Rep. Inglis tweets while skydiving (sort of)

Twitter Room has come across a lot of crazy tweets in our existence. But we’ve never seen a Congressman tweet from an airplane while preparing to jump out of it:

Ladies and gentlemen, Rep. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.):

Headed now to jump site with 101st Airborne Parachute Demonstration team. Hoping the weather clears so I get to jump with America’s best.

Just boarded plane for jump. Going to go up and look for some blue sky. If we find it, I get to jump with the 101st Airborne!

These guys are amazing. Great to be able to see what they do. In training they jump into stable places. In war they jump into battlefields.

Perfectly good airplane and in a few minutes, weather permitting, the door will open and I’m going out with the Sergeant.

Looks like it’s a go. We’ve found some blue sky!

That last tweet was 11 minutes ago. Congressman, if you tweet while jumping, you might even surpass Chuck Grassley as Congress’s top tweeter.
