David Burge (@iowahawkblog) November 02, 2012Oh, wow.
Andrew Breitbart’s Twitter account has been a silent memorial to the late conservative icon since his death on March 1. But today the account retweeted blogger David Burge, also known as Iowahawk.
Now the tweet is deleted but here's the image of the tweet from @AndrewBreitbart's acct http://t.co/cw9dT8wh—

Moments later, the retweet disappeared from the account.
And now the @iowahawkblog RT is gone!

Twitchy has verified that the tweet did indeed appear on Breitbart’s Twitter account. The tweet is archived by Topsy, an automated Twitter aggregation site.
Although it was quickly deleted, the retweet did not go unnoticed.
So @AndrewBreitbart is tweeting?—

Should we be concerned that a tweet just came from the @AndrewBreitbart account?—

@iowahawkblog I received @AndrewBreitbart tweet in my text messages cause I always had that notification on. WoW! Speechless. #goosebumps—

One possible explanation:
Im sure someone at Breitbart probably is in charge of @AndrewBreitbart's acct & tweeted by accident. But still felt good to see Andrew again—

Twitchy will let you know if details about the mysterious retweet emerge. With or without an active Twitter account, there’s no doubt that Breitbart is here. #WAR
