Don’t forget, Wretchard, Timmy already has a plan to deal with the closed system problem:

RUSH: How many of you people out there are on Twitter? The White House has invited the cofounder and the CEO of Twitter, a guy named E.V. Williams, to join in a discussion with young business leaders on the economic crises. E.V. Williams, Twitter, has six million members, and a 700% plus growth rate. However, they make no money in the in the United States. Heh-heh.
As the Twitter guy said,
“They must be really out of ideas if they’re having me up here.”

Now, again, they don’t make any money. So why is the guy there? There is a reason. You’ve heard about Obama’s Internet army. They Tweet. Obama’s entire operation is based on instant messaging to hundreds of thousands via Twitter to destroy Joe the Plumber, Rick Santelli, Jim Cramer — their failed attempt to destroy me… The attempt is just to destroy with these little one-line character assassination thoughts that go to these millions of people who use this, and that’s where the Democrats are way ahead of the Republicans on all of this.

But anyway, one thing about this Twitter business… We found out that there were four people impersonating me on Twitter. There were four pretenders out there. Our IT people at the EIB Network grabbed control of those, and we now control the Rush Limbaugh Twitter account, although I don’t Twitter. I haven’t put any Tweets out there. But we did get control of it. Wait a minute… Well, now I’m told that they’re still not shut down. Okay, I’m getting confusing data because my IT people told me we had gained control of the phony Rush Limbaughs on Twitter, but now my computer geek says no, they still haven’t shut ‘em down. These instant messages during the show are a distraction! And I’m beginning to think so is e-mail during the show. Bottom line, I don’t know if they’re still being used or not; I don’t care. For any of you who Tweet, it ain’t me if anybody says they’re me Tweeting. I’m not Tweeting.
