Local print newspaper powerhouse Todd Vogt has thrown some shade at recently-burglarized Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi via Twitter. Vogt — owner of the San Francisco Examiner and the San Francisco Bay Guardian — unleashed a slew of pointed tweets to his whopping 40 followers (ha, burn) aimed at the former Speaker of the House and her arguably lackluster job representing the 8th District. "[Pelosi] has been a dismal representative for the 8th District," Vogt told the SF Appeal. "She was a totally ineffective Speaker and couldn't control her caucus."

Here are a couple of his angry tweets, which went live in November:

Since The Appeal's story broke this morning on the newspaper magnate's ire for Pelosi, he's been tongue-and-cheekily tweeting about Pelosi, among other things. Behold:

What is a newspaper tycoon such as Vogt doing taking BART, you ask? No idea. Crazy world.

Vogt became President of the the SF Examiner after the infamously conservative and backwards Anschutz's Clarity Media Group sold the Examiner back in November 2011 to a group that included Vogt and the CEO of Canadian newspaper company Black Press. Vogt also bought The SF Bay Guardian in April in 2012. (Pst, unconfirmed rumor has it that Vogt might buy East Bay Express So there's that bit of gossip, too.)

He does seem like a nice guy too, even if he is in the print-publishing world. Vogt gets to work with the fine folks at the The Bay Guardian, must to put up with SF Examiner EIC Stephen Buel, and for some curious reason, chooses to ride public transportation. Let's just hope he selects soon an avatar to replace the dreaded Twitter egg.
