For about an hour the other day, former George W. Bush spokesman Ari Fleisher had himself a nice case of righteous indignation when he thought he saw something nasty in the Twittershed: Could it be, he asked, that Barack Obama got special privileges on the Twitter box? Turns out that Fleischer was kinda sorta just plain wrong -- he'd copypasted the POTUStweet into another document and included the "@BarackObama" part, and then went and had a very embarrassing Public Huff.
And now, for larffs, Public Policy Polling threw an extra question into a national poll, asking people if they think Twitter lets Obama cheat on the character limit. While only 13% of GOP voters think he does (and remember, you can reliably get 10-15% of Americans to agree with ANYTHING), the poll also found that 36% said Obama gets no extra-long tweets, while 52% were "not sure."
What does it mean? It means that in the wake of the Ted Cruz Filibustapalooza, we are in something of a slow news day.

It makes him sound French, to go with his last name which means butcher in German and Yiddish.
I don't watch movies with more than 5 characters- I can never remember who's who. So why would anyone want to put more than 140 characters in a tweet? and how?
