Joe Biden joins Twitter
2011-07-04
The famously verbose Mr Biden sent his first-ever Tweet on Monday, a July 4 message from himself and wife Jill Biden asking Americans to take time to think about U.S. troops and military families on US Independence Day.

His office announced the development with a post on the White House blog.

Given his gift for gab, as well as gaffes, Mr Biden might seem an unlikely candidate to say it in 140 characters or less. However his Tweets will be staff-written.

#3  Wonder if the sacrifical staffer has already been chosen?

Yes, he used to work for Anthony Weiner.

#2  What the hell is the purpose of Twitter, anyway? The only thing it seems to be "useful" for is letting a bunch twits celebrities engage their fingers (or thumbs) before putting their brains in gear. (Not that their brains are usually in gear anyway, no matter how long they take.)

"[Biden's] Tweets will be staff-written." Smart move to make that announcement; that way when he does get his hands on whatever it is you use, and makes his usual dumb remarks, he can blame a poor staffer. Wonder if the sacrifical staffer has already been chosen?
