 Congressional Staffer Fired Over "2 Broke Girls" Tweet http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/rep- ... itics.htmlHonestly I feel kind of bad for him. It wouldn't be a difficult mistake to make, and the tweet is pretty harmless.

Re: Congressional Staffer Fired Over "2 Broke Girls" Tweet That was a pretty hot ad and getting fired over what he did seems a bit overboard.
Maybe he can make a cameo on 2 Broke Girls. I'm thinking a friend of Oleg's.

Re: Congressional Staffer Fired Over "2 Broke Girls" Tweet That's certainly not worthy of being fired. Poor guy.

Re: Congressional Staffer Fired Over "2 Broke Girls" Tweet Tweeting from his bosses account is kind of hard to overlook. I've seen people get fired for less. That's at least can be argued on the "Hacking, or humiliating your boss" grounds.
Me Likey Broke girls is one hell of an interview story though.

Re: Congressional Staffer Fired Over "2 Broke Girls" Tweet Liking 2 Broken Girls is more than enough reason to be fired.

Re: Congressional Staffer Fired Over "2 Broke Girls" Tweet Yeah, this is pretty stupid. Poor guy. It was an easy mistake and it's not like he kept the tweet on there.

Re: Congressional Staffer Fired Over "2 Broke Girls" Tweet Yeah, seems harsh. I suspect there are other factors as to why he was fired but as per usual, the last straw is usually the least offensive.
