GOP senator: "Obama you got nerve while u sightseeing. We still on skedul/even workinWKEND"
Quick reminder to everybody: grown ups don't twitter.

Senator says Obama 'got nerve' to push lawmakers

Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley says that President Barack Obama "got nerve" to go sightseeing in Paris while telling lawmakers it's time to deliver on a health care overhaul.

Grassley, the top Republican on the Finance Committee, is key to any bipartisan health care deal. Using Twitter — the Internet-based social connection service allows users to send mass text messages called "tweets" — the Iowa Republican issued two angry "tweets" Sunday morning as the president wrapped up an overseas tour.

<snip>

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."


When the cockroaches take over civilization, I'll be the first in line to welcome their more enlightened rule.

3. Honestly, it took me a couple of read-thrus just to figure out what a skedul was
I was saying "skee-dull" out loud to myself over and over and sounding like an idiot. It sounds like an alien race from Star Trek.

7. Maybe it's just the thought of Republicans text messaging to kids that bothers me.
That sort of behavior doesn't have a good history.

By the way.... "being n intrn"? When did N become the leet way of typing "an"?

11. Ok that tears it!
I'm calling and emailing grassley (again) to bitch at him. Enough of his senselessness. He finally sent me a letter explaining his statement about how execs of failed banks should commit suicide.l He made that statement several months ago and I just got a letter three days ago. That fucker has no balls and needs to be held accountable.

14. Twitter makes everyone sound like a caveman
The next time that Obama tells Congress to get off their asses, he should include a line about "get off your twitter", just to mess with Grassley.

16. I can't believe Republicans think tweeting is going to help them.
They come across as a bunch of preteens, and that is just goddamned creepy. It reminds me of those pedophiles posing as teens so they can hone in on their underage online prey.

18. I agree.
Grassley's tweets are creepy. It certainly doesn't seem Senatorial at all.

20. Maybe he's worried about putting too much into the tubes?
I do find it amusing when morans express themselves directly, removing the mediation provided by slightly more intellectual associates and staffers.
