Twitter user @IanDonovanVP gave liberals quite a thrill on Sunday afternoon when he tweeted that Paul Ryan had unfollowed Mitt Romney on Twitter. The news was so succulent to liberals that the original tweet was gleefully retweeted more than 1,000 times. Donovan had previously tweeted about Rep. Ryan’s alleged diss hours earlier without fanfare.
.@RepPaulRyan changed his name back AND HE UNFOLLOWED @MITTROMNEY

It wasn’t until he tweeted about it again that liberals went nuts … and so did he.

Just heard Paul Ryan unfollowed Mitt Romney. I'll be curious what Paul's niece, who I know, thinks of that.

Oops! The only problem is that Rep. Ryan never unfollowed Mitt Romney. The @RepPaulRyan account only follows one account: @NationalDebt. What a shock! The @PaulRyanVP account follows over 200 accounts and the first two accounts it followed were @MittRomney and @AnnDRomney. The account still follows both Romneys, as well as Tagg Romney, Josh Romney, and the Romney Bus, among others.
So Ryan never unfollowed Romney after all… RT @AlexJamesFitz: The @RepPaulRyan has only ever followed @NationalDebt, it's a statement.

1) @RepPaulRyan always followed only 1 account. 2) @PaulRyanVP still follows @MittRomney (its first follow). Let's stop retweeting garbage.

Foiled by facts and a little bit of research.
FOILED!

@MicahGrimes @ethanklapper I saw the Rep account didn't follow; I thought the VP was a name change, not a separate account. Whoops.

Twitter is hard! However, facts are not going to stop this brave Tweeter from capitalizing on unverified information and 100% incorrect information.
@alex_prewitt Too late I'm bathing in faves/RTs and followers HI HATERZ
— ian, istigh go deo (@anfeardathuil) November 26, 2012
Over 1,000 retweets for a thing I wrote while pooping. How does it feel, Twitter?

All is not lost for @IanDonovan. Certainly there is a place for such an effective manure spreader in the Obama White House. Rumor has it the U.N. Ambassador job is about to be vacant.
