QUOTES of the DAY A journo can't work under these circumstances "Next door: young child running around screaming, old woman yelling at him. #killmenow" -- Washington Examiner's Lachlan Markay in a Thursday tweet. What are the Salahi's up to? "Salahi's confirm to me that they're worried about a stalker. Warren Co and LA police investigating." -- NBC Washington News Producer Matt Glassman in a Thursday tweet. A scribe's deep explanation of spring in Washington "Spring and summer are in an epic battle over who gets to exist this month in Washington." -- Politico's Jake Sherman in a Thursday tweet. Imus tweaks FNC's Chris Wallace "Imus jokes to [FNC's] Chris Wallace: 'I don't think you need to get snippy, you triple-chinned looking goober.'" -- Media Matters Fellow Eric Hananoki in a Thursday tweet. The Imus segment involved the hosts purposefully insulting each other. Maddow enjoys saying the word 'shtupping' "He was shtupping one of his own staffers who was married to another Ensign staffer, all of which was taking place while he was serving as the Republican party's Senate Campaign Chairman." -- MSNBC's Rachel Maddow explains Sen. John Ensign's (R-Nev.) extramarital affair on her show last night. Total number of times Maddow used the word "shtupping" in the entire segment: 6. Most Likely to Get Beaten up in a Cafe "Whats up with people who cant handle loud typing? Im a fucking journalist I type loudly." -- Freelance D.C. journalist Mike Elk in a recent tweet. He's a contributor to In These Times and has written for The Nation and HuffPost. A HuffPost bio says he likes crab cakes and Golden Retrievers. Dave Weigel on the Highest of Horses Slate's Dave Weigel is apparently The Decider these days of who among us is an actual journalist and who is not. Pssst Dave... you and I graduated from the same J-School, and just so you know, neither of us is in a position to judge whether anyone is an "actual" journalist or not. Some people actually think J-School is horseshit. In the past 24 hours, Weigel has decided that The Daily Beast's Meghan McCain is not worthy of being read. He has also declared that The Daily Caller's Jonathan Strong is an "actual" journalist while insinuating that @FishbowlDC is not. He tweeted the following: "Celebrity interviews of celebrities can be good (read the mag Warhol founded), but M McCain is supernaturally uninteresting." Supernaturally. Really? On Strong: "I did talk to the Caller's @j_strong when that all went down, but he's an actual reporter. Big difference." (P.S. We can hardly wait for your upcoming appearance on Bloggerheads.tv. Your appearances on there are always riveting.) Unnecessary Tweet of the Day "One day late on laundry... Two different socks? Don't mind if I do." -- Simon Landau, web producer for wusa9, in a recent tweet.
