A wireless microphone is actually made up of two (or three, depending on whether or not you count the antenna) pieces. You have the microphone, which is the small black cylinder you see clipped on the lapels of TV interviewees. The microphone is attached by cable to the transmitter box, which includes a battery, power switch, volume slider, and belt clip (the antenna is attached to that transmitter box). Therefore, one could very easily grasp the microphone in their hand and whirl the transmitter box around.
If you want to really analyze the whirling, while it is theoretically possible (you have a cable and a massive object on the end of it - that's all you need) to whirl, it may not be useful in this situation, as the microphone and cable could very well pop out of their socket in the transmitter box, thus allowing the transmitter box to follow its natural trajectory tangent to the circular whirl-path.
Oh well.
