Its going to be Legend.....wait for it.....dairy - Barney - how i met your mother.

i love facebook, and i can defiantly say that i am an addict, in fact probably while i am writing this i have stopped to check in on multiple occasions :S but for me it is a place of friends and its pretty hard to write the wrong thing (common sense does help with this!). but it is well known that celebrities of many varieties that have slipped up by writing the wrong things on their social networking sites like facebook to twitter, and some of these celebrities include politicians!

so today i am going to devote this blog to the stupid things American politicians have written on facebook, and the repercussions of these 'status updates' thanks to a facebook group 'politicions say really stupid things...'

now, i am first going to start with the simple (and harmless) quotes written on facebook that have not affected their career but more made them look like complete fools...

Dan Quayle was the 44th vice president of the United States between 1989 and 1993 and when starting up facebook recently stated "It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it."???? WHAT THA!!!!????

"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country."
Mayor Marion Barry, Washington, DC - that's re-assuring :S ha ha ha ha

"I do not belong to any organised political party: I'm a democrat."
Will Rogers.
riiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhhhtttt??

and then there are these...the ones that would have had major impact on their career (and remember these people are leaders of our world)

"I haven't committed a crime. What I did was fail to comply with the law."
David Dinkins, New York City Mayor.- on accusations that he failed to pay his taxes.

and finally

"Anybody who enjoys being in the House of Commons probably needs psychiatric help."
Ken Livingstone an English politician.

but in all honesty, for the young adults who are voting for the future, facebook seems young and hip, and by these politicians using facebook, it shows initiative and a common interest between the voter and the votee.
not only is it a great way to express their policy views but offers the impression of direct contact with the lawmakers. it also gives us the opportunity to express our political views and talk about elections while in the election time.
but some think facebook is for relaxing and friend time, they don't want to have to think about politics when on facebook...

so with this information it is hard to tell if using a social website is a good or bad thing for politicians...
...what do you think?
