QUOTES of the DAY CNN Senior White House Correspondent Ed Henry never ceases to amaze when it comes to Hawaiian sunset photographs. Merry Christmas Ed, you lucky __, for getting to spend all that time in Hawaii. Weird fact of the day that you should forget immediately: Salon's Alex Pareene owns a cat named Stephen Meow-kmus. Like Stephen Malkmus, the lead singer of Pavement (and Portland resident). Tschidapalooza Continues... "Don't worry macho people, no tears. Maybe a fist through the wall, YAH! Better?" -- ABC7's Stephen Tschida in a tweet earlier this week (yes, I'm officially obsessed with this guy and it's not going to end anytime soon. We're proud to be one of the chosen 11 people he's following on Twitter.). But then he appears to defy what he wrote and added this tear jerker: "Thinking of mom, dad, so many gone. Sadness is part of the holidays. But ya know what, the more I think of them... the more I smile." In other Tschida news... he tweeted the following and his unamused boss told him in so many words to cut this sh-t out. He agrees he has to, and has since hit the delete button on this one. We support him in staying out of trouble (too much, anyway): "Got something stuck in my teeth. Asked the photographer I'm working with to use his tongue to get it out. gave me strange look." What does this even mean? "Browser averaging 60 seconds of color wheel grind for every four minutes of work. Telling me to go home, isn't it?" -- Slate's Dave Weigel in a particularly Weigelicious tweet some 22 hours ago. Scrooge-free zone "It is impossible to Scrooge it up when baking cookies in a house whose soundtrack is an 11-month-old niece and a mediocre Messiah recording." -- AP's Phil Elliott in a Thursday tweet. Dripping with jealousy of Ed Henry "I'm surrounded by adolescent Justin Beiber fans at Phillips Arena and @EdHenryCNN is surrounded by sand and waves. Boooo." -- CNN Contributor Erik Erickson in a Thursday tweet. (It's not often that one sees Justin Beiber and CNN Senior White House Correspondent Ed Henry in the same sentence, but it works well.) Gossip Girl goes home "Pittsburgh, you look so glorious." -- Washington Examiner's Nikki Schwab in a Thursday tweet. Journo eggnog suggestion "Nice thing about making home made eggnog is if you mess up recipe, add cheese, pour into skillet on medium heat & eggnog becomes egg omelet." -- New York Daily News White House Correspondent Ken Bazinet in a Thursday tweet. Scribe confronts height issues "Just got my White House holiday photo ... which reinforces just how short I am." -- Politico's Kendra Marr in a tweet earlier this week. Another attack on Ed Henry, of course "A moment of silence, please, for sacrifices by White House reporters who have to work all of Xmas week...in Hawaii." -- The Daily Beast's D.C. Bureau Chief Howard Kurtz in a Friday tweet. Hayes's obvious fan club prez A watcher from Texas named Ashley Hord tweets, "Chris Hayes has got to be the most annoying guest host ever!! No more @msnbc. Can't even watch Countdown." To which Hayes retweets her and replies, "Merry Christmas." Apparently she feels a little tug of regret but not that much (thank God) and replies, "Merry Christmas! Nothing personal, just my preference. You obviously have a ton of fans, no need to worry about me." TV journo says: Please join my fan page "Don't forget to tune in tomorrow night for the SR All -Panel Christmas Eve show! And ...please head over to Facebook and check out my new fan page, Bret Baier...this is the official fan page, but for now we are also keeping our Special Report fan page." -- FNC's Bret Baier in a pre-Xmas message on the Fox News blog. We want to work here... "Morning meeting included many good ideas for the stories. Also, the phrase "donkey gang rape." Twice. #LoveMyJob" -- The Daily Caller's Jeff Winkler in a tweet earlier this week.
