The Fake @SenSweeney Lands On Politico’s Top Tweet List

Politico released its “top tweeter” rankings, Save Jerseyans, and New Jersey’s representation on the list comes in the form of a parody account: @SenSweeney. As you can tell by the self-depricating “sausage fingers” description, this guy (or gal?) isn’t the real Senate President:

“…@SenSweeney, created in March to razz the Democratic president of the New Jersey state Senate, is really coming into his own. The real Sweeney has been in the news lately for seeming to turn against his onetime ally Gov. Chris Christie: “I want to punch him in his head,” the senator, who is not on Twitter, told a columnist. @SenSweeney’s shtick generally consists of mocking Sweeney’s blue-collar pretensions, machine politics and distaste for liberals. Sample tweet, directed at a national progressive group that targeted Sweeney: “Hey, everybody, I’m gonna eat some native american food in my kimono tonight w a sherpa. whpo’s progressive now, f—-ers?” Another sample tweet, directed at Christie’s official account: “@GovChristie Lissen here, tubs. You
keep this s—- uip and we’re gonna pass a tax on cheeseburgers. Now pipe down.” New Jersey sources say the author’s identity is a mystery.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

He-he.

In any event, whoever the real @SenSweeney is has an irreverent sense of humor and likely harbors some hardcore anti-Norcross Machine sentiments; only a North Jersey Democrat would insinuate that Sweeney is really a closeted Republican. We don’t want him…
