Well, the times they are a’changing.

The Republican National Committee used a Twitter link to refer to something about the Maryland Republican Party.  Trouble was – the link wasn’t to the Maryland Republican Party.  The link was to Sexy Car Babes with a heavy emphasis on the Babes part.

It seems the Maryland Republican Party changed its Twitter handle and didn’t bother to tell the Republican National Committee. I dunno, with the splits in the Republican Party right now, maybe the two of them aren’t speaking to each other.

To make matters even dumber.  Dirk Haire said there was no problem as far as he could see,

Maryland Republican Party chairman Dirk Haire said he wasn’t worried about the mix-up between the two Twitter accounts.

Twitter is for the media and sports and Hollywood celebrities, Haire said.

“Like virtually all Americans, I don’t go on Twitter,” Haire said. “We use Facebook much more than twitter.”

Well, yeah, if you’re over 60 years old. And by the way, Dirk, unlike real Americans, has a Twitter handle. @DirkHaire.

Duh.

Thanks to Mari for the heads up.
