Staffers of Rep. Rick Larsen boasted over Twitter that they were drinking and otherwise goofing off on the job, according to a story in the NW Daily Marker.

The website said the tweets gave off the impression of "a staffers-gone-wild bash" in the Washington Democrat's office, including insults lobbed at the congressman himself.

Note that this article is from the Washington Times, and it does not mention that Rep. Larsen is a democrat. Politico has a similar article, and it too does not mention the party affiliation of Larsen. I expected more of the Times. Obviously, if the staffers had been employed by a 'pubbie the affiliation would have been in the first sentence with the rep's name.

The Party Party at it again. TF’nK celebration.

It's right there in the second sentence. I was so used to the "hide the Democrat" policy that I was shocked to see it. I guess it is OK in this case because it is the staffers acting up instead of the Congressman himself.

“Note that this article is from the Washington Times, and it does not mention that Rep. Larsen is a democrat.”

Geeez....the second sentence says “....the Washington Democrat’s office....” How much more do you want?

Seriously, the Washington Times is more-or-less on our side.

I only know that he's a democrat because I voted against him several times when I lived in WA state.

[izzatzo]

So it does, my mistaken oversight, usually they don’t.

Now who’s the idiot? Lost your cushy job!

In other messages, staffers called the congressman everything from "my idiot boss" to unprintable derogatory terms such as the one George W. Bush used to refer to a New York Times reporter in 2000.

He called the senator a "Clymer"??

[longtermmemmory]

The AP is really going full out overt to protect the democrat party.

[EyeGuy]

Term Limits for the entire Washington DC area.

Everyone. Down to the janitors.

Heck for EVERYONE on the government teat, across the nation.

[Starboard]

At this point, when the MSM reluctantly runs a story on political dishonesty, criminality, malfeasance or indiscretions you know it involves a Democrat right away when they don’t tag the miscreant with the Republican lable in the opening sentence.

[goseminoles]

Man, I haven’t heard the word clymer in a long time.

[Max in Utah]

It's been replaced by the term 'obama'.

As in "Where's the Preparation H? My obama is really itching!"
