David Balmer's green thong and other wit and wisdom from Lynn Bartels's Twitter feed

And this quality is in even greater abundance on her Twitter feed, where she makes the state legislature seem like a fun and interesting place to be -- or she did until making us imagine what hot-tempered Representative David Balmer is wearing under his pants on St. Patrick's Day.

Here's the tweet in question:
I just pinched Rep. David Balmer for not wearing green. My rule is thongs don't count. #coleg

Color us amused, Ms. Bartels. But not by Balmer's thong.
