Ha! Well done. Exactly nine days after setting up a Twitter account, the Secret Service was seen to post the following: “Had to monitor FOX for a story. Can’t. Deal. With. The. Blathering.” The tweet wasn’t deleted in time for all of the giggling, left-wing internet to leap at it. An “internal follow-up” is in progress.
Presumably the tweet and the poster’s career were deleted at the same time. The Secret Service has since released a statement, apologising for the “unapproved and inappropriate tweet,” which apparently does “not reflect the views of the U.S. Secret Service.” Which is as big a surprise to me as anybody.
