Dear John Oxendine, Get the Hell Off Twitter

by Erick on January 1, 2010

You are embarrassing yourself.

“The 11th-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions are set to tangle with the 13th-ranked LSU Tigers in the Capital One Bowl from Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium in Orlando.”

(SOURCE)

Note to the Ox, the Dawgs played last Monday night against the Aggies in Shreveport, LA in the Independence Bowl. They won.

Lawton points out that UGA played Michigan last year. So, um, what the hell? Was he googling to put up something sports related?

This is like him tweeting a few weeks ago that he was in church singing. First, even I don’t tweet once the service has begun and second, he was tweeting at a time the church in question was not having church services.

UPDATE: The tweet and its corresponding Facebook entry have both been deleted. Ox will now claim it is a Peach Pundit conspiracy and no one should read Peach Pundit.

They played Michigan State last year in the Capital One Bowl. Since his tweets go to Facebook also, he is getting an earful over there.

Lawton Sack January 1, 2010 at 1:25 pm

To view the carnage at Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/john.oxendine

Lawton Sack January 1, 2010 at 2:00 pm

Well, looks like the comments are gone.

apacheangel January 1, 2010 at 5:55 pm

Unless of course you’ve been a victim of his defriending rampage!

umustbekidding January 1, 2010 at 8:13 pm

I was defriended long ago and I am thankful for it. I couldn’t take anymore of his stupid post. ;-)

Charlie LaFountaine January 1, 2010 at 1:10 pm

And this man is running for Governor of Georgia?

M January 1, 2010 at 1:11 pm

Pandering Fail.

Ali January 1, 2010 at 1:15 pm

#fail (but the lumbering Ox wouldn’t know what that means)

Clayton January 1, 2010 at 1:18 pm

This is what happens when you Google “UGA bowl game 2009″ except it’s really 2010.

galiberal January 1, 2010 at 1:26 pm

Wow, the man is an idiot. This is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen.

galiberal January 1, 2010 at 1:51 pm

Never fear Erick, I snapped a picture of it on his Facebook Account :)

Doug Deal January 1, 2010 at 2:17 pm

It’s called getting Jeff Breedlove to be your “Social Media Consultant”.

Ox likely has never personally signed into his Twit account.

Charlie LaFountaine January 1, 2010 at 6:22 pm

“Ox likely has never personally signed into his Twit account.”

Oh, I think he’s signed into his Twit account plenty enough. His Twitter account? Now that’s a different story.

Doug Deal January 1, 2010 at 7:07 pm

Well played.

Mozart January 1, 2010 at 10:09 pm

(laughing myself to a stomach ache with both Charlie and Doug’s comments)

galiberal January 1, 2010 at 2:38 pm

Well maybe he should… lol

ready2rumble January 1, 2010 at 3:23 pm

Wasn’t Georgia ranked number 1 in the polls at the start of the season that this game was played in? Foreshadowing?

Lawton Sack January 1, 2010 at 3:40 pm

Wow.

LoyaltyIsMyHonor January 1, 2010 at 3:36 pm

I know it’s only Jan. 1st, but this will probably be in the top 10 for one of the best threads for all of 2010.

IndyInjun January 1, 2010 at 4:17 pm

Loyalty,

I agree.

Ox would like to delete it…….or stretch the authority of the Insurance Commissioner to regulate blogs.

Silent Outrage January 1, 2010 at 4:46 pm

I hope that some of these people who support him start to see the light in 2010.

B Balz January 1, 2010 at 4:48 pm

WOW!

B Balz January 1, 2010 at 6:02 pm

What became of the N Ga Indy remarks?

umustbekidding January 1, 2010 at 8:14 pm

what happened to Nindy? Did the duct tape on his trailer fail? ;-)

Rick Day January 1, 2010 at 5:37 pm

Hey give THE Oxen™ a Break!

He is trying really really hard to reach down to the common folk, yo!

Kinda like Cheney at a NASCAR race.

macho January 1, 2010 at 9:41 pm

I think Kerry has the reputation for trying to reach out to the common folk NASCAR fans.

BuckheadConservative January 1, 2010 at 11:03 pm

I think either trying to relate to the average NASCAR fan is equally foolish.

Briardawg January 1, 2010 at 5:49 pm

Where must you be sticking your head if you thought after this past football season Georgia would be playing in the Citrus Bowl? I mean, really?

apacheangel January 1, 2010 at 5:57 pm

Awwww….let’s stick to making fun of THE OX…

Medic8310 January 1, 2010 at 5:51 pm

Wish all the candidates would stop tweeting everything. They sound so fake when they tweet. Famous quotes, bible verses, the links to positive editorials on the candidates, praises to local GOP’s and DEM’s for putting on such a great meet-and-greets, poor attempts at being sports fans, and the pathetic and desperate last minute fund raising pleas! THEY ALL SOUND FAKE!! Graveling and pandering for support has reached a new low with this group of candidates!

Maurice Atkinson January 1, 2010 at 6:09 pm

Medic831, I agree 100%. It’s a phony attempt to make someone appear to be politically intelligent with a higher intellect than the average Joe. I never paid much attention to it until this post.

I’ve seen some of it from a person running for a seat here in Middle Georgia. This copy and paste crap is ridiculous. Frankly, I think it makes the candidate look like an idiot and will wear him/or the audience down. Perhaps we should take bets on who will tire first.

Mozart January 1, 2010 at 10:13 pm

I thought the purpose of Twitter was to allow morons to post whatever crap that runs through their minds at any one point…just so they won’t store it all up and go postal one day with all the voices in their head.

Maurice Atkinson January 2, 2010 at 8:32 am

That is probably the only purpose of it. I signed up on it (har har), but don’t see any meaningful purpose in it.

B Balz January 2, 2010 at 9:15 am

You’re killin’ me here!!!!! LOL

macho January 1, 2010 at 9:36 pm

Ox is really just a poor imitation of Clinton. Neither has any true core values. He just behaves the way he thinks will get him the most votes. Since he and his staff always seem to be slightly off on the mind of the average voter, Ox comes across as a characterture of a politician.

He happens to spout out a lot of regurgitated conservative crap, because he lives in a red state. Put him in San Francisco and he’s fighting for gay marriage and reparations.

The trouble is the Ox, and his nerd herd campaign staff, don’t know a single thing about sports. There are not enough voters who appreciate fine wine, caviar and broadway plays; so they branch into the unknown fields of sports. They know the average Joe watches some sort of simulated field combat called American Football, so they’ll Google the two home state squadrons every week or so and plagiarize a sports writer on Twitter. Can’t wait to see the twitter posts on the high-performance automobile races at the Atlanta motor track and the Greco Roman championship between Mr. Flair and Mr. Hogan.

He’s probably got a campaign staffer trying to locate Boss Hogg and Uncle Jesse in South GA to secure their endorsements.

Mozart January 1, 2010 at 10:15 pm

Why be so discriminatory? What about Daisy’s endorsement?

inlimine January 1, 2010 at 10:32 pm

I always wait to see who Cooter endorses.

gatormathis January 1, 2010 at 10:58 pm

……Cooter done got to many folks in trouble already……..

Ludwig Von Beachbum January 2, 2010 at 7:09 am

I have never cared for Ox and I have met him twice at dinner and once sat next to him. I think he acts like a spoiled rich kid and could even possible have a few gay genes. I think he could lie at any given moment and would make one of the worst governors we ever had. With what he has already done it is hard for me to believe no one ever started the ball rolling to remove him from the office of insurance commissioner.

With that said…

It is starting to look like he is being attacked here by the powers that be to help another candidate. I get that from when something negative is said about the sacred cow, post are reduced to click on’s and the red numbers appear.

Oxy is a big enough jerk, in time he will reduce himself to human garbage . No need to cheapen this place by making it look like the sacred cows constant email solicitations for money.

willow knows all January 2, 2010 at 7:11 am

Erick, I thought you were representing Christian values and that includes your foul language.

MasterHiggins January 2, 2010 at 8:03 am

I marked him as spam with the never ending emails. Gee dude your like those Viagra emails. On and on and onl and on. enough.

ByteMe January 2, 2010 at 9:51 am

If your e-mail lasts more than 4 hours, you should see a doctor.

Ken in Eastman January 2, 2010 at 1:05 pm

LOL! (literally)

Doug Deal January 2, 2010 at 1:09 pm

And if the text of the email is longer than 6 inches, you are probabloy lying.

umustbekidding January 3, 2010 at 10:11 am

hahahahahaha ;-)

Doug Deal January 3, 2010 at 12:50 pm

Awwww, Kelly, you’re too easy.

If I ever get a gig as a stand up comedian, I will pay you to sit in the front row.

Jeremy Jones January 2, 2010 at 11:03 am

Politics as usual.

You will notice, I do not, often, post things about my family, my church, my interest in a particular sport or team. None of that matters when running for office.

If me being a UGA fan, or not, was fundamental on how I would serve the people of Georgia, then I think it would be appropriate.

With that said, I still do have a business to run, so, on Twiter and FB, you will occasionally get an update in that regard, but nothing more.

Obviously he is not a college football fan at all, which is fine, until you try to imitate a football fan to garner votes.

Now, I know within an hour or two, I will get a phone call from the Ox camp telling me, as they have before, I should not be commenting on another race. Before you do call, know two things, first, I won’t be in today, I have wedding to perform, second, I am a Georgia resident, and I will be voting in July. That gives me as much right to comment on the actions of the candidate. If he would not do things like this, I would not comment.

Chris McFadden January 2, 2010 at 2:35 pm

As a proud graduate of the University of Georgia School of Law, I would like to state, once and for all, that I support the Dawgs in every game they play – whether or not I watch the game, or even know about it, and regardless of when it is, was, or will be played.

LoyaltyIsMyHonor January 2, 2010 at 5:11 pm

Wow, that’s a first. A candidate pandering on a thread that’s criticizing a candidate for pandering.

B Balz January 3, 2010 at 6:40 am

If you know Chris, as I do, this is humor. But wait, no mention of Stormy Petrel love? Egads, man!

Part-Time Atlanta January 2, 2010 at 3:49 pm

I missed the game yesterday. Did UGA beat Michigan?

Doug Deal January 2, 2010 at 3:53 pm

It was postponed to last year.

Ken in Eastman January 2, 2010 at 4:58 pm

LOL!

IndyInjun January 3, 2010 at 10:55 pm

Deal, I hope Sammy boy got a big dose of this part of you.

Man, you are SMOKIN’.

My sides jiggled for a while after reading that.

Ronald Daniels January 2, 2010 at 9:03 pm

I highly doubt Oxendine knows what Twitter is really, much less how to use it. The real question here is, who is the idiot campaign staffer and why would Oxendine keep someone around like that?

Ronald Daniels January 2, 2010 at 9:07 pm

Hit submit before I meant too;

I expect candidates to surround himself with the type of people who he will bring into office when elected. If Ox is rolling with a support staff that can’t get a google search right, then I am 100% positive I don’t want those people working in the Gov.’s office.

macho January 2, 2010 at 10:34 pm

If he’s obsessed with something as pop culture as the Academy Awards, then I feel confident he knows how to use Twitter.

BuckheadConservative January 3, 2010 at 12:02 pm

Adverse selection

macho January 2, 2010 at 10:33 pm

Please tell me this jackass is not going to be our Governor. I can’t deal with 4 years of lame attempts to seem like the average guy. Surely he would become a national embarrassment before his term finished.

B Balz January 3, 2010 at 6:41 am

I can give you over 120,000 reasons why he is a National embarassment NOW.

macho January 3, 2010 at 9:47 am

It’s almost as if he’s a robot, trying to simulate a human. Something is not quite right.

macho January 3, 2010 at 9:55 am

Do you remember those old WWII movies, when the American Soldiers would come across someone claiming to be an American; the first thing they would ask them is “who won the World Series.” This was a test to see if you were a spy. During WWII, if you claimed to be a GA Citizen and a huge Dawg Fan, but had thought they already played their bowl game, the soldiers might have shot you for being a spy.

Chris January 3, 2010 at 10:45 am

Now that’s an idea

Ludwig Von Beachbum January 3, 2010 at 10:58 am

ROBOT OXBOT LOL

Comfortably Southside January 3, 2010 at 1:20 pm

The Ox gettin’ the Knox

drjay January 3, 2010 at 4:50 pm

oh heck, did i miss the uga michigan state game again this year?

IndyInjun January 3, 2010 at 10:21 pm

Ox went from impersonating police in pursuit to impersonating a candidate.

The closest he will come to seeing the checkered flag would be if he could see his checkered past.
