So this is the “serious”  follow up to The Daily Show’s hilarious piece “Twitter Frenzy” aired March 2nd (see previous video).


It’s true!  Check out Tweet Congress. It’s site shows us which congressman are tweeting, who are non-tweeters and it gives you the opportunity to follow your esteemed senator on Twitter!  Hell, you can follow all of them!  If you’re into that sort of thing.  Did you know there are more Republicans than Democrats tweeting?  Who knew?  Do we care?  Who are the biggest twits?  I mean tweeters?  Who are the most active?


Ok, here are some stats.   John McCain R — AZ (145,929) is above and beyond the most followed with Claire McCaskill D — MO (13,738) although they are not the most active.  The most active are John Culberson R — TX (1,943) and Nancy Pelosi D — CA (609).  Of course I don’t know if this translates into political clout or not.  But the next time President Obama is addressing Congress, hop on Twitter and see how active our acting congress is.  Maybe even send out a tweet to your representative.  If your lucky you may even get an @reply!
