Damn', I miss the guy in Congress. He was a tower of strength then, and it's looking like he hasn't changed a bit:
From Daily Kos (Worth checking out for all the tweets! Also worth checking out his whole Twitter feed!)
>>Since 1966, the news media have granted the opposition party a national platform to deliver a response to the presidents annual State of the Union Address. This attempt to balance our debate must be upgraded for the 21st century, now that we have a new president who tweets like a moody teenager who was just denied a participation award. Democrats should name a Twitter account to issue official responses to President Trumps tweets, and those rebuttals should be noted in any relevant reporting.
Theres one tweeter who has best demonstrated the character and the 140 characters necessary to perform this role. The best way to stop an unstable 70-year-old with an itchy Twitter finger is the worlds greatest 90-year-old Twitter user @JohnDingell, a former Democratic representative of Michigan.<<
