Just when you thought the Twitter fad was some dumb fucking thing nobody would possibly actually use — our Intern Juli was recently shocked to find it’s nothing but “an anthology of away messages? on a website?” — there is proof that it could change democracy forever. Republican congresswoman Marsha Blackburn of the Nashville suburbs is now at the center of a powerful Twitter storm, as somebody somewhere remarked that her teeth are terrible, and therefore she must be a chain smoker, like every other 52-year-old blonde in Tennessee.
Here is the blockbuster “tweet” that has rocked the congressional race in whatever district:
I just noticed this for the 1st time - does Marsha Blackburn smoke? http://www.twitpic.com/a8vj - what is that stain on her 2 front teeth?
Blackburn was quick to issue a shameful non-denial:
“In the midst of a Middle Tennessee fuel crisis, debate over a $700 billion dollar bailout to avert a possible Wall Street crisis, and a significant Republican victory on energy; you can understand why I won’t comment on every random tweet out there.”
Yes, whatever, smokin’ congresslady. Go enjoy your Capri 100s.
A Cancerous Tweet [Politics: Nashville Post]
People use Twitter? Wow.
Anyhoo they must mean that she’s a smokin’ hawt cougar, because otherwise meh.
Nice Merle Travis reference in the alt-text.
“That’s a dip stain, you shitbirds.”
I’d cut off the Lord’s fifth testicle to never hear the stupid fucking ‘word’ Twitter ever again.
Does she comment on targeted Tweets? Why does she hate Tweets’ freedoms?
Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em!
She likes smoking teh meths.
“…possible Wall Street crisis…” ahahaha.
Give the lady a break. Any good GOP woman is driven to smoking, a few cocktails, and maybe the odd prescription. I mean, who wouldn’t? Most of the GOP men seem to be chasing male interns, hanging out (literally) in public restrooms, or chasing younger and richer women.
…Meth Rot?
SwanSwanH: FTW.
Her teeth aren’t any worse than Walnuts’. I thought he got his from rimming lobbyists.
Weird. It sort of does look like a smoking stain: http://www.twitpic.com/a8vj Although, personally, I’d rather talk about her craaaaazy eyes. She and WALNUTS! would make a most amusing ticket. Opportunity missed!
Question: Congresswoman, do you smoke after sex?
Rep. Blackburn: I dunno. I never looked.
…geez, they are right her teeth really are fukked up
Despite what Democrats think, the internet generation is not ready to decide an election.
AngryBlakGuy: …left the link out! here
As a coffee-drinking Brit, can I just say TEETH AREN’T MEANT TO BE WHITER THAN WHITE-OUT. Also, straight teeth is a sign of a crooked mind.
V572625694: Ha, thanks! One of the great western-swing songs.
I absolutely, wholeheartedly, HATE this woman! She was on Larry King and made the comment that “ALL women identify with Caribou slut Barbie”
The Republican victory on energy?
Thats like the victory of the bull over the cape.
Ahhh Capri 100s. The cigarette of choice for the inner-city receptionist set. Which is why I weep when I’m out and have to bum from the receptionist. They’re menthols, too. Ghetto Breath Mints!
iwillsavethispatient: Next you’ll say that presidents aren’t meant to be white! STAY OUT OF THIS, EUROPE!!
It should be noted that the very female Rep. Blackburn prefers to be referred to as CongressMAN Blackburn:

Presumably, because of feminists and their quest for accurate gender nomenclature or something…
High res Marsha pic here. Smokers’ teeth? We report, you decide.
“…you can understand why I won’t comment on every random tweet out there.” = I’d rather fight than switch!

Pole smoking?
But, holy shitballs, she does have teh crazee eyesbalz. Wonder who would win a Miller Lite girl fight between her and Michelle Bachmann?
V572625694: don’t forget tex williams
SystemError: Kinda makes the “Check out photos of Congressman Blackburn” link on her page take on a new kinky meaning.
Thank god for another good looking trashy conservative female politician.
Sarah Palin is so yesterday…
Marsha,
Smoking will stunt your growth:
and leave you looking like a crack whore:

She’s come a long way, baby!

Elmer Fudd thinks that Marsha would wather be up to her twicks than weading her tweets.
S.Luggo: Well now we know what she was doing in the ’80s, except they called it freebasing back then.
S.Luggo: So will voting Republican.
I hat Republicans as much as the next guy, But:
If children are given tetracycline during those years when their tooth enamel is forming their teeth can acquire a yellow-brown or, more typically, a blue-grey staining. For this reason, tetracycline (and related antibiotics) are seldom prescribed for children eight years and younger or for pregnant women. (The use of the minocycline has been reported to cause tooth staining even in adults.)
STOP IT! Stop calling her that. She does not like to be called Congresslady or Congresswoman. She insists on being called “Congressman Blackburn”.

Very good site, excellent content, I will recommend to my group of readers in college too, I will leave an input —- Women smokers By now, we are all aware that smoking is bad for you. Yet more and more women are taking up the habit, in part due to the media image presented of gorgeous women smoking cigarettes and presenting a glamourous image. What kind of effects does this have on women’s health, and what can we do about it?
