Washington Tweets

by Bill Adler

Washington tweets. A lot. The Washington Tweets column is a collection of the most interesting, recent Washington-area tweets. These tweets reveal a candid and fascinating portrait of what is on our collective minds: Twitter gives a snapshot of what we're doing, thinking and hoping for. Washington Tweets is Washington in the raw. Bill Adler tweets at @billadler.

Just boarded at BWI. @Delta your organizational skills are a joke. Boarding process awful, attendants not helpful, carry-ons out of control CM Barry (D-Amnesia) says there's a higher standard for public officials when it comes to conduct.

I wish the "reply all" button rquired people to click & respond to a "Do you REALLY want to send this stupid message to everyone?" prompt.
