| Tweet @ Bill Clinton |
Bill Clinton received a warm welcome from Twitter, after the former U.S. president officially joined the microblogging network Wednesday night.
Under the handle @BillClinton, he sent out two tweets on Wednesday, including one in which he expressed excitement
at joining his daughter and comedian Stephen Colbert on Twitter:
But those who visit Clinton's Twitter account will notice a third, noticeably sillier tweet sent on April 6. That message was actually written by Colbert (as dictated to him by Clinton) during an interview with the president on a special edition of The Colbert Report. At that time, the comedian had opened a Twitter account for Clinton under the handle @PrezBillyJeff, which now has its tweets protected.
For his part, Colbert celebrated Clinton's Twitter membership by, naturally, sending a tweet himself:
Prior to his official debut, Clinton's only Twitter presence was through the Clinton Foundation (@ClintonFdn). At the time of this writing, Clinton has over 215,000 followers and counting.
