Twitter-fated

By GottaLaff

When will the Republicans join the rest of us here in the 21st century?

It appears Virginia Republicans "came very close to taking control of the state Senate, nearly luring a Democratic Senator to switch parties and put them at a 20-20 tie, which would have been broken by the Republican Lt. Governor," TPM reports.

Until, of course, a state representative twittered this: "Big news coming out of Senate: Apparently one dem is either switching or leaving the dem caucus. Negotiations for power sharing underway."

Democrats "read the message, quickly mobilized to talk the renegade out of it, and stopped the GOP coup before it could happen."

See, when you Twitter, many, many people can actually read your tweets, birdbrains. Looks like the GOP just laid another egg.
