As Ebola tweets spread on the Hill, so do the jokes

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on Oct. 20, 2014

The #Ebola hashtag took over the top spot on Capitol Hill last week, with more than 1,200 tweets by current and former members and their staffs mentioning the deadly virus since last Monday.

But a few staffers this month interrupted somber Twitter feeds with light-hearted takes on Ebola. A few of their greatest hits:

Andrew J. Kugle, Staff Assistant for Rep. Kristi Noem (R-S.D.)

Chris Peleo-Lazar, Correspondence Manager for Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.)

J.P. Freire, Communications Director/Speechwriter,  Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.)

Donny Ferguson, Press Secretary,  Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas)

Amy E. Phillips Bursch, Senior Adviser,  Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.)
