QUOTES of the DAY Journo wants to lose those last galling three pounds "3 pounds from my goal! Almost back to fighting weight but I CAN'T get there. Living on tuna and lettuce. What does it take to lose 3lbs?" -- ABC7's Stephen Tschida in a Thursday tweet. Can Weiner teach Lawrence O. a thing or two on Twitter? "I still don't know how to attach photographs to tweets. Maybe Anthony Weiner can teach me that next time he's on the show." -- MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell on his program, "The Last Word," last night. Author wants to capitalize on Weinergate "Need to find a way to get new readers out of this #weinergate thing. Um. Let's see. I'm pretty sure it's not a picture of me, either?" -- Chick Lit Author Jennifer Weiner in a Thursday tweet. Unnecessary Tweet of the Day "Enjoyed a toasted marshmallow #milkshake at the Georgetown Ritz tonight. Recommend a stop the next hot day...." -- Washingtonian Editor Garrett Graff in a Thursday night tweet. Oh boy, Graff really likes milkshakes. In July of 2010 he wrote a whole piece about where to find the best milkshakes in the Washington area in which he included a different toasted marshmallow variety that he muckraked at Good Stuff Eatery. He called it the "most adventurous" of the region's milkshakes because who doesn't find "adventure" in a milkshake? He opined, "While many ice-cream stands have good shakes, having one alongside a burger is a hot-weather treat." But you know what would be a real treat? To never have to read that demented phrase, hot-weather treat, ever again. On a good note... "Our politicians may not know how to agree on a budget, but their sexting skills are the envy of the world." -- Comedian and satirist Andy Borowitz in a Thursday tweet. WaPo's Eugene Robinson delves into Weinergate "In politics, it’s pretty much an immutable rule that if they’re talking about your underwear, you have a problem." -- WaPo columnist and MSNBC Political Analyst Eugene Robinson in a Friday morning op-ed on Weinergate. It's worth a look. Read here. He also says, "I have never taken a beefcake picture of my crotch." NPR's Carvin reveals greatest hardship of his job "In some ways the real-time RTing of fighting is the worst, because I get to experience the panic/fear of my sources as it happens. #spjchat" -- NPR's Andy Carvin in a chat with Society of Professional Journalists Thursday night.
