Teen Tweeter Won’t Apologize

For those of you who don’t know, a teenager (18-year-old Emma Sullivan) tweeted something insulting about Gov. Sam Brownback. And even though he is the governor, he still can’t send her to bed without any supper (because of that pesky First Amendment). So he ratted her out to her school, like any responsible adult would, since he couldn’t do anything else. (Even though I’m pretty sure it was Brownback who said: “No snitchin’!”)

But she’s not sorry! And she said she’d do it again! (I like that spirit!)

So in honor of this occasion of the little guy (gal, actually) getting one over on the big cheese, I say we should honor this young lady with a song! So, to the tune of David Bowie’s Jean Genie:

Teen Tweeter, ripped on Brownback,
Teen Tweeter, won’t take it back,
She’s outraged, by government fools,
Teen Tweeter, let venom flow-oo-oh-oo!

Here’s the story:
