A recent study by TweetCongress found that tweeting by congressmen was down 28 percent for the last work week (May 30 to June 3). While the start of that time period includes the Memorial Day holiday, it’s interesting to think about if Rep. Anthony Weiner‘s current social media scandal might have frightened some of his fellow politicos.
