Um. That’s it.
The account isn’t verified, but the mockery sure is! Twitter users gasp for breath at the “bankrupt” Twitter feed.

Hey, what’s up, y’all?

Iowahawk then entered the mockery arena. And, as always, won the day with this snark-tastic tweet:
@CityCouncilDet 1 tweet in 2 years? I guess nobody bribes you to tweet.

Heh.
And this Twitter user offers up a painful exit question:
@iowahawkblog @instapundit just wondering what the taxpayer gave for that one tweet
