QUOTES of the DAY The Daily Beast columnist and Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) daughter Meghan McCain: "Hola from 35,000 feet! (I look weird because it's hard to twitpic on a plane)." CBS Sports Correspondent Kaylee Hartung: "My mom @julieetucker is in the studio with me... Being, well, a mom." Scribe offers St. Patty's threats "If anyone mocks the Irish today I’m gonna put down these bagpipes, drink too much of this Jameson, and start a fight. #HappyStPatricksDay" -- NJ's Susan Davis in a Thursday tweet. WTF at a glance "Bonefish w/ the wife. Bang bang shrimp here I come" -- The Washington Examiner's Freeman Klopott in a Wednesday tweet. We hope Klopott never employs these words again to his wife, to us, to anyone. Two journos with zero taste "It's a good thing they waited until David Broder passed away, or they would have had to give him his very own tab." -- Gawker's Hamilton Nolan in a Wednesday post. Followed by Salon's porn star mustachioed Alex Pareene, who couldn't even come up with an original disgusting line regarding the late Broder (who died just last week). Pareene had to borrow Nolan's "joke" and declare that this was the "joke I wish I'd made." Pareene goes a step further -- he can't even spell JournoList correctly -- he spelled it "JournList," saying, "Had they not fired Dave Weigel I assume he'd be left-leaning, maybe? Or maybe they fired him not for his JournList comments but because they weren't sure where to put him after the redesign." Pareene, you are such a class act. Brings tears to our eyes. [No links for losers.] Hulse adds a little color to Twitter "Lots of colorful metaphors in House debate on CR - lurching like drunken sailor, no way to run a railroad, water torture, pile of crap." -- NYT Carl Hulse in a tweet earlier this week. TV Journo off to Rio "Morning all! having breakfast with my family then off to Miami later today. Tomorrow I fly to Rio de Janeiro Friday for White House trip." -- NBC Washington's Jim Long in a Thursday morning tweet. Pundit wakes early to write "My weekly column is due on Thursdays, so I get up at 3am -- honestly it is the best hour to focus on the day ahead. Writing about budget." -- Democratic pundit and CNN Contributor Donna Brazile in a Thursday morning tweet. Watch Out: An FOW (Friend of Weigel) on the loose "Among the perks of hanging out with @daveweigel is that when he mentions you on Twitter the DC blogs who hate him start following you. #SXSW" -- Matt Repchak in a Wednesday tweet. God knows who Repchak is, but he says he tweets for work (a sports outlet) and is otherwise hanging with Weigel in Austin. The Critic "The WashingtonPost.com redesign makes me less likely to go back to their webpage, which i typically visit frequently." -- Politico congressional reporter Jake Sherman in a Wednesday tweet.
