Fake profiles: Condi on twitter

We already showed that politicians using social media can turn out to be very funny or at least entertaining. But most of the time this is just a nice side effect that is not intended by the politician or party themselves. But then there are accounts that have this single intention: to mock the alleged owner. Those are fake profiles. There are 65 listed fake profiles from politicians on twitter alone.

One among those belongs to Condoleezza Rice. Well not herself, because obviously it’s fake. Her Bio on this account says: “Aspiring NFL Chairman or Concert Pianist”. She tweeds under the short name of “Condi”. Sadly “her” last tweet was in November 2007. But this one shows very well, that this cannot – under no circumstances – be her own twitter account: “Dammit, Rove! How many times do I have to explain TiVo to you?!?! (He forgot to record the Browns/Ravens game last weekend.)”

Most of the tweeds are about her working life with George W. Bush. Just like this one: “G. thinks he's so funny. He keeps popping into my office singing "Condi, Condi" to that "Candy, Candy" melody. NOT FUNNY, G.W.!” This fake account does a good job at making fun of Condoleezza. It makes her look like a naïve woman, who is just interested in girly stuff instead of politics: “OMG, cutest halter ever top at Forever 21. I'm so getting it G.W.'s girls. Maybe they will introduce me to Paris!”

Her profile picture is also well-chosen. It shows an angry Condoleezza, indicating the size of something with her fingers. What she was talking about at this exact moment is open to speculations…

She sadly has only 38 tweets. If I had to pick my favorite one of them, it would be the tweed from December 2006: “AWKWARD! G. just caught me texting with "Obama," but he thought it said "Osama." Doy!” It’s hilarious on so many levels.

Dear inventors of Condi’s fake twitter profile: PLEASE get back to work. You did a good job. Fake profiles are a great contribution to the world of social media. They are hilarious AND have an actual link to current politics. Way to go, folks!
