I’ve written before about how great I think John Dingell is on Twitter. (And I really, really hope it’s actually him. I’ll just keep telling myself it is, anyway.) The now-former Congressman from Michigan retired at the end of the year, but much to my delight he shows no signs of letting up on his constant Twitter brilliance–even through a rough patch that saw the Congressman in the hospital with a fractured hip. I wish him well in his retirement and fully expect that we’ll hear plenty more out of Michigan’s finest son. Check out some of the statesman’s latest gems from this winter.

In case you missed our first post about Rep. John Dingell's breakout summer on Twitter, you're in luck! He was just as funny and smart during the August recess, too. It's been clear for years that all of those congressional reps who haven't served 30 terms should probably take some cues from the Dean of the House. Who would've guessed one of those cues would be on social media?

Congressman John Dingell (D-MI) may be the longest serving member of the House of Representatives, but at 88 years old he's crushing his colleagues at the Twitter game. He may not have the most followers out of the whole pack, but he's undoubtedly got the most charm and the best sense of humor. Trust me, if you aren't following him then you're missing out. Take a look at these gems just from the last month alone.

He isn’t afraid to cut to the chase.

  He’s mastered the sarcastic hashtag.

  He wasn’t kidding about that cake.

  He isn’t afraid of a little age joke. 

He’s too smart for the Kardashian Kraze.

  He’s the Marquis of Michigan.

He doesn’t need no stinkin’ filter.

  He knows how to work the crowd.

He won the 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon game.

  He only endorses the truly important issues. 

He knows you don’t #TurnDown when his beloved Tigers are winning.
