And the "you got nerve" part has to do with the Obama family <A href="http://www.americablog.com/2009/06/obama-family-does-paris.html">taking in the sights of Paris</A>. Going out on a limb, I'm going to guess it was <A href="http://www.usmagazine.com/news/barack-and-michelle-obamas-parisian-date-night-200976">date night</A> that sent him over the edge</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/6/8/739923/-Someone-needs-to-de-tweet-Sen.-Grassley"><P>Surely there should be some sort of stand-in-the-corner timeout for such silliness on Twitter? Forevermore, I'm going to think of the senator as Chuck "I'm no NAIL" Grassley.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/6/8/739923/-Someone-needs-to-de-tweet-Sen.-Grassley"><P>What Senator Grassley meant, his spokesperson tells me, was that he would greatly appreciate it if Obama would "let the legislative process work" and show a bit more "bipartisan" spirit.
