THE KING OF INADVERTENT HUMOR

Things To Check More Often: Wolf Blitzer’s Twitter

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Wolf himself only needed to watch the first ~90 seconds of it, by which time he’d… you know… finished. [Twitter via Atrios]


SIX IN ONE HALF DOZEN IN THE OTHER

Obama Either Did Not Remember His Twitter Or He Is Ashamed Of It

Monday, November 16th, 2009


Obama, talking to students in Shanghai: “Well, first of all, let me say that I have never used Twitter. My thumbs are too clumsy to type in things on the phone.” There is no end to his lying. Barack Obama probably doesn’t even have thumbs, like Rahm Emanuel.


MEGHAN'S SOLILOQUY

Meghan McCain Will Take That Misdirected Concern And Attention Now

Monday, November 16th, 2009


Just FYI, despite the inaccuracies of the trust Your Facebook Inbox Newswire, Meghan McCain was not mugged and knifed last night—no backwards “M” was carved! MORE »


LEVI JOHNSTON WILL SUE THIS TWITTER TOO

Sarah Palin Is Tweeting Again In Addition To The Facebook And The Memoir

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009


Remember? She famously quit Twitter during that same week she also quit her governorship. So good news! Meg Stapleton has likely explained employment and Twitter are not mutually exclusive. This new endeavor contains exactly zero content and already has 11,000 followers, which sounds about right. [SarahPalinUSA via AP]


OUCH

What Shame Feels Like: Elie Wiesel Condemning You, On Twitter

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Hey, moron with the “health care reform = Dachau” sign at yesterday’s protest: freaking Elie Wiesel hates you, or at the very least… you know… considers that a false equivalency. On Twitter. [Twitter]


ON TWITTER

Science, Technology Combine To Produce Imporant Political Breakthrough

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Today in the “comical e-mail press releases that make for easy posts” file we have this, the latest terrible Twitter thing about nothing. Apparently Bob McDonnell is an asexual robot while Creigh Deeds is a suicidal pederast, on Twitter: “Front-runner McDonnell is much more ‘plugged in’ and less ‘depressed’ than Deeds; but Deeds is noticeably more touchy-feely (45% sensory category) in his Tweets than McDonnell (33%).” This explains everything about politics. Thank you, Science!


CAN WE HAVE ONE TOO?

Olympia Snowe, Melted. Next?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

For RedState, the time has come to fling poop toys at a Blue Dog Democrat. Erick Erickson writes, “Here’s the thing — if we make Earl Pomeroy’s life extremely painful for the next week, Republicans are going to think twice about jumping ship and so will a lot of the Blue Dog Democrats.” The actual Oxford-Harvard dictionary definition of “extremely painful” is “have some toy poop show up at your office in North Dakota.” It is more painful than cancer & Hitler combined.

PROBABLY MEANS NOTHING BUT STILL

CBS Newsman Would Just Like To Make Note Of This Fact He Spent Hours Researching

Monday, October 26th, 2009

This is one of those Jake Tapper-esque “Just sayin’, it’s a fact, just sayin’…” style twats from CBS’ Mark Knoller, who probably doesn’t mean to imply anything, but is just sayin’, this is a statistic, just puttin’ it out there, interpret it how you will, just sayin’. [Twitter]


ANNALS OF NEW MEDIA

Newt Gingrich Holding War Reenactment On Twitter, Whatever That Means

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

We don’t even want to know the mechanics of this: “Washington, DC – To celebrate the launch of Newt Gingrich (@newtgingrich) and Bill Forstchen’s new book, To Try Men’s Souls, about the Christmas Night 1776 crossing of the Delaware River and attack on the Hessians stationed in Trenton, NJ, St. Martin’s Press and Gingrich Communications are excited to announce the first ever twitter reenactment of the crossing!” Intern Riley will be liveblogging this on Sunday! Yes, Riley, it’s true! [Newt.org]


DEATH AND CARNAGE

First Congressman Gets Pig AIDS! UH OH

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Earlier today your Wonkette wrote, “Well, whichever members of Congress get sick first, we’ll know they’ve been schtupping the pages,” because all of the pages currently have devastating pig AIDS. Now we have a weiner! His name is Greg Walden (R-OR) and you can see him growing marijuana, on Twitter. Oops! [Twitter, The Hill]
