PoliTweeps: Jobs, Gaza and bikini-clad mannequins

I’ve gotta hand it to state Rep. John Lesch: while many politicians tend to use Twitter as merely a feed for press releases, the St. Paul Democrat gets more… creative. In addition to Lesch’s mentions of “foul-mouthed” tweeting and bikini-clad mannequins, today’s edition of PoliTweeps looks at jobs, Rep. Ellison’s attempted visit to Gaza, hometown comic Lizz Winstead’s take on the Republican National Committee’s bondage-club fiasco, and more.
