White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, famed for his sarcastic zingers and ubiquitous sports analogies, could soon become known for pithy Tweets.
He spoke about his reasoning for joining hundreds of reporters on the social network Twitter during Tuesday's briefing.
When asked if he was firing off the messages himself or whether he had a ghost-Tweeter, Gibbs said "inexplicably, yes" and then went on to explain that he was drawn to the site after watching reporters' Tweets during a surprise presser President Obama gave last Tuesday.
