Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) was the victim of a "Twitter-jacking," where an impostor had set up a Twitter page to mock the long-serving lawmaker.

"The messages posted seem to be the work of someone with a little too much free time on their hands," Young spokeswoman Meredith Kenny told Fox News.

The Twitter page has been suspended.

The imitator isn't the first of a member of Congress. Sen. Robert Byrd's (D-W.Va.) Twitter page is widely acknowledged to be a fake.

Still here are some examples of the impostor's tweets, retrieved from the page's cache:

@RoyBlunt gives Ron Paul a wedgie about once a week. Ron won't be in a room with more than 5 reps anymore; he knows something's up.

Just received a memo from the White House: either I sign a loyalty oath to Obama, or "my life will be difficult". Insane. (I won't!)

I'm okay with hate crime legislation. If you don't plan on murdering minorities, you have nothing to fear.

How much are people paying to subscribe to me on Twitter? Is there an FEC issue I should watch out for?

Arlen Specter was a wuss - my poll numbers were just as bad last year, and I didn't give up!

Can I get the swine flu from Twitter? I've got anti-virus on my computer, so I think I'm safe.

Is Twitter more like ham radio? There are a lot of people talking. I don't have a license, but maybe I don't have to, being a Congressman.

After Vice President Biden said earlier this week that he couldn't recommend flying or traveling in other confined spaces, one GOP lawmaker is glad he's flying without the vice president.

Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.) tweeted Friday before his flight home to Montana:

Flying from D.C. To Billings today. (V.P. Biden not on my flight) #tcot

Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) doesn't have to worry about recriminations from Rush Limbaugh, unlike some of his Republican colleagues in the House who have crossed swords with the conservative radio show host.

Israel tweeted Friday:

Enough of these ring-wing radio guys spreading lies about the flu outbreak! Read my response to them: http://tinyurl.com/cksd4q

Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) won the distinction of being the first lawmaker to tweet on the impending Supreme Court vacancy.

While a number of pundits and bloggers sounded off on the news that Justice David Souter is set to retire at the end of this term, Broun was the first member of Congress whose sounding off crossed our desk this morning.

Broun tweeted Friday:

As the Supreme Court changes Americans should remember that any Justice favoring a "living" constitution favors personal power to rewrite it

It should be noted that as a member of the House of Representatives, Broun gets no say in the confirmation of a new justice. That duty is only for members of the Senate.

ABC's Terry Moran was among the millions of Americans last night apparently ignoring the impending opening on the Supreme Court, and instead paying attention to the triple-overtime heartstopper between the Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls won the game, forcing a game 7 this Saturday in Boston. The series has had four overtime games so far.

Moran tweeted:

Has there ever been a better NBA series than Bulls-Celtics this year? Heck, this is one of the great battles in sports history.

Moran then celebrated the gamewinning play by Bulls first-year player Derrick Rose, who blocked a shot and stole the ball to stave off a fourth OT.

DERRICK ROSE!!!!!!!!!!!! ROTY!!!!

And finally, Moran tweeted:

GAME SEVEN SATURDAY. I LOVE THIS GAME.

Maybe the NBA really is where amazing happens.



(Note: "FTW" is a typically used acronym on Twitter, meaning "For The Win.")

Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) boots were made for walking, judging by a tweet he posted late Thursday afternoon.

The senator tweeted:

Wearing a smart pedometer to count my steps as part of the American Horsepower Challenge. Learn more: http://tinyurl.com/c4n2n7

CBS Radio's Mark Knoller, who many readers saw last night on TV asking President Obama a question about torture, dispatched a classic Obama line from his Twitter feed today.

Knoller tweeted Thursday:

It's the Obama Quote of the Day:"Like a lot of great ideas, this one was conceived in a bar." - re: the Wounded Warrior bike ride program.

Knoller is one of the more prolific and substantive tweeters within the White House press corps, and can be followed here.

Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.) is not happy with Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.). As Michael noted on BBR, Frank withdrew his support for an amendment Bachmann had offered to ban federal funding for any group who has an employee under indictment for voter fraud.

Frank told The Hill that an indictment is too low a threshold to warrant legislative sanction.

Not Bachmann is Tweeting her response, linking to a blog post where she accuses Frank of "siding with acorn."
