Weinergate press gaggle be warned: the congressman (or at least his office) is now calling the cops on pushy media types.

It happened to CBS 2 reporter Marcia Kramer today when she showed up at Rep. Anthony Weiner's Washington office to ask the congressman (or, barring that, someone from his "jittery, worn-out staff") about that infamous pantsless Twitter photo. It did not go well. After wandering around the office for a bit while and demanding some answers from interns, Kramer ended up in the hall with a Capitol Hill police officers, who said they'd arrest her if she went back in and refused to leave. She didn't go back in.
