A Tweet Just Leaked Out of My Wamp

Two Republicans on Thursday became the latest victims of a “phishing attack” that has inconvenienced a number of Twitter users this week.

Followers of Florida senatorial candidate Marco Rubio were greeted for a portion of this afternoon by tweets advertising a Web site that sells colon cleansing products. Some subscribers of Tennessee gubernatorial candidate Zach Wamp’s Twitter feed similarly received direct messages that them to visit a colon cleansing-related Web site.

Thankfully, today Rubio and Wamp’s Twitter accounts will go back to being completely full of shit.

Speaking of Rubio, I have high hopes that Sarah Palin will eventually turn her gaze southward and throw her support to Rubio (the wingnut’s wingnut). He’s up against the sorta centrist Crist in the upcoming GOP primary to take Mel Martinez’s old senate seat.

Crist would almost surely win statewide but might not prevail in the GOP primary if Palin comes out for Rubio. Isn’t there some way we can get these two great kids together?

I’d start pumping it up with my Team Sarah account, but I’d hate to be outed.
