Louis Lucas is not just a member of the Virginia State Senate, but she’s also the president pro tempore. She’s kind of a big deal!
She’s also kind of a big clown. And a Democrat. But we repeat ourselves.
Anyway, Lucas is on the cusp of a major political achievement: crossing the 60,000-Twitter-follower threshold:
And because she doesn’t want to be caught unprepared, she’s decided to get a jump on the festivities:
How do you suggest I celebrate once I hit 60,000 followers?

We don’t expect her to delete the tweet, because she doesn’t seem like the shame-having type. But we went ahead and grabbed a screenshot just in case, to make sure that you could see all of her suggested methods of celebration:
If we were Louise Lucas, we wouldn’t be celebrating. Because it’s not a terribly impressive achievement to make partisan pettiness and immaturity your main selling point.

Workin’ hard for the good people of Virginia, Louise! Way to go!
She's been begging for followers for months now, and she's just now about to hit 60,000 as someone with her profile. Whoever runs this account doesn't have a concept of shame. https://t.co/6CVTiwsNrV

Louise Lucas's Twitter account is living proof that Dem gains in Virginia over the past 20 years had almost nothing to do with the competence of the people operating the party machinery. https://t.co/nnbZ64hP8R

If Virginia gets back on track, it will be despite the hard work of dedicated Democrats like Louise Lucas. Homegirl could have 20 million Twitter followers and still not be worth a damn to Virginians.
Please add "Quit Twitter" as an option.

We have a feeling that option would be polling at at least 99.9%.
