New tool posts deleted congressional tweets

2012_05_politwoopsWatch what you tweet, because even the delete button won’t save you, especially if you’re in Congress.

The site already includes more than 3,000 tweets dating back more than seven months.

Some gems discovered include former Louisiana Governor and presidential aspirer Buddy Roemer wondering what the word “Fubar” meant.
