Who let Republicans use the Twitter? Who told them that was ok? Michael Steele? "Iranian twitter activity similar to what we did in House last year when Republicans were shut down in the House," Representative Pete Hoekstra says.

Yes, according to Representative Hoekstra, this thing looks like that thing. Oh, and according to John Culberson, some jerkoff Rep from Texas, the attempts by Iranians to publicize news the government doesn't want released—acts that put their very lives at risk—are just like how congressmen Tweeted about how the Democrats were mean to them, yesterday.

How incredibly self-deluded do you have to be to say these things, in public?
