In honor of the late Noel Sheppard, we couldn't enjoy a Republican wave election without collecting some bitter celebrity tweets. It was fairly quiet on the celebrity-Twitter front. Some optimistic types -- John Legend, Russell Simmons, Kerry Washington -- celebrated the passage of California's Proposition 47, which will "reduce sentences in California for a handful of petty crimes — drug possession and some types of theft, such as shoplifting."
Bette Midler wins for the most sulky tweet, and the rest are amusing as well:
Well, we can look forward to: unregulated banks, no health care, filthy air and oceans, and WAR, WAR AND MORE WAR. Thanks, folks!
