We give credit to The Hill for having the courage to start a very necessary new blog, Twitter Room, which nobly tries to capture all of the insane shit members of Congress write on their Twitters. Here’s something they picked up from Rep. Leonard Boswell’s Twitter yesterday — they even read LEONARD BOSWELL’S TWITTER, these Hill people! — about how his grandson will soon become a Man. [Twitter Room, Leonard Boswell]
He noticed his hair was shorter when he was running his fingers through it, I suppose?
Man, if my Grandpa was on twitter at all, much less speculating about my sex life on it, I’d kill myself four times.
Gee Congersman, maybe the boy has a new man friend. It’s all good. You’re from IOWA.
And the Twitterberries taste like Twitterberries!
So little time, so much to see…here…
strike that.
Thanks to the intertubes, embarrassment caused by family has a global reach and audience.
Ioway pols, reppin’ the crazy again!
This haircut? It’s the cut you get for your NAMBLA initiation, granddad.
The kid’s fifteen… do you really call his girlfriend a “lady friend”? Is this a Mrs. Robinson type situation?
Serolf Divad: She’s not his girlfriend, she’s his fuckin’ lady friend, okay man?

If the kid’s smart, he can leverage this embarrassment into a bitchin’ car when he gets his drivers license
Every boy should get his haricut before his first Boswell.
Oh my.
A new lady friend in his sights? Jesus is this kid a stalker?
Make sure to tweet some embarrassing anecdotes about your grandson when he was a toddler. And then what you had for lunch. And can you remember some song lyrics from the big band era?
I can’t believe he hasn’t updated us on this story for 19 whole hours. What base did your grandson get to, Lenny??? America needs to know!
God, you guys are sick. It’s only a grandfather proud of his grandson who is growing up. The old guy just wants video of it if the new haircut helps the boy nail that chick. “Do it, boy! Make your grandad proud!”
Again, you people have dirty, dirty minds.
He always gets a piece of the action. His grandson and him have quite the symbiotic relationship going on.
My Grandpappy was always my best wingman. We scored mad gash when we hit the bars together.
The kid is probably so embarrassed that his grandfather is a member of Congress from Iowa that this can’t possibly make it worse.
Old Leonard’s just hoping he can maybe get a taste.
Give your grandson a quarter so he can take his new lady friend for a sasparilla at the drug store, Grandpappy!
i think it’s normal for grandpa to be interested in his freshly shaven 15 year old grandson’s sex life.
At least Powell didn’t tweet that his grandson had a GILF. ‘Cuz, damn.
A new haircut, sure. But does the kid have a new pair of roller skates?
When I turned fifteen my grandpappy told my mom he was taking me fishing, then took me to his favorite whorehouse instead and told the madam to fetch her freshest girl and have her make me a man.
Isn’t that standard operating procedure?
Mild Midwesterner: Yes, he does. And, I’ve got a brand new key.
Hey Gramps! Fingerbanged in geometry class = the new “lady friend in sights”
Yes, the way that young men impress the ladies these days is by getting a haircut. Then they polish up the ol’ jalopy and drive around town in their letterman’s sweaters.
Onion on belt, also.
See this? It’s my grandson’s new haircut. Know what it means? He’s getting some f$%^ing pussy tonight.
Keep it in the coffee shop, Grampa! For gawdsakes…
“lady friend”
“ladyboy friend”
/fixed
Gopherit: WIN
AnnieGetYourFun: Don’t forget the raccoon coat!
This is definitely something my grandmother would do if she knew what Twitter was.
“What? I’m just tryin’ to help ya out!”
The grandson just doesn’t have the heart to tell grandpa his new “lady friend” is actually the “whole high school men’s soccer team.”
That is so old-person adorable that I can’t even make fun, gosh dangit.
Crab1: Win!
Barber probly tipped him off, after grandson requested ’something for the weekend’.
Oh, no more yankee my wankee, the Donger need food!
Automobile!?!
AnnieGetYourFun: Because that was the style of the time
Shouldn’t Congresspeople be seen and not heard?
this is the only reason that Twitter should be allowed to exist
Ol’ Lenny should be spending his days golfing and doing the daily crossword puzzle, bless his heart.
