The Associated Press reports that Newt Gingrich will announce his presidential campaign on Facebook and Twitter Wednesday.

Of course, John Podhoretz asks, “how will a Gingrich announcement on Wednesday on Twitter handle the fact that it will be old news on Twitter by 11:15 am today?”

UPDATE: And then, on Twitter, Gingrich says, “Be sure to watch Hannity this Wednesday at 9pm ET/8pm CT. I will be on to talk about my run for President of the United States @seanhannity.”

Well, that would appear to let the cat out of the bag, wouldn’t it?
