kcentv.com - KCEN HD - Waco, Temple, and KilleenHail To The Tweet: Dead Presidents On Twitter

(MSNBC)- In the old days, presidents had to rely on written messages and speeches to get their thoughts across. But what if there had been Twitter?

Among the many thousands of fake accounts on Twitter are those for at least 28 dead presidents of the U.S. In honor of Presidents Day, we've rounded up as many as we could find. Silent Cal? Not so silent. Tricky Dick? Just as foul-mouthed as the Watergate tapes suggest.

Follow M. Alex Johnson on Twitter and Facebook.

We're excluding living former presidents on the theory that they have fingers and could tweet anyway.

Mankind, when left to themselves, are unfit for their own government.

If there were a Vice Presidents Day, I would of course wish a happy one to @Garret_A_Hobart. But there isn't, because the VP doesn't matter.
