Rep. Rick Larsen's staffers go insane on Twitter, call boss 'idiot

Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) tried his hand at stand-up comedy last week, but he's probably not laughing at this: One of his staffers reportedly referred to him as "D*ck Larsen" over Twitter in late November. Tweets from other staffers of his weren't much better.

Via the NW Daily Marker:

Over several months, according to online messages allegedly made by staffers with Democratic Congressman Rick Larsen, the D.C. office of Washington State’s 2nd District has been the setting of a staffers-gone-wild bash, a binge of embarrassing behavior including insults lobbed by legislative aides at the Congressman himself and accounts of on-the-job drinking, all broadcast for the world to see on via Twitter.
[...]
Though the tweets were made (and are continuing to be made) from personal – not official congressional – accounts, the messages describe on-the-job drinking, frivolous misuse of office time and resources, and contain public insults aimed at the boss himself – Congressman Larsen. If accurate, the tweets – made during and after working hours – raises questions about whether Larsen and his senior staff are paying close enough attention to the workplace behavior of personnel on the public payroll.

The tweets came from staffers Seth Burroughs, legislative assistant (@therocketship1); Elizabeth Robbee, legislative assistant (@betsysbites); and Ben Byers, legislative correspondent (@byers_remorse).
