The Colbert Bumb for Twitter?

In Wednesday's Colbert Report, Colbert comments on a report that 'lots of Congressmen were using their Blackberry's' during the President's Congressional Address.  It appears these Congressmen were actually posting to Twitter.  The bit demonstrates one of the benefits of Twitter: immediate access to inside information.  I'm surprised that Congressman even know about this technology, let alone comfortable enough with it to use in a situation like this.  Guess Twitter isn't just for teenagers.

The reference to Twitter starts around 3:45 seconds into the video.
