Thaddeus Stevens Owns Twitter

People go to the movies to see "Lincoln" and come away talking about Thaddeus Stevens. Some samples from Twitter...

    I saw Lincoln today and now Thaddeus Stevens is my spirit animal.

    @AllisonC824 I really liked it. Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens was brilliant. If only I were witty enough to craft barbs like he did.

    I'd pay to see a Thaddeus Stevens like smackdown on CSpan today. Lord knows several Congressmen/women have earned it. #uppers

    I would have paid to see Thaddeus Stevens do stand up comedy in 1865. #Lincoln was awesome. #Spielberg is a genius.

    @Aisle424 @thekapman I would have liked to have seen even more focus on Thaddeus Stevens, but the movie wasn't called "Stevens."

    I did enjoy Thaddeus Stevens insulting Congressmen without using a single curse word. I must master this colorful use of English.

    @wedaman Thaddeus Stevens is not impressed by your "states rights."
