We know that Twitter is a dream come true for narcissists and we know our share of them, right? (Heck, someone might even consider me as one.) But Tweeting Too Hard is an awesome Twitter mashup that never fails to disappoint in unearthing the best (worst?) ‘offenders’ out there.

“How can you spend hundreds of millions of dollars on contraceptives?” Boehner asked. “How does that stimulate the economy?”
Boehner said congressional Republicans are also concerned about the size of the package.
Excerpted from this article on Obama’s wranglings with the GOP in Congress. Mind you, the sentences are not taken from different parts of the article [...]

In response to John McCain’s ‘celebrity’ ad dissing Obama, Paris Hilton, one of the alleged bimbos depicted in the ad has responded [video link]. Her solution for energy independence actually sounds much better than the two guys. You say she was coached? And you mean the other two aren’t? I don’t believe I said something [...]
