I’m a little late in covering Twittergate, the controversy swirling around Congressman John Culberson (R-TX) and his right to tweet from the House floor. In case you missed it, Cong. Culberson got into a little hot water with the House Dems when it was learned he was communicating with his constituents in real time via microblogging. The congressman defended his actions, saying his tweets gave his constituents updates on how he voted on bills, and why. He also uses Twitter to exchange ideas on policy and politics with other congressmen, staff, and constituents.

Culberson is joined in his fight by Congressman Tim Ryan (D-OH) and hordes of 2.0 activists. If you want to follow Cong. Culberson on Twitter, or just want to see what all the fuss is all about, go .

My question to the House Dem leadership is: In a time of low Congressional approval ratings, why do you want to be LESS transparent with the American people? OPEN UP AND TWEET!
