An 86-Year-Old U.S. Representative Tweeted The Word “Amazeballs”

Representative John Dingell (D-Mich.) is the longest serving member of Congress in U.S. history. He took office in 1955 and has been going strong ever since. The other day Rep. Dingell was afforded the opportunity to try out Google Glass. The 86-year-old enjoyed what I assume at one point he called a “contraption,” saying, “This is quite a machine!”

Quite a machine indeed sir, porn-less though it may be.

A reporter who watched Dingell try out the device tweeted that seeing the elder statesman use Google Glass was “amazeballs.” Dingell caught the tweet and replied in kind.

@TheFix I've been known to use some colorful language at times, but "amazeballs" is certainly a new one, friend.

Here’s hoping you keep using “amazeballs” sir, especially on the House floor, because C-SPAN is boring, and decorum is for pussies.
