Teen To Brownback: You Suck!

This is truly hilarious!    Teen refuses to apologize for speaking her mind.  Governor "blows a lot."

Last week, during a Kansas Youth in Government field trip, Sullivan watched Gov. Sam Brownback speak. Unmoved, she cavalierly tweeted to her roughly 65 followers, “Just made mean comments at gov. brownback and told him he sucked, in person #heblowsalot.” A teenager tweeting that her governor “sucks” and “blows” – “a lot”? Sounds like grounds for an incident of national proportions!
Sure enough, Brownback’s office – the Thin Skin Division — noted Sullivan’s tweet, and contacted Youth in Government. As Sherriene Jones-Sontag, Brownback’s communications director, explained to the Kansas City Star,  “That wasn’t respectful. In order to really have a constructive dialogue, there has to be mutual respect.” She added, “It was important for the organization to be aware of the comments their students were making.” . . .

In retrospect, it’s pretty funny that Jones-Sontag proclaimed last week that “It’s important for students to recognize the power of social media, how lasting it is. It is on the Internet.” It sure is, communications directors and school principals. Sullivan, who says she was “just joking with friends,” has seen her Twitter following swell to over 7,000 followers. And a petulant outburst has now become a full blown news story.

Ya know?  Anyone with half a brain would readily acknowledge that Brownback does indeed suck!
