Congressman Ross confirms he will never wear a meat suit
You can’t make this stuff up- and, thanks to twitter, you don’t have to! Yes, postal “watchdog” Dennis Ross actually tweeted this:
@tommychuck @thatJgirl Not even close. Nor will I ever wear a meat suit.

But to be fair to the Congressman, it was late, and he was watching his favorite hockey team, the Tampa Bay Lightning, play the Boston Bruins in a Stanley Cup game (yes, they apparently play ice hockey in Florida- who knew?)- here’s how the “meat suit” denial evolved:
Great effort by @TBLightning tonight. Taking one in Boston is great, time to come defend home ice!Dennis Ross

To which “Tommy Chuck”, apparently a Lightning fan himself, responded:
@RepDennisRoss And to think… U are making major policy for our country. Lol.

… which drew this from a Ross fan:
Explain. RT @tommychuck: @RepDennisRoss And to think… U are making major policy for our country.

Tommychuck defended himself:

… and Dennis’s fangirl was all smilies, if somewhat menacing:
.@tommychuck Ah, good! Only caught the end. Ask anyone- It will go badly for you if you attack my man @RepDennisRoss

… and that’s where Lady Gaga came in…
@thatJgirl I’ve been attacked by @LadyGaga fans before. U telling me @RepDennisRoss has a twitter army defending him like that as well?

All of which led to the words which posterity will forever associate with the legacy of Congressman Dennis Ross:
@tommychuck @thatJgirl Not even close. Nor will I ever wear a meat suit.Dennis Ross

… but we’ll let Tommy Chcuk have the last word:
@RepDennisRoss don’t knock the meat suit until u try itTommy Chuck

And who says simple bloggers can’t provide hard hitting news coverage!
PS- the story has a happy ending, too: the Bruins WON, 6-5!
