Top Tweets: Dems' New Logo Edition

Ray Gustini Sep 15, 2010

The Democratic National Committee sent out a press advisory that chairman Tim Kaine would be making a "major" announcement at George Washington University today. This caused quite a stir. Sadly, "major announcement" turned out to be DNC code for "a new logo and website redesign." Twitter documented the disappointment in realtime.
