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]

Once upon a time there was an organization called the Republican National Committee, which was run by competent people like Ed Gillespie and Ken Mehlman. They helped win elections and stuff, until 2006, when Republicans suddenly stopped winning anything. Since then, a succession of nobodies at the RNC have helped make the party into the obscure Southern fringe group it is today. So which of six brave men will get to lead the party into further irrelevance in the future? MORE »
