Spurred by a blogger to vent about gridlock and political posturing in Washington over the debt ceiling crisis, the Twittersphere was burning this morning with citizens' grievances against their government, announced with an expletive-filled hashtag - vulgarity mixed with insight and a lot of common sense.

Jeff Jarvis (of Buzzmachine.com) promoted the flood of Twitter messages with the hashtag #F---YouWashington.

Another virus is the one that says "so and so uses twit varify click here, blah blah blah" (cant remember exact wording lmao) that is the one that got me a few months ago. It took over my twitter account and tweeted until they reached the twitter limit. I had to reset my pw and delete all of the tweets. I was not happy!!

Amid stalemate in debt-limit talks, Americans take their frustrations to Twitter

That Americans are incensed at Washington comes as no surprise: There have been rallies upon rallies and polls upon polls.

And now, there is a hashtag.

Journalism professor and media watcher Jeff Jarvis took to Twitter on Saturday night amid the latest breakdown in the negotiations on raising the country’s debt ceiling and expressed his frustration with Washington politics.

In the hours since, his #f***youwashington hashtag has gone viral as Twitter users across the country have used it to vent their anger at politicians in the nation’s capital.
