More Hoekstra heckles from twitter comments:

I laughed so hard that water came out of my nose -- now I also know what it is like to be waterboarded.

A bear wandered into my yard last night, and now I know the utter terror of NIght of the Grizzlies.

I skipped breakfast this morning, and by lunch I was starving. Suddenly I feel a kinship with Mahatma Gandhi.

I had to drag myself out of bed today. Now I know what it's like to be a paraplegic.

"My mom made me carry the trash out to the alley. Now I know what the Bataan Death March was like!"

In my office, and a little stuffy. Just like Pompeii in 79 AD.

Lost my Congressional seat in 2010, guess I know how Black people felt under Jim Crow.

I was served chai tea this morning. Now I know what it is like to be hemlocked like Socrates.
Then I touched my hot breakfast plate and felt solidarity with Joan of Arc.

I woke up under my covers today, kinda like I was buried in a coal mine cave in.

After cleaning off my desk this morning, I sneezed four times. I felt just like those people who lived through the Dust Bowl.

Overheard Iranian Protestor to friend:
I was rounded up, beaten, had my family and my own life threatened and was tortured until I finally grovelled and apologized to Khameini.
Now I know just what it feels like to be a Republican who criticizes Rush Limbaugh.

I went down my slip and slide ... and I felt like Capt. Sollenberger in the Hudson.

Our two-year old had gas last evening. I'd never really appreciated the Tunguska Event until now.

These are comments about the tweets mocking Hoekstra. Some are a hoot.

I'm grateful that despicable dirtbag isn't from Florida. OTOH my GOP "leaders" aren't much better.

Post more here folks!

These are so funny!

Now I truly understand the horror of Auschwitz.

no I get what it's like to be an American hi-tech worker. Oh, wait a minute. I really *am* a former hi-tech worker in the US. Only it was 7 YEARS ago, not 7 minutes. :cry:
