One of Washington’s “most influential Twitterers,” Newt Gingrich, and a failed RNC chair candidate, Saul Anuzis, are threatening to sue their favorite web-based application after noticing that one of its popular features can easily be abused to humiliate them. A pro-Employee Free Choice Act twat called “EFCANOW” has been tagging Gingrich and Anuzis to make them look like supporters of EFCA — they aren’t — which then alerts Gingrich’s 238,000 and Anuzis’ 8,000 followers to the EFCA’s message. Now they want to SUE because this is a LIE, on Twitter. This is hilarious. All of you active twats out there should follow Jason Linkins’ example and tag Gingrich with terrible things. “Join @newtgingrich for Nazi-themed gay child rape party @ his mom’s house,” etc. [The Hill, Huffington Post]

I guess this is reason enough to take up twittering as a hobby. This will never get old for me.
“A pro-Employee Free Choice Act twat called “EFCANOW” has been tagging Gingrich and Anuzis as supporters of EFCA”
Are people sure he/she is for the EFCA? Let’s face it, there’s not many ways to make people fight against something than having Newt support it (except maybe Cheney supporting it).
That’s what happens when you try to be hip, Newt!
DO NOT let Newt come to the Maple Syrup Sodomyfest. He ruins everything and hogs all the syrup! MOMMMMM!!!
Yet another clueless, Republican ass-wart learns that the internet is not their friend.
Newt wants twitter to eat ballz and die. Turns out he and I do have some common ground
This is hilarious.
Is this hilarious? I can’t even tell anymore.
HA! Does anyone else see the “FREE EMAIL FROM NEWT” ad? If his Google moniez helps support Wonkette, then I take back the whole “ass-wart” thing*.
*Everyone knows he is a “clogged cock-hole”, anyway.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Love love love sunshine. This just makes me happy.
I do not understand this twittering well enough to understand this erudite techie post. Seems to an old fellow like me that twittering should be musical, but no tweets emanates from my twitts. And no “beans” or “tit” joke, please. Thank you.
I believe that there should be more wholesome get-togethers among our politically aware youth, so I think that all these twits “tweeting” twerps and twats may indeed be a good thing.
And Newt is truly forever young, so I deem it appropriate.
Haha, back to chest thumping and bellowing into the night for the Repubs.
“Some of Anuzis’s followers have been duped into signing the petition, Anuzis told The Hill on Monday.” So what they’re really mad about is their own “followers” are too stupid to know how to read?? Go ahead and sue Twitter. The only ones who will be impressed are the olds who think everything they don’t understand is evil. But many of them will be dead by 2012 — too bad for you, Newtwat.
The possibilities are endless, really. Not that I know how Twitter works either, but think about it… McCain, etc… what can we tag their Twitter accounts to?
[re=317021]SmutBoffin[/re]: My ads keep switching between “Free Newt!” (I didn’t even know he was in jail; I want to keep him there) and a very similar one featuring a hideous Adam’s-appled blond skeleton beast.
Yeah, it’s particularly funny because Newt poses as the uber-technogeek of the Republican party, which means, essentially, he can turn his Blackberry on. How much fun we’ve had over the years with the open-registration comments, the Google tagging, and now this! Thanks for the endless source of entertainment you provide to the geekosphere.
twat
That’s it; a-twatting I shall go. First up: Ass-fucking aborted crack babies in Granny’s meth lab @limbaugh @michaelsteele.
Gawd! More techno lightweights. Right now they’re probably screaming at some help desk drone about not being able to delete a website that’s saying bad shit about them.
Hey Newt, you have to reinstall Windows if you want to change the desktop background. Also.
I am going to start a Twitter account that constantly tweets how Gingrich has sex with horses.
Hey, gay children have enough problems as it is — don’t go giving Newt any ideas…
there’s an ad on the left advertising getting 4000 twitter followers for 12 dollars.
Of course Newt now denies, denies, denies (via tweet):
newtgingrich: A false story was planted this morning about my sueing twitter. This is totally false and we have repudiated it with the media
Still,sounds like a contest for best tweet to Gringrich followers:
” @newtgingrich switching to Democratic Party”
” @newtgingrich joins NAMBLA. All good Republican have already joined this important organization.”
” @newtgingrich says Roberta McCain is completely right about Rush Limbaugh”
Newt’s also suing John Edward for plagiarism, since Newt had the idea of cheating on his cancer-stricken wife first.
[re=317074]WIDTAP[/re]: Catholics. Newt just turned an ardent Catholic. How about “@newtgingrich popes teh antichrist”?
[re=317081]WadISay[/re]: ” @newtgingrich starts schism in Catholic Church. New branch elects Mel Gibson pope.”
@newtgingrich joins NAMBLA. All good Republican have already joined this important organization
Since Republicans do whatever they are told, I expect the membership of NAMBLA will be swelling. And once they figure out the goals of the organization, the new members’ members will be swelling as well.
Silly Newt. Twitters aren’t for bitters.
[re=317080]SayItWithWookies[/re]: that’s some WIN
Proof again that technologeez are not for the olds.
[re=317074]WIDTAP[/re]:
@newtgingrich thinks copraphillia is a core American value
@newtgingrich is wearing lacy underwear & a bra
@newtgingrich prefers the piquant taste of mule semen
@newtgingrich says lick my ballz, Rush
The possibilities really are endless….
ha ha Newt Gingrich giving a rat’s ass about normal working people. Ha HA HA AHA HA HHAHAHHAHAHAH
HAHAHAHA somebody EFCAted all over The Gingrich.
@newtgingrich wants to know if his white squishy ass is more enticing than Barney Frank’s outted one
@newtgingrich thinks waterboarding is fun S&M foreplay
@newtgingrich is the catcher, obv
@newtgingrich wants you to keep clicking on his ad to the side there, over and over, so he can lose adsense $ at Wonkette’s gain
Poor Newt. If he is going to sue, he’ll need a good trial lawyer. Good luck with that, Republicans–heroes of tort reform.
I really don’t want to know what twitter is, and I am definately not going to “tag” Rush. However, if Rush wants to be “tagged” I know to huge Nigerian guys who like to wear chaps that would love to ride whitey.
[re=317399]Bruno[/re]: And by Rush of course I meant Newt. But it is socially exceptable to view them interchangably.
[re=317021]SmutBoffin[/re]: “HA! Does anyone else see the “FREE EMAIL FROM NEWT” ad?”
No, but I wish I did. I think that ad primarily pops up for AOL users, but one might have escaped in your case. Anyway, I would love to sue that thing.
Gingrich: SUE THIS!
Ya’ moron!
Hah!
