The Speaker Is Tweeting …

S.C. House Speaker Bobby Harrell – or rather someone who works for him – will be filling the air with status quo “Tweets” any moment now.

That’s right, having mastered Wikipedia (well, not really), the Speaker’s minions have set up a Twitter page for their boss, who they describe as “Speaker of the SC House of Representatives, small business owner, father and husband.”

What, no reference to Harrell being a “Republican?”  Oh … right … nevermind.

Although Harrell has yet to post a “Tweet,” he’s already off to a better start than his spokesman Greg Foster, who incorrectly spelled the word “Speaker” on the biographical section of his Twitter page.

Anyway, who wants to guess what Harrell’s first tweet will be?

Here are a few possibilities …

“These Tweets are hydrogen-powered, y’all!”

“F*cking FITS News … again.”

“I taught my son everything he knows about the ladies … just ask Greg Delleney!”

“Don’t believe a thing those Policy Council assholes say about me!”

“Higher taxes and more government … wait, I’m drunk.  I meant the opposite of that …”

“I have two words for Kenny Bingham – less teeth, dude! OK that’s three words.”

“Show him how it’s done, Jimmy Merrill.  Ahhh …”

“What anti-competitive special interest can I shake down this week? Bill Sandifer, bring me the lobbyist dartboard.”

“I’m going medieval on Nikki Haley and Nathan Ballentine this year. Believe that.”

“Chip Limehouse just reassured me his Innovista investigation is going nowhere. Awesome!”

“I can’t help myself – I love a man with some Harry Pastides!”

“Of course I love a nice Harry Cato, too.”

“And I’ve never been able to resist a Harry Ott.”

“My libido runs on fuel cells.”

“Wait till y’all here why I really didn’t run for governor! See, my insurance company, well …”

“Jim Barker looks like he’s been working out.  You go girl.”

“I enjoy letting Danny Cooper pretend like he runs the Ways & Means Committee.”

“Thank you, Speaker Cobb-Hunter, may I have another?”

“I have thinner skin than Wilkins? Than WILKINS!?!?!”

So … will you be following Harrell’s “Tweets?”  Be sure to vote in our poll below.

UPDATE: Twenty-four hours and counting … and nary a “Tweet” from the Speaker …
