Weinergate Girl Elected 'Most Likely to Be Involved in Tabloid Scandal'

Sometimes high school students can be incredibly perceptive. Gennette Cordova, the 21-year-old college student at the center of Rep. Anthony Weiner's crotch shot scandal, seems to have had her fate sealed by her high school newspaper. In 2007, Cordova's classmates at Shorecrest High School in Shoreline, Washington designated her "most likely to be involved in a tabloid scandal." The superlative award was published in the school paper The Piper and shows Cordova shielding her eyes from the faux tabloid spotlight.

Little did they know that four years later she'd receive international attention after Weiner sent her a picture of his crotch via Twitter. It just goes to show, your reputation really does follow you post-high school.
