Will George W. Bush join Twitter?
[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/10/14/art.bizstonebush.jpg caption= " George W. Bush meets with Twitter co-founder Biz Stone."]WASHINGTON (CNN) - After leaving the White House last year, George W. Bush has kept a low profile. He moved back to Texas and began writing his memoir. But on Tuesday, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone met with the former president. Bush said he just got a new BlackBerry. Stone, tweeting about his meeting, wondered if Bush will begin tweeting.
Someone has claimed the Twitter name @GeorgeWBush and added a photo, although there is currently no way to verify who is behind the account.

If that happens I'm leaving
Is this actually news worthy? Just reminds me, even though Bush wasn't a great president............he is still way better than the joker in office now.
The twit shall become a tweet!
I don't know about you but that would be awesome! G.W tweeting it up, that would be pretty cool. But I doubt he will, I know G.W quite well and not literally, I know how his mind works and he's not into that kind of stuff. But it would be kind of fun and cool if he does and what the heck, bust out the dad too!
I think him keeping a low profile will be fine and it shows he doesn't wanna get involve again on the scene, let alone in Twitter.
Maybe "W" can tweet how we defeated the Taliban and al-Qaeda in 2004 and had our undefined 'Mission Accomplished' in Iraq. Or, maybe he could tell us why the banks got $700 billion with no restrictions in his bank bail out.
Well he should join Twitter . . . seeing as how he's such a TWIT and all!
Interesting, was he sober?
I'd love to see his tweets! If he writes anything like he talks, the spelling and gramatical errors would have us rolling on the floor laughing.
Until we remembered that he was our president for eight years, and how he embarassed us every time he opened his mouth. I'm hopeful that "nucular," and all his other moronic talk, and his lack of effort and preparation, is all just a bad memory.
I'm so glad we went with the smart guy this time!
Is "Twitter" a word that GW can correctly pronounce?
Bush is a twit.
Is this really news? C'mon CNN. Way to many other issues in the world to publish crap like this.
Please don't!
The Dems Health-care reform warning to the GOP: "Vote with us with
no questions asked, or we don't deed you and we will go-it alone"
The outcome of this kind of thinking turned out to be DISATROUS..!!
Hmmm..... one has to wonder if it is appropriate for a twit to tweet?
Well, if he's out of crayons...
I hope his first tweet is "I'm sorry for screwing up this country".
he probably tried to eat the blackberry thinking it was a fruit, and he already has twittered for the last 8 years so shouldn't be a problem for him.
Bush never even used e-mail while he was President, why would he start Twittering?
Georgie-poo:
Keep on keepin' a low profile, OK, good buddy?
Why not have him team up with Sara Palin!!! That would be a GREAT PAIR!!!!
Does this mean he's learned how to read and write since he left the White House?
He needs to learn how to spell first!
Why not, he is already a twit.
Another twit on twitter !!
Who cares
