Oh look, former Gov. Jeb Bush has apparently joined Twitter, and even though he hasn't twatted anything into his tweet machine yet he already has 2,323 people following him!

That works out to a little less than 1 percent of the people who have followed Conan O'Brien since he joined the Twitterati yesterday afternoon and posted a single tweet: "Today I interviewed a squirrel in my backyard and then threw to commercial. Somebody help me."

Hopefully Jeb will gain more attention when he posts his first tweet. We hope it's something like "Tried to cut property taxes for the 10 percent of the richest squirrels in my backyard yesterday. Nobody helped me."
