- etx313, on 02/07/2009, -3/+35Boehner. I giggled.
- amabaie, on 02/08/2009, -1/+31Congressman Homer Simpson.
- bat-21, on 02/07/2009, -1/+22Here's his Twitter page: http://twitter.com/petehoekstra
- micha, on 02/08/2009, -1/+19More proof that you don't have to be smart to be in intelligence.
- Cglass, on 02/08/2009, -0/+15...
I'm so, so sorry, but
That's what she said.
=.= - KrayzieKyd, on 02/08/2009, -1/+12Tweetup in Baghdad.
- SpectreFire, on 02/08/2009, -0/+11Then these same idiots spend millions of taxpayer dollars looking to see how to where all the government leaks are coming from.
- TheIndigoSky, on 02/08/2009, -1/+9Are they sure it's as secret as they said it was? If you look several tweets before that, he said that he was going to Iraq/Afganistan, announcing it ahead of time.
- spookyttws, on 02/08/2009, -0/+8It's his security he's ***** up. I feel bad for his entourage, but dozens of our people land in Baghdad each week. It's got to be pretty routine by this point. If I were a terrorist, I'd simply assume important people will be flying in every other week.
On the technical side, and with all the stories surrounding Obama's, it doesn't matter how secure your device is it's how you use it and what information you share. - memper, on 02/08/2009, -1/+8He's continued to add updates to twitter as of five hours ago. I don't think he believes there is an issue.
How does cnet know it was secret? By pointing out congressional quarterly didn't bother reporting his 11th trip there?
Srsly? - digger0007, on 02/08/2009, -0/+6Another piece of hypocrisy in the GOP ruling elite. They tell the military to cease and desist blogs that allow people to vent their high stress and emotions after work, but allow this bozo to endanger everyone traveling with him, everyone responsible for his safety while in Iraq.
Send the jerk home or take aways his toy. - Danltn, on 02/08/2009, -1/+7Less of this, *****.
- AManWithNoName, on 02/08/2009, -1/+7Somebody needs to make a sitcom about republicans like these living in a house together and the hijinks that go on in their daily lives as a result of their stupidity. It would be a hell of a lot better than "According To Jim", I know that much.
- whatthefu, on 02/08/2009, -0/+5"Love twitter critics.Spelling mistakes. Sorry but riding in poor light, bouncing around,speed not accuracy. Lighten up. Its called twitter"
This guy is awesome. - ChasInVictoria, on 02/08/2009, -2/+7EIGHT YEARS after we invaded, these trips still have to be secret and infested with massive security.
For comparison purposes: Eisenhower could walk the streets of Berlin just five and a half years (almost to the day) from when Hitler invaded Poland. The largest and most powerful war machine the world had ever (and still has ever) seen, defeated in 36 months. - iHeartCamels, on 02/08/2009, -0/+5That's funny since there was a push by Republicans during the Plame investigation fallout to cut off intelligence access to certain Democratic congresspeople. Guess they're not much better themselves.
- offwhite, on 02/08/2009, -0/+4Now we just need Osama bin Laden to get hooked on Twitter.
- falafelkiosken, on 02/08/2009, -0/+4so they were right, twitter *is* a terrorist tool :o
- k3rfuffl3, on 02/08/2009, -0/+4That's an insult to he who voted Democrat. This dude is most definitely Republican down to the technological cluelessness.
- joand315, on 02/10/2009, -0/+3That was published after the fact, not before the trip. Also even if the trip wasn't secret, there is no doubt that the itinerary was.
- mah2cent, on 02/08/2009, -2/+5"I don't know if Rep. Hoekstra broke any laws by revealing the trip, but the political blogs are fond of pointing out that such a security lapse is surprising for the Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee." That does not mean that he is himself intelligent.
- cfrog7, on 02/08/2009, -0/+3on the positive side, its a good thing that the head of the House Intelligence Committee knows what Twitter is
- m0n0kr0m3, on 02/08/2009, -0/+3Don't reproduce! Thanks...
- KrisfromFlorida, on 02/08/2009, -1/+4Before the Obama campaign started, there was no participation of politicians in the social media.
Since he won, the GOP is sending out tweets even if they crap or fart . - graphictruth, on 02/08/2009, -1/+4Well, there's a reason why it's called "pulling a Boehner ."
- inactive, on 02/08/2009, -0/+2Someone pulled a Boner.
- scarwars, on 02/08/2009, -2/+4twitter is by definition only used by morons
- inactive, on 02/09/2009, -0/+2Why? He's still both alive & able to potentially reproduce. Darwin Awards, as I understand it, require either death or permanent reproductive inability.
- disgruntledgoat, on 02/08/2009, -0/+2Good point, and there is a growing need for these social communications tools in government/industry circles that has been made somewhat more secure than twitter!
He's likely just letting his mates know he arrived safely, etc.. a lot of the higher ups spend their time in endless meetings and negotiations if they can have a tool to do this more effectively they should have it.. but not rely on a public portal?! what the..? - reiner15, on 02/08/2009, -1/+3Great, this moron represents my district. He supposedly wants to run for gov in '10 too.
- drunkenoaf, on 02/08/2009, -0/+2On the other hand, it doesn't seem like he knows of it well enough to understand that EVERYONE can see what he tweets.
- CosmicSurfer, on 02/08/2009, -0/+2"don't know if Rep. Hoekstra broke any laws by revealing the trip, but the political blogs are fond of pointing out that such a security lapse is surprising for the Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee. "
That's assuming that they have to be intelligent .......... These two Rushians lack intelligence of any kind - TheSwashbuckler, on 02/08/2009, -1/+2Figures it'd be a Republican...
- akchrs, on 02/08/2009, -2/+3"Republicans ought to get Democrats to file their taxes. You only have to pay if you get appointed to the cabinet! This is outragous!"
- noahhoward, on 02/09/2009, -0/+1Maybe I'm just behind the times, maybe I'm really ahead of the game but, what's the problem here?
- nebujal, on 02/08/2009, -0/+1Quite the ploy to get his followers up, watch out Kevin Rose...
- novenator, on 02/08/2009, -0/+1He was calling him a twit I believe.
Whats awesome about Representative Pete Hoekstra (R - MI)?
Seriously asking, I know nothing about the guy. - elisianfields, on 02/09/2009, -0/+1he was, until Christmas Eve.
http://twitter.com/osamabinladen
and apparently, the real Osama was hooked on Twitter until the end of January.
http://twitter.com/the_real_osama - disgruntledgoat, on 02/08/2009, -1/+2I bet he is saying to the guy who told him about twitter.. " u didntz telz me da hol intadanat would knowz?" lol
- Bartboy919, on 02/08/2009, -2/+3What a moron.
- inactive, on 02/11/2009, -0/+1Until something very bad happens (to either the politician's balls or his ass) it's still not in Darwin territory.
- jadambrinson, on 02/08/2009, -0/+1Usually you have to declare them for tax purposes.
- darlingt, on 02/09/2009, -1/+2Not if he gets his ass blown up by breaching his security...
- m0n0kr0m3, on 02/08/2009, -0/+1Used by the republicans that have been terrorizing us for more than a decade....
- m0n0kr0m3, on 02/08/2009, -0/+1explain how the Democrats always breach please. I'd like at least 3 examples. If not I'll be digging you down.
- mrcoderga, on 02/10/2009, -0/+1Nobody said there was a problem here. Congressmen are using Twitter. That's it.
- saheld, on 02/09/2009, -0/+1This reporter is an idiot. If you bother to Google, there are several public articles about this "secret" trip. Much ado about nothing.
Here's an example - http://johnboehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.a ... - inactive, on 02/08/2009, -1/+2Whatever you say, bitch.
- Jordan117, on 02/09/2009, -0/+1Pronounced BAY-ner, unfortunately.
