Cox to Grassley: You tweet like a 14-year-old girl

By Michael O'Brien - 04/08/09 11:54 AM ET
Air America correspondent Ana Marie Cox, arguably the Queen of Political Twitter, called out Sen. Chuck Grassley's (R-Iowa) recurring shorthand in tweets, likening him to a 14-year-old girl.

Cox tweeted:
So so so much to love about @chuckgrassley's tweets, but mostly it's that he tweets like a 14yo girl. "Tlkd 2 seniors. Stdnts hv bst qstns."


For comparison, here are some of Grassley's tweets today:

First:
On way 2 Titonka 4 twn hall mtg. Just saw 1st farmr in field. Won't b long b4 all is green. He was sowing oats. Not the Wild kind

then:
Was at Garner Hayfield schl. Tlkd 2 seniors. Stdnts hv bst qstns like nclb, Iraq, usps and othr. Jst got done @ Krysilis in FC. Great program helping others

and finally:
Anthr pckd house in Clarion. Lots of outrage abt fed spending. I hear them. Met in historic RR depot
