Twit-ter Twit-ter

What is with the journos? Why can't we let a man tweet in peace? There's a ridiculous report in an agency saying Shashi Tharoor is complaining about his workload. There are a number of people following the junior minister for external affairs and most of them may be journalists waiting like vultures to prey on his words.
First the cattle class and now this. Why are we going overboard about his tweets? He has a right to his opinion like everyone else doesn't he?
Guaranteed that he must exercise restraint while replying to comments such as the 'cattle class' remark, but all the criticism surrounding that can also be taken with a pinch of salt.
So much for the holy cows all around us. There are politicians out there doing much worse and here we are following his tweet with an eye for a blooper.
Is it really that big a crime or even that newsworthy if a minister says he has a 'ridiculously full schedule'? At least one thing is clear, a lot of twits, unlike Tharoor, have a lot of time on their hands — to make news out of every twitter.
