Good news, sheeple: the most important instrument in our democracy, Twitter, is not “blocked on White House computers,” and Robert Gibbs will be sent to Turkish prison for a thousand years because he lied about this on the C-SPAN.
Or rather, Twitter IS blocked on “official” White House computers, for now, but the communications office people are working with the White House counsel and CIO to relax those restrictions, and meanwhile the people who do the twittering — Obama’s new media nerds — all work outside the White House, in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
The larger point here is that what Twitters do exist from @WhiteHouse come from a legitimate source working on government-issued computers and servers, not a pack of sinister creeps evading records retention statues by twittering quietly from that private Tennessee pedophile cave you’ve heard so much about.

Twitter Not Blocked In White House, As It Turns Out
This headline just screams “ambivalence”.
Hey, Robert Gibbs… How about, in honor of the American Soldier, you stop making things up?
[re=371346]SmutBoffin[/re]: Maybe it does and maybe it doesn’t.
The real creeps are those records retention statues. Reminds me of the scary Doctor Who episode, Blink.
[re=371345]slithytoves[/re]: The salient quote FTFA:
“If in the White House, is HootSuite enabled on the White House computers?”
Can someone explain to me what ‘HootSuite’ is? Sounds disreputable.
[re=371355]hobospacejunkie[/re]: Win.
You’re going to have to be more specific. Tennessee is practically riddled with caves.
Twitter. Oh, I saw 500 Days of Summer. It sucks wolf dick from a helicopter. One star.
