While the GWB facebook may be legit the Twitter account is a hoax

Yesterday, it appeared as if George W. Bush was on something of a social-networking bender. First, the former president annexed a small corner of Facebook, possibly believing it to contain oil. Next, he seemed to deploy an army of interns to Twitter. However, now that the fog of war has cleared, journalists are beginning to question the legitimacy of Bush’s Twitter invasion. The impetus for this recent wave of revisionist history is Michael Calderone’s tweet pointing out that the account was not verified, which is highly unusual for feeds belonging to celebrities and politicians. Calderone contacted the powers-that-tweet, who informed him that no one from the Bush camp had contacted Twitter to verify the account.

Next, David Almacy, George W. Bush’s former White House Internet director, tweeted to say that the account was not an official one, and directed would-be followers to a slightly different feed, one he deemed “the official George W. Bush Foundation Twitter account,” which is a verified account. (Bush’s official Facebook does not link to either Twitter.) Also corroborating Almacy’s claim? The “official” account has asked for money, and the unverified account has not. Obviously the real George W. Bush would request $50 in exchange for adding your name to something called “the Freedom Registry.”

This is good to read. Too much of George is a bad thing. A bad bad thing.

1. Does George even know which one of the Internets his Facebook account is on?

How will he ever find it with so many Internets out there? :shrug: :rofl:

3. I cant help but think he would be a perfect twit for twitter.

The 140 characters limitation would be more than enough for him.
