You know, a lot of political speech would have been much better on Twitter.

I actually like that Grassley’s tweeting, even if he does sound like he belongs on Xbox Live. I’m interested in there being more information from our elected officials, especially less-filtered information. Grassley’s messages are directly from him, typed on his Blackberry when the mood strikes him. Good for him.
I only hope he won’t profess an undying love for Edward Cullen.
How about “Woah, look at that new intern there, she’s hot. Oh wait, I’m married. @slickwilly” ???
Wife took me to play AGAIN. So boring I think I might die. #honest (@honestabe)
RT @jbooth BOOM, HEADSHOT! (@rblee)
Heh. “Silent majority” = “lurkers”. Nicely done.
While I totally agree with your point about the overall benefit of increased info from out elected officials, I have to say that I’m very much amused by the take from Wonkette on all of this:

Ha! Okay, that’s awesome.
