Sen. Chris Dodd’s Twitter Account: ‘U Love Torturing Me with This Sh*t’

Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) is currently the talk of Twitter after someone with access to his account tweeted (uncensored) “U love torturing me with this sh*t.” The tweet was quickly deleted, and an apology issued, but not before the enigmatic missive was widely re-tweeted.

While Dodd’s Twitter feed quickly announced “From Dodd Staff – Apologies to Dodd’s followers, last tweet was not from Chris Dodd,” the errant tweet is already fodder for Twitter jokesters like Slate’s Dave Weigel, who tweeted “Members of all parties can agree that no one should torture Chris Dodd with sh*t. #genevaconventions.”

The real question: where did the tweet come from? (h/t Michelle Malkin)

Given the denial by Dodd’s staff, the obvious answer is that some intern selected the wrong account on his Tweetdeck, and/or intended the tweet to be private. However, as conservative tweeter Brittany Cohan notes, the offending tweet was sent via text message, making that explanation less likely. Twitter only allows mobile updates from a single phone number.

In any case, anyone who has ever sent out a Direct Message to the entire Twitterverse by accident can surely relate to Dodd and/or his staffer. Exit question: who do you think is being tortured, with what sh*t, and by whom?
