[Ads-l] to live-tweet

[Jonathan Lighter]

The context suggests he would be Tweeting about the hearing.

T: "There's a Congressional hearing, and I'm live-Tweeting."
J: "What are you live-Tweeting about?"
T: "The hearing, lunkhead!"
J: "Oh, I thought you were live-Tweeting about the executive order on your
desk."
T: "Why would you think that?"
J: "Because I'm a lunkhead?"
