@MayorFenty Twitter Feed Not Official!
There's been much hand-wringing of late over @MayorFenty, assumed to be Hizzoner's official Twitter feed.
But something wasn't quite right about it. The first tweet, on July 27, informed the world that this was a summer-jobs project. There's the poor design and copyediting, not up to the EOM's usual standards. Then there was the repeated admonitions to "stay in school!" And today comes a strangely relevant tweet.
Yesterday, LL was intrigued as to why Hizzoner's profile contained the line, "For more information about this profile contact McKennaLong & Aldridge c/o Jessica Abrahams,or Badele McQueen Esqs."
McQueen, reached yesterday at the law firm, had no idea what was up with that.
So LL asked mayoral communications director Mafara Hobson, who says her office has nothing to do with the @MayorFenty Twitter page. Someone's freelancing! "It's not ours," she e-mails. "Can you get the word out?"
A Twitter feed might be helpful for that!

How many times has CP told us that @MayorFenty was the real Fenty without picking up a phone to confirm it?

Loose Minds not just Loose Lips on the chitty paper. And I thought the mayorfenty was just to random, inappropriate, poor choice of emoticon and a rotten job. Now after finding it though the CP I now find it is a fake....
And Fenty kids in public school is a good thing for the city, schools, and all kids.
Why don't you figure out what's good, what's really bad and be a responsible contributor for the benefit of this town.
