Chuck Grassley's Twitter account is becoming a bit of a cult classic.

I love Twitter and spend most of the little social networking time that I even have on Twitter. One of the strangest real Twitter accounts is Chuck Grassley's (R-IA), he's notorious for strange and sometimes cryptic tweets, often with typos or just incoherent. He gets Re-Tweeted by everyone mockingly. Take these for example copy and pasted word for word:

1) The govt food police came around to local school said"no catchup" so kids bring their own catchup. What's accomplished? Too much govt?

2) I now h v an iphone

3) Evrybody asking how Romney"relates"to avg person Me thinks"no problem" but if so I hv answer "just lv starch out of shirt"

4) Why don't people who want support PresO $$$$$$ mail in money so he can stay in DC governing it's rediculus that He has done abt 100 funders

Even the lack of spaces between words is his doing. I'm not sure Chuck Grassley is competent enough to hold office.

He's always complaining that the HC shows no history.
