Whose Side Are They On?
I came across this on CNet: Congressman Twitters secret trip to Iraq
For security reasons, the congressional delegation led by House Minority Leader John Boehner to Iraq today was supposed to be secret. Everything had been going fine in that regard. Even media outlets that knew of the trip, like the Congressional Quarterly, kept a lid on the news.
That was, until Representative Peter Hoekstra Twittered his arrival into Baghdad. “Just landed in Baghdad. I believe it may be first time I’ve had bb service in Iraq. 11 th trip here,” he sent from his Blackberry.
This is the guy, the Ranking Member [senior Republican] on the House committee on Intelligence, and he doesn’t know anyone can read a Twitter feed.
And people wonder why we can’t catch bin Laden […heads off mumbling and shaking his head.]

LMAO ………….. (I’m gasping for air here!) LOL
Well… we can now officially call people who use Twitter… Twits! LMAO
Ohhh my… That’s just… too funny! Sorry… but you understand my view, huh? 😀
Weren’t these the guys who said that terrorist use Twitter?
When you work ComSec it isn’t the enlisted ranks you have to deal with, it’s the top of the structure.
Hoekstra is definitely a twit who is obviously showing off his “mad thumbing skills” by violating all the rules.
Frankly, Jill, I think this proves their claim, because this guy has been preaching terror for a very long time.
Now thanks to Boehner using Twitter,
Security is in the… toilet.

These lame jerks are trying to impress people with how up-to-date they are. They really remind me of when the Twist became popular at nursing homes.
