<b>Morning Chatter</b>

Quotes of the Day Journo in a Dress: "And here's a photo of me circa 1991 wearing my cousin's dress after I got my clothes dirty. #NOSHAME." -- Simon Landau, web producer for WUSA9. WaPo does walk of shame "Congrats to the Washington Post for not getting scooped on their own scoop today." -- Megan McCarthy, News Editor at the New York Observer. On Tuesday there was grand confusion when Bloomberg cited WaPo for breaking the news that Rick Santorum was suspending his presidential campaign. WaPo did break the news, but not in print, not online and not on Twitter. Needless to say, no one bothered to inform many of their reporters. Gawker's Fox News Mole: The fallout "Well done @Gawker, you've changed a Fox News mole to a disgruntled former employee in only 1 day. You're nothing if not efficient. #Caring." -- TownHall.com and Breitbart.com's Derek Hunter. And the mole..."If Fox has smoked me out, it's news to me. I'm still here." And then he wasn't. Late last night just after 11 p.m., news of the mole breaks. It's Joe Muto. On Gawker he says he has been at FNC for the past eight years. Expect more from him today... Former FNC employee David Shuster reacted to the news, saying, "Nice try @joemuto, aka 'Gawker's Fox News mole.' Now that you are out of FNC, you will sleep a hell of a lot better... trust me." "If @gawker's Fox News mole is, in fact, found, and Nick Denton wants to pay someone to be a @wcp mole, I'm available." -- Washington City Paper Managing Editor Mike Madden. "It would be something if the #foxmole was romancing the wife of a top Fox exec. #TinkerTailorSoldierFoxNewsHost" -- MSNBC Contributor, Mother Jones Washington Bureau Change and Showdown author David Corn. Conspiracy theories (now debunked) "What if there's like six Fox Moles pretending to be one person so if any one is caught they're exonerated when someone else posts?" -- TPM's Benjy Sarlin. What's Roland Tweeting? "Workout cut short due to impending Zimmerman arrest. Gotta get dressed and head to @CNN in New York!" -- CNN Contributor and "Washington Watch" host Roland Martin. ThinkProgress.com: "EXPERTS: Sean Hannity could be required to testify about his conversation with George Zimmerman" To which Politico's White House reporter Byron Tau replied: "He should refuse." The Self-appointed Media Critic "It's sad to see once legit reporters turn so far left to keep their jobs on left wing cable networks #MediaBias." -- HuffPost Contributor and former U.N. Spokesman Richard Grenell. To him we offer a ceremonious box of tissues. The Wise Guy "Personally, I oppose a war on women. I think we should let sanctions work first." -- Roll Call's Ryan Teague Beckwith. And now a few weird headlines from @HuffingtonPost: "Vaginal orgasm: myth or reality?" And this one: "Is male bikini waxing really a trend?"
