Too Funny!!
Jon Huntsman’s daughters shamelessly promote their dad and refuse to take lessons from the stuffy campaigns of others. According to the Daily Beast:
Mary Anne, Abby, and Liddy, all stylish twentysomethings with a penchant for snark, have been chronicling their campaign misadventures with a lively Twitter feed called @Jon2012girls. Originally created to let their friends know where they would be stumping for dad on any given day, the feed has attracted nearly 6,000 followers and turned its authors into minor celebrities among the political chattering class.
It helps that the Huntsman girls seem allergic to the hyper-polished talking points that dominate presidential campaigns, sharing photos of themselves planking and sarcastically complaining about the campaign’s decision to relocate headquarters from Florida to New Hampshire (“Thanks dad.”) After their father appeared on Comedy Central’s Colbert Report, they tweeted: “FYI @ColbertReport has heated toilets in the green room. #hotbuns.”
They also seem to take special pleasure in needling the clean-cut, well-starched Romney camp. On October 11, for example, they tweeted at Romney’s son Tagg: “Want to tailgate for the next debate? Vegas wild. We’ll bring the godfathers, you bring the diet coke.” Then they added, “Mormon tabernacle choir can DJ.”
Is America ready for the Jon2012girls? They are too cute. I love their irreverence. Of course, Jon Huntsman is my R of the month. Careful what you say. He might walk away with the nomination. You never know. The rest are tripping and falling all over themselves.
