He’s a public official. Twitter is a public forum. The public can and should hold him accountable for how he behaves in that forum. What part of that are you not understanding?

I am all for the MSM and the DUers and the Kossacks and O'Reilly and the rest of the wingnuts doing so. Maybe bring on NOW and they can tell the world how sexist it was (it wasn't), or they can bring on a gay group and tell us how unfair to gays it was, or the NAACP can come on and complain about lack of black peckers on Twitter. Don't care.

Why do we have to wrestle the greased pig?

Doesn’t something sit wrong with you about this?

This idea that anything anyone does, is fair game - simply because they hold elected office? No matter when it is?

His off time? Weekend? Congress not in session??

Will we have reporters trailing single members of Congress to see who they are boinking and how often?

This really what we want our government to be about?? The coverage of government - reduced to a reality show??

Seriously?????

Isn’t it dumbed down enough already?
