We’ve seen many politicians get themselves in trouble using government email accounts, but now we’re seeing those who get in trouble using Twitter.

According to CNN, Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL) — who also happens to be a Navy Reservist — sent several messages using Twitter while on active duty.

“Two questions are raised about these tweets. The first is whether or not Kirk revealed his location when he should not have (‘Loose lips sink ships’) and the second is whether or not his Twitter account goes against military regulations that state military members are not allowed to update or revise any ‘Web sites created before entry on active duty.’”
