “grope” Tweeden.

Stone evidently got wind of the story the day before it was published; KABC admitted it had tipped off several news “partners”.

Tweeden’s case is not helped by her consensually raunchy “hands-on” introduction of Robin Williams from the same USO tour that makes the Franken photo look innocent by comparison:

Oh — there’s this, too…

But even more disturbing is the story behind the Franken photo itself — and its history. @DipswitchDan, a Twitter user in Wisconsin with experience in digital art and illustration, did a little bit of analysis on the photo of Franken pretending to “grope” Tweeden, and this is what he found, in two Twitter threads:

 

Okay, so we have a photo taken on a USO tour, copied by someone on the day Franken humiliated the sniveling, unctuous Norm Coleman by defeating him handily at the polls, and the involvement of notorious dirty trickster Roger Stone.

Call it a hunch, but methinks Tweeden’s time in the barrel is about to come, followed by the issuance of apologies to Senator Franken.

Which raises the question: does the suspension of two Stone-related accounts have anything to do with a collapsing political hit job?

‘Nuff said.
