The song remains the same

This afternoon, we received a fairly mundane tweet from Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) but it reminded us of something greater.

The tweet said:

just left health care bill markup, now speaking on Senate Floor. Will be on MSNBC at 6:30 tonight talking health care reform. — staff

The “– staff” signature is telling. Three weeks ago, Twitter Room reported that Sen. Brown had joined Twitter “sort of.” Mike O’Brien wrote:

To Brown’s office’s credit’ the staff has denoted which tweets they’ve written (unlike several other offices, who tend to ghost-tweet). Still, the senator’s page gives no indication as to when he will — if at all — start tweeting for himself.

The senator’s Twitter feed shows that he has still not made a tweet of his own. That’s 21 days and counting!
