GOP Congresslady Refuses To Dignify Smoking Rumor Because It Was On That Twitter Thing
Just when you thought the Twitter fad was some dumb fucking thing nobody would possibly actually use -- our Intern Juli was recently shocked to find it's nothing but "an anthology of away messages? on a website?" -- there is proof that it could change democracy forever. Republican congresswoman Marsha Blackburn of the Nashville suburbs is now at the center of a powerful Twitter storm, as somebody somewhere remarked that her teeth are terrible, and therefore she must be a chain smoker, like every other 52-year-old blonde in Tennessee.
Here is the blockbuster "tweet" that has rocked the congressional race in whatever district:
I just noticed this for the 1st time - does Marsha Blackburn smoke? http: //www.twitpic.com/a8vj - what is that stain on her 2 front teeth?
Blackburn was quick to issue a shameful non-denial:
“In the midst of a Middle Tennessee fuel crisis, debate over a $700 billion dollar bailout to avert a possible Wall Street crisis, and a significant Republican victory on energy; you can understand why I won’t comment on every random tweet out there.”
Yes, whatever, smokin' congresslady. Go enjoy your Capri 100s.
