Twits from Senator Claire
- Flying to Arnold on Air Force One. Nice, but have done this before so the thrill is gone

- Is going to be a busy day accompanying the President on the 100th day, so keep following me

- While following me, please remember to visit my donate@claire

- Oops, getting ready to land. Sure is faster than with commercial flights. I am second to descent, right behind the President

- A few more seconds? Better not, no need to fall on those steps in front of the media, and I need to kiss the welcoming committee.

- Will have to stop for now, but keep following. Will offer a full twit during the news conference. Who cares what these reporters are asking?

=======

If any has received the real twits from Senator Claire, I challenge you to post them side by side and compare with the above.

Twit twit.

1. shouldn't it be tweets?
of course, not being on Twitter, maybe I'm wrong...
(and maybe the "twits" was intentional...)

at least it wasn't Colbert's term...

5. Probably. Don't know
I am not a twitter, either.

I feel sorry for the lonely souls who need "followers" to tell them what they are doing at every minute.

2. To be clear--you're making this shit up, yes?
If not, I'd say Frog March That Self Absorbed Asshole From the Public Square.

8. "OMFG" as the kids say....and as their parents say, "Gag me with a spoon...." and as their
grandparents and great grandparents say, "Fachrissake, what the hell is that stupid bullshit?"

The "real link" is just as bad. No wonder they call it TWITTER. It's the self-absorbed ramblings of twits, apparently.

If you're sitting in a limo with any public figure, even if it's not one as august as the POTUS, you shouldn't be poking at a keyboard. Unless, of course, she was sitting in the TRUNK, and getting bored back there....

Go ahead and call me an old fogey who's behind the times. I think that Twitter shit is crap. I imagine, like the little birdie, that there's the odd nugget of corn in that pile of crap, but I'll let someone other than ME find those gems. I think that's just "too too" as they say.

6. Yes, but, as I noted, no doubt her real ones
are in the same line

7. I doubt that twitting messages display correct spelling
grammar and punctuation. I doubt that any twit would spell President with a capital P.

Oh well.
