0 Congressman Tweets; blows off jobs speech - RU Kidding??

McCrabby's rant for the weekend:  What is the matter with this country?  Oh, here's one thing...

Paul Broun told "Fox and Friends" on Thursday he was not trying to send a message by blowing off President  Obama's jobs speech last night — he just really wanted to tweet -- we guess he was sending multiple messages.  

Are you kidding, Mr. Broun?  Come on...

The Republican Congressman from Georgia (and, believe it when McCrabby says he doesn't care if this guy is democrat or republican) said he would watch the speech from his office and offer live tweets to his almost-6000 Twitter followers (Charlie Sheen got a million followers in a couple days -- but, that's another problem for another rant).  

When Broun was asked by the Fox network host if his absence from the Congressional Chamber was meant to send a message to the president, Broun assured that there was no message.  He added "In fact, I believe very firmly this is going to be just another political speech,  The campaign's on, the president is going to give us another campaign speech."

"Would you care to share your thoughts 
with the rest of the class, Mr. Broun?"

Broun said one of the reasons he's skipping the address is because members are not supposed to be on their cell phones and Blackberries in the chamber.  REALLY??  When the president is giving a speech, you aren't supposed to be passing notes in class?  How restrictive is that??  

Broun noted that "I think it's better for me to sit in the office and watch it on TV where I can communicate with my constituents."  Those six thousand people (how many constituents do you have, Mr. Broun?) couldn't wait another hour to hear Broun's incisive comments?  Maybe Fox News should interview those six thousand people to see how many skipped the speech to read Broun's tweets.  Broun called his session a "Twitter Town Hall Meeting."  


McCrabby calls it a joke.  Saturday Night Live can play this skit without rewriting the words..

In January, Broun also skipped Obama's State of the Union speech, and live tweeted his commentary during that address.  No wonder he has so many followers.
