QUOTES of the DAY Journo risks meat purchase at convenience store "Took a chance on some carne adovada at a convenience store in Alexandria after Dave Alvin show (typically terrific). Adovada almost as good." -- Albuquerque Journal's Washington Bureau Chief Michael Coleman in a weekend tweet. For the cuisine-challenged, carne adovada is marinated pork that typically comes in a burrito or taco. Something easily applicable to Washington life "My new pet peeve? People WALKING and texting- slamming right into me or stepping on my dog and sometimes onto the bumper of my car! @Oprah" -- Comedian Ali Wentworth in a weekend tweet. She's also the wife of ABC GMA's George Stephanopoulos. Bio of the Day Fake Howard Kurtz: King of all MSM. Philosopher of conventional wisdom: Beltway style. CNN host, former WaPo'er & now @TheTinaBeast's bitch. Location: Deep in the Beltway. Twitter debut: June 14, 2011. Goal: Garden variety sarcastic ridicule of Kurtz. My Source, My Source, My Source "My source told me what my source was told. Did someone misinform my source? I don't know. It is what it is." -- Conservative blogger Robert Stacy McCain to The Daily Caller's Jonathan Strong, who asked McCain, "Is your (anonymous) source 3rd or 4th hand? Just curious." McCain wrote on The American Spectator blog Friday that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is expected to announce her presidential intentions this week. Palin replied over Twitter, "Really? Hmm, guess they forgot to inform me what I'm 'expected to do' next week." McCain updated his post with the above Palin line and this remark: "OK, fine, governor, but I was reporting what my source had been told. Has my source been misinformed?" We think he's going to be waiting awhile. Picking a new Twitter handle for Weiner "In the spirit of true bipartisanship, let's help @RepWeiner choose a new Twitter name. Keep it clean (or not) #WeinerGate #Tcot #p2" -- Sean Hannity's Hair in a weekend tweet on what ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner's (D-N.Y.) new Twitter handle ought to be. A TV journo does Father's Day "Woke up to my 4 year old and 1 year old jumping on me! Best morning - breakfast - church and a little batman and iron man play in between." -- FNC anchor Bret Baier in a Sunday morning tweet. TV bungles Former CNNer Larry King confuses Saddam Hussein for Osama Bin Laden. He quickly corrected himself with help of CNN Host Howard Kurtz on "Reliable Sources." WaPo's conservative issues blogger Jennifer Rubin melds ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner and BigGovernment's Andrew Breitbart into "Andrew Weiner." Again it's Kurtz to the rescue. "Anthony," he says. Rubin quickly corrects herself and explains that Breitbart was also a central figure in the Weiner scandal. Media Travel Complaint Desk "Re my flight debacle, I finally took off from JFK 3hrs late. My PA spent night sleeping on airport floor and just got to LA. Outrageous." -- CNN talk show host Piers Morgan in a weekend tweet. Earlier he wrote, "Two hours on runway. No info re when we will take off. Clear outside, no rain. PATHETIC. Why do people just accept this crap?" "Witnessed the @UnitedAirlines computer outage craziness first hand picking my brother up at Dulles tonight. Confused reigned." -- The Hill's Keith Laing in a weekend tweet. A boisterous D. Shuster counts down to 'Countdown' "2 days and 19 hours until the debut of Countdown with @keitholbermann. Thrilling to be part of the team!" -- Current TV's David Shuster in a weekend tweet. Shuster will serve as a primary guest host for Olbermann when O can't make it. The program begins on tonight at 8 p.m. on Comcast Channel 107. Editor backs away from scary fast food line "Line for Shake Shack at Nats Park was terrifying. Retreating to friendlier ground. #HelloChiliHalfSmoke" -- WCP Managing Editor Mike Madden in a weekend tweet. After three weeks of Weiners, we think he should have battled the Shake Shack line and ordered a cheeseburger. The modern sex scandal "Digital evidence is the new blue dress." -- The Daily Beast's John Avlon on CNN's "Reliable Sources" on Sunday. A weird weekend convo between two journalists BigGovernment's Andrew Breitbart: "@joanwalsh I apologize for being mean to you, yo wanna have sex?" Salon Editor-at-Large Joan Walsh: "Thanks @AndrewBreibart, I'm just going to choose to take that in the nicest possible way tonight." (Dear Readers: This was a spoof Breitbart tweet, notice the one "t" -- so not from the real Breitbart.")
