Benedict Arnold's Dad Tweets For His Return


After his grave was disturbed in Connecticut by the ruckus raised over the trade of Sergeant Bergdahl for five Taliban leaders last May, the ghost of Benedict Arnold's father has closely haunted the debate in Congress and in the press. Feeling that the Obama Administration's bring 'em home no matter what policy has opened the door to his son returning to the colony of his birth to finally rest for eternity, "Big Ben" Arnold has begun a poltergeist campaign in the cell phones of members of Congress on both sides of the aisle.

Some of the tweets Congressmen and women are claiming are not of their tweeting include:

"We should have gotten Bill Belicheck of the New England Patriots to make the trade. He always gets the best deal."

"I say we should have given them back all the prisoners. That Guantanamo has become a muslim Club Med."

"We should give West Point back to the British. Come December, maybe they can beat Navy."

"Red coats, red states, blue coats, blue states, patriots, loyalists. In his day it's like Arnold just switched parties."

"You can't relate the American Revolution to other wars or even other revolutions. It was more like Syria and what's going on in Iraq. "

"The American Revolution really always was about Afghanistan."

"If Benedict Arnold were alive today he's have a talk show."
