Big Bird Tweets

I just read on Facebook that the most tweeted about political event is Mitt Romney's spiel about cutting funding for PBS in which he referenced Big Bird. I find it a little misleading that individuals mention that this event or that event is the most tweeted about happening; Twitter was officially launched a mere six years ago. I will continue to hold the belief that if certain political events occurred in the past six years, they would have easily surpassed the ridiculous volume of tweets that Romney's Big Bird received. In my opinion, there are a handful of tweet-worthy political events that happened just in my lifetime: the fall of The Berlin Wall, President Clinton's "I did not have sex with that woman" speech, the events of 9/11. My only hope is that something--anything--happens soon to replace this event in the Twitter record books. I feel confident that by tomorrow there will be a plethora of contenders.
