Is it Andy Roddick's Turn to get Bitter on Twitter?

Is it Andy Roddick's Turn to get Bitter on Twitter?
Saying he's sorry, 140 characters at a time.
Andy Roddick apologized for his press conference walkout on Monday in the most unpersonal way possible - he Tweeted it.

As reported earlier on TennisNow.com, Roddick backed off his tirade in Tokyo, claiming that he had not walked out of the press conference but that the moderator had announced it was the last question of the day.

If it's true, that is one heck of a coincidence - that the question that made Roddick act like a baby was also the last question of the day.

More than likely, Roddick got home to the states and had a few terse answering machine messages from his agent, publicist or perhaps the lovely Brookyln Decker telling him what a jackass he looked like on television after getting his butt handed to him by Ivan Drago, and what was he going to do about it?

Twitter is an amazing communication tool, shown by its role in the rebellions in the Middle East earlier this year, but it has its limitations - notably that you're limited to 140 characters at a time and nobody can see your face when you're apologizing for looking like a moron.

I read the transcript of this interview. This "retirement" question was actually the last one, the moderator even said it. So obviously, one cannot "walk out like a baby" if the thing is over. What did you expect him to do? Sit there after the presser was over? Maybe if you spent some time doing what real journalists do you'd have known that without having to be told. That way YOU don't end up looking like a jackass....but it appears you don't need any help there, do you?
