Meg Whitman Campaign Shows How Not To Use Twitter

tsamsoniw writes "California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman's campaign team attempted to share with her Twitter followers an endorsement from a police association. Unfortunately, the campaign press secretary entered an incorrect or incomplete Bit.ly URL in the Tweet, which took clickers to a YouTube video featuring a bespectacled, long-haired Japanese man in a tutu and leggings rocking out on a bass guitar. And for whatever reason, the Tweet, which went out on the 18th, has remained active through today."

No, Arnold can't run again. It's basically between Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown.

Jerry Brown is too soft on bass players!

Wrong country?

According to his You-tube profile, this guy is from South Korea, not Japan ?

He's playing Japanese music so it's an understandable mistake.
