There are so many good causes out there today, and I have so little time to give to them. However, I think I can squeeze in this little commitment: Join the campaign to get Tracy Morgan on Twitter. As twacy.org bemoans: “Today in America, celebrities are tweeting the mundane details of their lives, yet millions of children will go to bed without knowing everything Tracy Morgan has done.” Whether or not that’s for the best, I would agree with this person that few stars fit better into—and would delight more in— the 140-character-or-less format than the 30 Rock crackup who’s full of absurd, off-the-cuff gems, onscreen and off. Go ahead and imagine the sweet tweets that could flow from the fingers of the man who has delivered such lines as “Live every week like it’s Shark Week” or “I am the face of post-racial America. Deal with it, Cate Blanchett!” While we wait to see if this campaign is successful, check out Morgan’s edgy greeting cards, or “Me-Cards,” which help promote his memoir I Am the New Black, which hits bookstores on Oct. 20. So, what do you say, PopWatchers? Is this cause just—or just silly? And who else would you like to see on Twitter?

he’s the most random guy ever, which i guess is perfect for twitter
Oh, I would so love that. I still laugh everytime I think about that “Deal with it, cate Blanchett!” line at the Golden Globes.
He’d be perfect for twitter. Also, Ricky Gervais and Lisa Kudrow, how dare you deprive the world of your tweets?
I hate twitter more than anything, but I completely agree that TM would be PERFECT for it
I do believe that Twitter was *made* for Tracy Morgan.
Aye, Tracy! Poifect!
I’d also like to see Jane Krakowski while we’re at it.
I endorse this idea. I would also suggest Tracy promote a “rant-off” and pick one person every day to just hate on.
Your wish might have come true….today @RealTracyMorgan appeared. He’s been pretty crass so far, so it might be the real deal!
