QUOTES of the DAY From one reporter to another "@aburnspolitico Sorry, I can't find the part in that story about his penis." -- Politico's Molly Ball to her colleague Alex Burns in a Wednesday tweet. It's roasting outside "People wearing dark suits in the sous vide bath that is DC's pre-summer swelter. Huh." -- WaPo's J. Freedom du Lac in a Wednesday tweet. A Weiner joke where you least expect it "It's easier to get an email from Weiner than to get you on." -- Former CNN host Larry King on "The Daily Show" last night explaining how hard it was to get Jon Stewart on his program. Weiner Parental Guidelines 101 "Prediction: Weiner child not allowed to use Internet for a lonnnng time." -- National Review Online's Jonah Goldberg in a Wednesday tweet. New kid on the block We came across a brand new reporter on the scene this week. His name is -- get this -- Michael Mayday. There are too many jokes here to boil it down to just one, but let's just say screaming "MAYDAY! MAYDAY!" during an interview with him could prove to be amusing. So would directing you to a video like this one. Or this one. But we're going to cut him some slack. The young Michiganian has been on the job one week. Publication: The Daily Caller. Welcome to the Fishbowl Mayday! HuffPost Hill has quite an imagination "Satan prepared his acting reel to audition for the part of 'Anthony Weiner' in the inevitable Lifetime original movie about this whole mess." -- Wednesday's edition of HuffPost Hill Edited by Eliot Nelson. So who would play Weiner and Huma and the cast of characters in a Lifetime movie? If specific actors come to mind, let us know at FishbowlDC@mediabistro.com or FishbowlBetsy@gmail.com. Ezzy likes salad "Just found out a Chop't opened a block away from my office. Life, or at least lunch, will never be the same. #firstworldbenefits." -- WaPo's Ezra Klein in a Wednesday tweet. We're delighted for him and now we know where to find him at lunchtime. The name of "The Daily Show" segment on Weiner last night: "The Wangover" Ahh memories... "One of the bratty boys I babysat when I was 13 is apparently in prison. I remember complaining to his sad mom that he chased me with knives." -- Laura Donovan, an editor at The Daily Caller, in a Wednesday tweet. Schultz gets emotional about Weiner and wife, Huma "For me and for many of us behind the scenes producing, the Anthony Weiner story is undoubtedly as sad as it gets." -- MSNBC's Ed Schultz on his Wednesday night program. Schultz has called for Weiner's resignation. "Please resign. Please do it. ...the fact that your wife is pregnant is awesome." Weiner's ex-girlfriend attacks Maureen Dowd "For the record, a blackjack dealer and porn star are not lesser people than an aide to Hillary Clinton, as Maureen Dowd disgustingly claims." -- The Daily Beast Columnist, Fox News Democratic Political Analyst and Weiner Ex-Girlfriend Kirsten Powers in a Wednesday tweet. This is what Powers found so offensive in Dowd's NYT column this week: "The weenie Weiner married up to Hillary Clinton’s aide, the glamorous and classy Huma Abedin, and only 11 months later got caught e-dating down with a Vegas blackjack dealer, a porn star and a couple of college students."
