Why We Like Him: Warning: Amidst the many religious (and sacrilegious) Twitters out there, this one proves to be even more offensive and crude than the rest. Complete with @ mentions to the Dalai Lama and retweets from Kurt Vonnegut.
7. Name: Betty White (@BettyFcknWhite)
Followers: 58,962
Last Tweet: 7/10/2011
