Cox to Grassley: You tweet like a 14-year-old girl

Air America correspondent Ana Marie Cox, arguably the Queen of Political Twitter, called out Sen. Chuck Grassley’s (R-Iowa) recurring shorthand in tweets, likening him to a 14-year-old girl.

Cox tweeted:

So so so much to love about @chuckgrassley’s tweets, but mostly it’s that he tweets like a 14yo girl. “Tlkd 2 seniors. Stdnts hv bst qstns.”

For comparison, here are some of Grassley’s tweets today:

First:

then:
