To keep them from using, or to keep them from embarassing themselves when they do use it, or to keep too many state secrets from wafting out into the ether because these morons are still back in the 19th century and think a Twitter message only goes to the person they sent it to?

Or to prevent the next round of "I was not giving that page a blow job in the men's room, I was just looking for my contact lens"?

Alright, poop time

I don't care if its Twitter, if a Senator spells it "skedul" he deserves to be tarred and feathered

 
The RIchest Man in Babylon 2009-06-07 09:24:31 PM  
Tweets in question:

"Pres Obama you got nerve while u sightseeing in Paris to tell us 'time to deliver' on health care. We still on skedul/even workinWKEND."

And shortly thereafter;

"Pres Obama while u sightseeing in Paris u said 'time to delivr on healthcare' When you are a 'hammer' u think evrything is NAIL I'm no NAIL."


I weep for the English language.

No sir, you are FAIL.

I'll see you and raise you:

This is more than just standard-issue Twitter douchebaggery.

This is ROARING DRUNK Twitter douchebaggery!

Seriously, even with the need to keep it to 140 characters, the particular shorthand he used here makes it seem like he was intentionally going "ghetto". There has to be some alcohol-related assistance to make a U.S. Senator seem that belligerent and clueless all in one fell swoop.

You, Senator, are beyond mere FAIL, and have soared into an orbit of FAIL all your own.

For some reason, the use of the term "Congresscritters" always makes me want to insert my foot vigorously into subby's anal canal.

But "Congresscocksuckers" takes up too many characters.

I'm all for them having Twitter accounts.

For entertainment value alone.

Every time the Obamas go out on a date, the Republitards go all apoplectic about it. "He should be in his jammies getting ready for bed, like Bush!"

MuadDib: But "Congresscocksuckers" takes up too many characters.

In my mind, the word Comgressman/Congressperson presupposes the person you're talking about is a greedy. ignorant idiot who's out for their own-self advancement and to serve the interests of whoevers pocket they're in.

As Mark Twain said a century ago, "Suppose I am a Congressman. Suppose I am an idiot. But I repeat myself".

And the only people dumber than those in the House and Senate and those who believe their Congressperson is the only honest man or woman in the building.

 
UNC_Samurai [TotalFark] 2009-06-07 10:34:50 PM  
Grassley is only sticking around in Congress because he's been promised a top committee seat after 2010.

So, what was your response to Grassley's tweeting?

I know there's a minimum 35 year old age limit for the President...is there something similiar for senators?

Fer cryin' out loud, Senator Grassley sounds as though he's a junior high school student...and not one who's made the Dean's List, either.

Not nearly as smart as he thinks he is, power-mad, smug, probably intoxicated, and certain everyone is hanging on his every brainfart as if he were the Oracle at Delphi... how is that not normal for a Senator?

I would like to think most wouldn't devolve into Tweet speak even on Twitter. My 11 year old son would be embarrassed by those posts.
