Shecky Grassley

Digby brings up what I mentioned to a few friends but didn't blog about yesterday. One of my State's senators, Charles Grassley, has -- after a long career of presenting a picture of Iowa that matches American Gothic -- suddenly developed either Tourette's or a hankering for bad comedy.

But even more disturbing is Grassley has started twittering -- and it's kind of embarrassing -- even by text messaging standards his spelling is atrocious.
