We give credit to The Hill for having the courage to start a very necessary new blog, Twitter Room, which nobly tries to capture all of the insane shit members of Congress write on their Twitters. Here’s something they picked up from Rep. Leonard Boswell’s Twitter yesterday — they even read LEONARD BOSWELL’S TWITTER, these Hill people! — about how his grandson will soon become a Man. [Twitter Room, Leonard Boswell]

He noticed his hair was shorter when he was running his fingers through it, I suppose?

Man, if my Grandpa was on twitter at all, much less speculating about my sex life on it, I’d kill myself four times.

bfstevie@yahoo.com April 7, 2009 at 3:27 pm

Gee Congersman, maybe the boy has a new man friend. It’s all good. You’re from IOWA.

JadedDIssonance April 7, 2009 at 3:28 pm

And the Twitterberries taste like Twitterberries!

So little time, so much to see…here…

strike that.

Thanks to the intertubes, embarrassment caused by family has a global reach and audience.

Man Without Qualities April 7, 2009 at 3:29 pm

Ioway pols, reppin’ the crazy again!

ForTheTurnstiles April 7, 2009 at 3:29 pm

This haircut? It’s the cut you get for your NAMBLA initiation, granddad.

Serolf Divad April 7, 2009 at 3:29 pm

The kid’s fifteen… do you really call his girlfriend a “lady friend”? Is this a Mrs. Robinson type situation?

Gopherit April 7, 2009 at 3:32 pm

[re=283067]Serolf Divad[/re]: She’s not his girlfriend, she’s his fuckin’ lady friend, okay man?

JadedDIssonance April 7, 2009 at 3:32 pm

@leonardboswell pics or gtfo

Hart88 April 7, 2009 at 3:32 pm

If the kid’s smart, he can leverage this embarrassment into a bitchin’ car when he gets his drivers license

ph7 April 7, 2009 at 3:32 pm

Every boy should get his haricut before his first Boswell.

ellie April 7, 2009 at 3:32 pm

Oh my.

freakishlystrong April 7, 2009 at 3:33 pm

A new lady friend in his sights? Jesus is this kid a stalker?

chascates April 7, 2009 at 3:34 pm

Make sure to tweet some embarrassing anecdotes about your grandson when he was a toddler. And then what you had for lunch. And can you remember some song lyrics from the big band era?

ronaldpagan April 7, 2009 at 3:34 pm

I can’t believe he hasn’t updated us on this story for 19 whole hours. What base did your grandson get to, Lenny??? America needs to know!

Mad Farmer Manifest April 7, 2009 at 3:38 pm

God, you guys are sick. It’s only a grandfather proud of his grandson who is growing up. The old guy just wants video of it if the new haircut helps the boy nail that chick. “Do it, boy! Make your grandad proud!”

Again, you people have dirty, dirty minds.

shortsshortsshorts April 7, 2009 at 3:40 pm

He always gets a piece of the action. His grandson and him have quite the symbiotic relationship going on.

Crab1 April 7, 2009 at 3:43 pm

My Grandpappy was always my best wingman. We scored mad gash when we hit the bars together.

Come here a minute April 7, 2009 at 3:43 pm

The kid is probably so embarrassed that his grandfather is a member of Congress from Iowa that this can’t possibly make it worse.

pissedinmytutu April 7, 2009 at 3:44 pm

Old Leonard’s just hoping he can maybe get a taste.

wheelie April 7, 2009 at 3:46 pm

Give your grandson a quarter so he can take his new lady friend for a sasparilla at the drug store, Grandpappy!

sevenrepeat April 7, 2009 at 3:47 pm

i think it’s normal for grandpa to be interested in his freshly shaven 15 year old grandson’s sex life.

queeraselvis v 2.0 April 7, 2009 at 3:47 pm

At least Powell didn’t tweet that his grandson had a GILF. ‘Cuz, damn.

Mild Midwesterner April 7, 2009 at 3:48 pm

A new haircut, sure. But does the kid have a new pair of roller skates?

Serolf Divad April 7, 2009 at 3:52 pm

When I turned fifteen my grandpappy told my mom he was taking me fishing, then took me to his favorite whorehouse instead and told the madam to fetch her freshest girl and have her make me a man.

Isn’t that standard operating procedure?

jodyleek April 7, 2009 at 3:54 pm

[re=283105]Mild Midwesterner[/re]: Yes, he does. And, I’ve got a brand new key.

ph7 April 7, 2009 at 3:55 pm

Hey Gramps! Fingerbanged in geometry class = the new “lady friend in sights”

AnnieGetYourFun April 7, 2009 at 3:58 pm

Yes, the way that young men impress the ladies these days is by getting a haircut. Then they polish up the ol’ jalopy and drive around town in their letterman’s sweaters.

Onion on belt, also.

PAbitter April 7, 2009 at 3:59 pm

See this? It’s my grandson’s new haircut. Know what it means? He’s getting some f$%^ing pussy tonight.

sanantonerose April 7, 2009 at 4:08 pm

Keep it in the coffee shop, Grampa! For gawdsakes…

bitchincamaro April 7, 2009 at 4:08 pm

“lady friend”

“ladyboy friend”
/fixed

sanantonerose April 7, 2009 at 4:09 pm

[re=283070]Gopherit[/re]: WIN

sanantonerose April 7, 2009 at 4:11 pm

[re=283126]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Don’t forget the raccoon coat!

Origami April 7, 2009 at 4:26 pm

This is definitely something my grandmother would do if she knew what Twitter was.

“What? I’m just tryin’ to help ya out!”

Vulpes82 April 7, 2009 at 4:28 pm

The grandson just doesn’t have the heart to tell grandpa his new “lady friend” is actually the “whole high school men’s soccer team.”

tiny mexican April 7, 2009 at 4:45 pm

That is so old-person adorable that I can’t even make fun, gosh dangit.

mrpuma2u April 7, 2009 at 4:51 pm

[re=283094]Crab1[/re]: Win!

grevillea April 7, 2009 at 7:51 pm

Barber probly tipped him off, after grandson requested ‘something for the weekend’.

schvitzatura April 7, 2009 at 9:22 pm

Oh, no more yankee my wankee, the Donger need food!

Automobile!?!

Improvident_Lackwit April 7, 2009 at 9:28 pm

[re=283126]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Because that was the style of the time

Lionel Hutz Esq. April 8, 2009 at 3:04 am

Shouldn’t Congresspeople be seen and not heard?

jetjaguar April 8, 2009 at 9:27 am

this is the only reason that Twitter should be allowed to exist

arclight April 8, 2009 at 11:15 am

Ol’ Lenny should be spending his days golfing and doing the daily crossword puzzle, bless his heart.
