WASHINGTON, April 25 (UPI) — Former President Bill Clinton has joined Twitter with the handle @billclinton and already has more than 200,000 followers.

“Excited to join @ChelseaClinton and my good friend @StephenAtHome on Twitter,” Clinton posted in his first official tweet.
Colbert responded to the 42nd president’s new Twitter account.
“I taught @billclinton to tweet! This is almost as exciting as the time I taught Cheney ‘Dance Dance Revolution,'” he posted.
