Twits from Senator Claire |
|
- Flying to Arnold on Air Force One. Nice, but have done this before so the thrill is gone
- Is going to be a busy day accompanying the President on the 100th day, so keep following me
- While following me, please remember to visit my donate@claire
- Oops, getting ready to land. Sure is faster than with commercial flights. I am second to descent, right behind the President
- A few more seconds? Better not, no need to fall on those steps in front of the media, and I need to kiss the welcoming committee.
- Will have to stop for now, but keep following. Will offer a full twit during the news conference. Who cares what these reporters are asking?
=======
If any has received the real twits from Senator Claire, I challenge you to post them side by side and compare with the above.
Twit twit.

1. shouldn't it be tweets? |
|
of course, not being on Twitter, maybe I'm wrong... (and maybe the "twits" was intentional...)
at least it wasn't Colbert's term...

I am not a twitter, either.
I feel sorry for the lonely souls who need "followers" to tell them what they are doing at every minute.

2. To be clear--you're making this shit up, yes? |
|
If not, I'd say Frog March That Self Absorbed Asshole From the Public Square.

8. "OMFG" as the kids say....and as their parents say, "Gag me with a spoon...." and as their |

grandparents and great grandparents say, "Fachrissake, what the hell is that stupid bullshit?"
The "real link" is just as bad. No wonder they call it TWITTER. It's the self-absorbed ramblings of twits, apparently.
If you're sitting in a limo with any public figure, even if it's not one as august as the POTUS, you shouldn't be poking at a keyboard. Unless, of course, she was sitting in the TRUNK, and getting bored back there....
Go ahead and call me an old fogey who's behind the times. I think that Twitter shit is crap. I imagine, like the little birdie, that there's the odd nugget of corn in that pile of crap, but I'll let someone other than ME find those gems. I think that's just "too too" as they say.

7. I doubt that twitting messages display correct spelling |
|
grammar and punctuation. I doubt that any twit would spell President with a capital P.
Oh well.
