Raul Labrador Likey 2 Broke Girls
According to Rep. Raul Labrador's camp, this candid tweet was accidentally posted by a staffer, and is not an admission of the Congressman's terrible taste in TV shows. It came shortly after an episode of the CBS sitcom which showed the two young stars danced around a stripper pole, and shortly before the congressman's spokesman, Phil Hardy, was fired.

Ed Balls Starts International Holiday
You may not know this, but Ed Balls Day is actually an international holiday. At least according to the UK member of parliament's many Twitter fans. As legend has it, on April 28, 2011, Balls accidentally tweeted own his (hilarious) name when trying to search for an article about himself. Before long, the tweet sparked a unstoppable, Balls-tastic meme that included parodies, fake twitter accounts, movie posters, comic strips, and more. The rest is history.

GOP Celebrates the End of Racism
Sure, there's nothing wrong with showing a little love for Rosa Parks on the anniversary of her historic bus ride. But the GOP found itself in some hot water when the Republican National Committee suggested that racism no longer exists. It didn't take long before the ironic hashtag #racismendedwhen started trending.

Dan Pfeiffer Regrets a Typo
The now-deleted Tweet from White House Senior Advisor Dan Pfeiffer meant to say something along the lines of, "also a much bigger factor on the right," but accidentally included a racial slur that didn't make many followers happy (and prompted this apology).
