Using the handle @brianformerff, deposed Fianna Fáil TD, Chris Andrews, spent months spewing out a constant stream of bile and invective at the Fianna Fáil hierarchy, his constituency colleagues and, most bizarrely, himself.

Although the account has now been deleted, many of his venomous tweets can be still be viewed by doing a simple search of Google cache — the back up copy the search engine automatically saves of everything posted online.
