Grassley Tweets His Feelings
Sen. Chuck Grassley is famous Twitterwide for his tweeting style, and during the past few hours, the man has outdone himself.
It began Wednesday night, when the Iowa Republican took his frustration with the History channel to the Net.
“I turn to History channel frequently bc I like history,” the tweet of frustration began. “There is nevr any history unless u r an antique dealer.”
This is funny to us, because it is true for us, too.
“Change name!” he concludes.
His grumbly Twitter feed started up again later, when he began to live tweet the National Prayer Breakfast.
“I’m at 60th annual NatlPrayer Bfast(my 37th) PresO hasn’t arrives,” he twittered. “I’m hosting tabl ppl fr Sudan ArabEmirates Chicago So Carolina.”
Suddenly, Grassley began furiously tweeting the prayerful goings-on, thereby confusing the “@” sign, which denotes a Twitter user, with a hashtag, which organizes subjects and snarky asides.
This delicious mix-up culminates with the Senator inadvertently tweeting to a young woman (@natl) in Oakland, Calif., about the love of Jesus.
