@AmbassadorRice @StateDept @UKProgress think you've got the wrong twitter profile there!

Using the correct Twitter handle: What difference does it make?
Not much to National Security Adviser Susan Rice.
Hey @ukrprogess give @AmbassadorRice some #rspect. #reserach is hard.

On Monday, Rice tried to pimp @UKRprogress, the State Department’s “new Russian-language feed to counter misinformation on #Ukraine,” but her now-deleted tweet directed followers to an account that didn’t exist.

Because Twitter is Twitter (thank you, Twitter!), a salty parody account quickly claimed the erroneous handle.
Don't worry, @jimgeraghty, we will be using Russian swear words going forward: http://t.co/VHBxJNzltx

The second time is definitely not the charm for Ms. Rice. Here’s what she tweeted this morning:
@UKProgress appears to be an abandoned Lancashire Business School Twitter account.
. @AmbassadorRice @StateDept @UKProgress Interesting Twitter feed, by the Lancashire Business School. Not so hot, however, on Ukraine,
— Simon Marks (@SimonMarksFSN) March 19, 2014
The account’s most recent tweet is almost three years old.
Come over and see us at the SU this monday.

Oh dear.
I suspect the typos in Susan Rice's tweets today can be blamed on a YouTube video. http://t.co/4xPXmHfSUG

@AmbassadorRice it's @UkrProgress not ( @UKProgress, last tweet 2011 )! Please update.

Will a third tweet do the trick?
@AmbassadorRice @StateDept @UKProgress Time to try again – 3rd time is the charm!

@AmbassadorRice @StateDept
Maybe you should just give up on the link, Suzy. Or us third time the charm? #itwasayoutubevideo— Phil (@phil0616) March 19, 2014
I'm a digital media guy. Officials rarely ever tweet their own tweets. Susan Rice might want to make that clear & fire someone. #justsaying

Hey, guys. Look what Susan Rice can do!
Good work by @StateDept with new Russian-language feed to counter misinformation on #Ukraine. Follow @UkrProgress

[Update]
A prediction:
Susan Rice will book the Sunday shows to say it never happened. And they'll believe her. https://t.co/yJpyG9ZDPo @TwitchyTeam
