WOAH HEY, how did an intelligible phrase sneak into the stream of notoriously incomprehensible re-imaginings of the English language that we are usually treated to on Senator Chuck Grassley’s Twitter feed? Did science up and find a cure for “teabagger?” Kind of! It’s known in this case as “hacking.”
A couple dozen tweets mostly calling out Grassley for supporting SOPA also made it up for a few hours before everyone began to deduce that Grassley’s account had been hacked because of the flurry of complete sentences that abruptly followed up this random sequence of letter and symbol buttons that Chuck’s thumbs smashed down on his Blackberry last Saturday:
Oh well, and now all trace of coherency has been wiped from Chuck Grassley’s Twitter feed, and the world is safe again. SRY EVRY1 NO WORRY @LL back 2 how it shud b! [Twitter]

This is not how American Americans behave. The REAL America would not kowtow to such elitist concepts as grammar and punctuation. FREEDUMB!
Anonymous for Senate 2012!
Chuck is a dip-twit-shit.

Amazing! That's my WPA2 key!
I loved that movie.

Just as long as Chuck's back in time to send out some shockingly unintelligible live tweets of the next UNI basketball game…
Hacking a Teatard's account < Time on your hands.
Better to just wait for them to bring the crazy…it never takes too long.
From the state that gave you the winner, Santorum. Thumbs up (your ass) Iowa.
When I saw the improved spelling, I thought Grassley had taken a blow to the head.
Is he channeling for Palin here?
Still, "its" should be "it's" but who am I to nitpick?
Facts and stuff so elitist.
Twitter. 140 characters. Ain't got no time for apostrophes, Frenchie; that's the entire point of the Twitterverse: to render the Englishish language just intelligible enough to understand.
That's what makes this tweet so 'effing lame@ss. Grassley's going on about how there's no grammatical errors, but he's wrong.
Sarah Palin hacked his account?

IowaGOP srsly quit vting 4 corrpt dumass. LOL #heblowsalot.
My dog can hack a Teabagger account…their passwords are always "abc123."
@ChuckGrassley
STFU & pull corncob out yr ass u duchbag.

GHOSTTWEETER!
Chuck who?
Grassley
Rhymes with Assley.
Yes, he was remarkably quiet throughout the Republican caucus in his own state. Imagine how much crazier it would have been had he tweeted his "thought" processes.

Better then the debate.
The hacker should have "pulled a Weiner" and sent some Grassley crotch shots.
Eeeewwww!
He is a republican senator, what makes you think he isn't getting those already?
Oh dear God, pass that bleach Historicat, would you?
I hope this isn't prelude to a sexting event.
Hop Iwns4Grsly R nt L8 to prty!!!
Oh, it's like when one of the screenwriters for those hawt-and-happenin' teevee series decides to give a main character a makeover, with sharp departures in manner and attitude from their usual schtick. Like Eric Northman in "True Blood" or Lady Ethel in "Downton Abbey"… If the same person who hacked this tweet-refurb is also behind Mittbot's unforced error in acknowledging Hopey admin's effect on the recession, I think we're in for a good season on Up
stairs, DownstairsThe Down Staircase!Replace Joe Ferone with Joey Ramone and I think you've got a hit!
I(diots) O(ut) W(andering) A(round).
Spilt milk also too. $$$
And here I thought maybe Grassley had decided to lay off the meth for once.
We've reached a great point in our country's development when politicians are able to tweet like 12-year-olds.
Damn, I thought he himself had been hacked by some rogue corn cultists.
Senator Chuck's twitter is back in the twatter.
Move along folks, nothing to see…

Now the only question is will the baggers buy that his Twitter was hacked, or will they run him out of office for being a secret liberal elite who knows how to think and spell?
Let's play a game. Can you guess which of the following tweets were written by Grassley and which ones were written by America's Sweetheart, Courtney Stodden:
1. Ocassionally I turn to History channel hope to c history. Whenevr will the history channel hv a real old fashion histry program
2. While hardcore hits dominate my every move – I suddenly strip – & jump on top of a sexy sports car as I begin to wash it uncontrollably!
3. Ûü
4. Feeling fun & flirty as I passionately pounce on the bed to play a dominating game in the dark… meow! ;)
5. "For GOD so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life." XOs
Not fair. It's all Grassley.
Actually that last one is Courtney Stodden (seriously).
WTF?
Fuckin' for Jeebus? Now there's a church you can believe in!
I really hope, and fear, that #2 is Chuck.
Hardcore hits DO dominate his every move…
Only Grassley would misspell "T"
A
Oh gee Chuck, you are so funky down with the technology. I bet you may get a pager soon.
He's still trying to buy the italics ball for his IBM Selectric typewriter.
Romney admitting that the economy is getting better. Proper spelling from Grassley…
What would happen if all of the GOP's robots suddenly became self-aware and rebelled against their creators?
What would happen if all of the GOP's robots suddenly became self-aware and rebelled against their creators?
I'd finally accept the theory of intelligent design.
ps We are talking about Transformer/Terminator-style carnage, right? It'd suck if all the rebellious robots did was fix their spelling & grammar.
Any group that calls itself Anonymous needs spelling skills.
its apparent that his twitter has improved it's grammar, but not totally.
So does this ultimately hurt or help his image with people of Iowa who regularly swallow his smarmy, folksy line of bullshit?
"Spelling on Chuck Grassley’s Twitter Finally Improves After Being Hacked." Great, Chuckles, now, about your breath…
As a follower of Chuck's feed, I figured it out right away when it went 2 tweets in a row without mentioning Girls volleyball game scores, college basketball scores, nor college football scores. Just give him a job already, ESPN.
It's…it's…evolving!
I propose a new law: Grassley's Law. Grassley's Law states that the longer a politician's tweeter feed, the closer said politician gets to posting something that will compromise and/or end his or her career.
See also: Weiner's Law.
yet punctuation and spelling are still elusive goals, felled by the inevitable its conundrum…
FAIL – his tweet should read: "Yes it's …" I feel so damn bad for the apostrophe – it's the most abused punctuation evah! There's even an Apostrophe Protection Society in the U.K. – http://www.apostrophe.org.uk/
Quick lesson – "it's" means "it is" and "its" is a possessive pronoun that requires no apostrophe, like "hers" or "theirs."
