VP Biden is tweeting

Vice President Joe Biden is Tweeting!  Biden is notable for his gaffes, so what he says in 140 words could be among the more interesting Twitter accounts.... unfortunately, his staff is apparenty managing the tweets, so we expect that it will be pretty straight forward.   

The first-ever tweet Monday was a Fourth of July message from himself and wife Jill Biden asking Americans to take time to think of the troops in battle.

Biden can be found on Twitter  @VP.

His account is part of the White House's growing focus on social media.  On Wednesday the White House will hold a Twitter town hall with President Obama will take questions via Twitter, though he'll respond verbally.
