Twit Wisdom by Senator Grassley

Spread the love

As reported in today’s Boston Globe, eight year-old Republican Senator Chuck Grassley went straight to Twitter to vent his outrage at President Obama’s request that Congress deliver on the stalled healthcare reform legislation.

Grassley’s first tweet: “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.”

A short time later: “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’ve scanned through the Senator’s old twits looking for similar condemnations he must have issued every time President Bush said “I want that legislation on my desk” while vacationing at his ranch in Crawford, TX. I couldn’t find a single one. Call me crazy, but I suspect Twitter not having existed back then is only part of the reason.

  1. According to his website (man, THAT'S a scary place…) he's 75. He's old enough to know better.

  2. He must be eight years old if he's saying crap like that.

      Exactly! I don't mean he's literally eight years old. I think he's probably more like 170, although I haven't checked his birth certificate.

    Well, that's how you have to spell on Twitter if you want to fit more than two sentences worth of hypocrisy into their 140 character limit.

    Oh, good. Our elected officials are now spelling like 12 year old girls with their first cell phone. Progress!

    Demagoguery enters a new era of technology (and spelling).
