QUOTES of the DAY Whose got the ugliest, most loathsome facial/neck/seeping into chest hair in America? Meet America's non-journalist Ian Murphy, the Buffalo Beast's prank caller who appeared on MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell Wednesday night. Please, Murphy, buy a razor, this is terrifying. Number of days since @DCJourno has tweeted: 9 (His/her last utterance was on FishbowlDC with this interview by intern Alec Jacobs. We don't think Alec's interview caused the disappearance, but we hope the anonymous D.C. tweeter will return soon.) Tapper Block Watch "This is spamming and if u keep doing it i will block you." -- ABC News White House Correspondent Jake Tapper to a follower named @Chani_11 Wednesday. Tapper is known for his no nonsense Twitter personality. Prank on a prank "Just got a call from David Koch. What does he want at this hour?:-)" -- Syndicated columnist and Strategic Communications Strategist for Bullfight Strategies Karl Frisch in a Wednesday tweet. Reporter wins the morning, noon & night "Politico's @mollyesque wins the morning/noon/night with Vanity Fair shout-out for her lede about Reid and hookers." -- Politico Deputy Congressional Editor Martin Kady goes all out in a Wednesday tweet "Win the BLANK" analogy about reporter Molly Ball, linking to this. "Man" panel "Im the least manly person alive, but what the hell/RT@LetsTalkLiveDC We're gearing up for a "Man Panel"w/Adrian Loving @Bkownacki & @PWGavin" -- Politico's Patrick Gavin in a Wednesday tweet. Fellow man panel members are Brendan Kownacki ("media adviser, strategist, producer, commentator and self-proclaimed futurist") and Adrian Loving (self-proclaimed DJ, "social stylist" and graphic design professor. In 2009 he told Washingtonian that he dances in front of the mirror daily.) TBD fallout "And, the next shoe drops at @tbd: major layoff." -- Former TBD GM Jim Brady in a Wednesday tweet. "TBD has not failed. A venture has to be given a chance to succeed before it can fail." -- Robert Frost? Not really. These are the words of TBD's Community Engagement Director Steve Buttry. "Really disgusted by some Tweeps gloating over what happened @TBD. We all work in the media. Any one of us could get laid off any day #awful" -- The Washington Examiner's Nikki Schwab in a Wednesday tweet. Jim Brady reveals true feelings about Mark Judge "So let me get this right...Your biggest failing is not being the New York Press?" -- Community Journalist Jen Connic in a Wednesday tweet to Jim Brady in reference to Mark Judge, who writes opinion pieces for The Daily Caller. Judge trashed TBD in a story Wednesday in which he wrote about applying to TBD for a job. Brady's response to Connic: "Apparently. And that I didn't hire him. He's lucky I don't publish the e-mails he sent me before I blew him off." Another line from Brady: "Best is the "he's an idiot" part followed by his desire for a job under said idiot. I think that technically makes him an idiot." And this: "Damn, now I see my mistake. I didn't listen to a guy who wanted a job at TBD despite my apparent hackery: Silly me." A scribe's dishwasher nightmare "All-day, Kafkaesque nightmare buying a Sears dishwasher today. And still not done installing it." -- Congressional Quarterly's John Donnelly in a Wednesday Facebook update. Bret Baier: hooked on golf "Watching the replay of the golf. Was trying to go to bed early but I am hooked. Can't wait for good weather and green fairways." -- FNC anchor Bret Baier in a Wednesday night tweet. (Baier is more than a decent golfer. He lettered on four teams at DePauw University and is a member at Congressional Country Club.) Necessary Tweet of the Day "For the record, everything I type after 10 p.m. should be tagged #latenighttweet and considered accordingly." -- Metro Weekly Co-Publisher Sean Bugg in a vital Wednesday night tweet at 11 p.m. (This item was in direct defiance to Metro Weekly writer Chris Geidner's request.) Media assoc. at war with her clothes "Tried on seven different outfits this am. Bad way to start off the day." -- Rachel Slobodien, senior media associate at Heritage Foundation in a Thursday morning tweet. The week in birthday wishes... The Hill's Molly Hooper and TWT's Ben Birnbaum. Happy Birthday!
