"I hate senators who Twitter."
That I think is really what is at the heart of the Twitter is good/Twitter is bad argument. I mean my life is too damn boring for everyone to know what I'm doing at that exact minute. And it's fine to discuss politics/art/et al with like minded people as we do on this site (ok, the like-minded people might be pushing it)
However, I don't give a flying fuck at the moon that John McCain can Twitter or for that matter any other Senator. Were I a resident of AZ and had voted for the man, I'd care more about him actually shutting up about stupid stuff and show us some of that "mavericky" style and actually work with the President to accomplish something.
He was twittering on about earmarks, well then take his fellow Republicans to task about them and work with the administration and Congress to stop or reform the process. Don't send out Top Ten Lists regarding the pork in the bill - David Letterman does it better anyway...
Ok, done now - I'm going to go update my status on Facebook :evilgrin:
