This morning, RI Associated Press reporter Erika Niedowski reposted a tweet from Rep. Dan Gordon that tagged local media, and said, "You're all reporters. Report." So I figured I'd take a look, but our town's state representative won't let me see his tweets. Twitter indicates that he has specifically blocked me.
How's that for transparency, eh?
It's not like I don't give Rep. Gordon ink: see my previous coverage here.
Full disclosure: I'm not sure exactly what political perspective Rep. Gordon identifies with, but I'm pretty sure I don't share it.

Gordon's Political Affiliation
I believe that Rep. Gordon is a member (along with John Cleese?) of the "Silly Party."

I have an idea!
Danny Boy has an alternative Twitter account that tweets on his behalf: @VegasLitigator. Although he likes to portray himself as "Mr. Constitution," you can ask @VegasLitigator his opinion of the Federalist Papers as well. The answer, unfortunately, is that he has never heard of them. But blocking a citizen journalist is First Amendment 101; too bad Danny Boy cannot comprehend that, either.
