Quotes of the Day Yahoo! News's Olivier Knox: "Hasty iPhone shot of POTUS getting his 'VIP Guest' button today." President Obama drank beer at The Dubliner on Saturday for St. Patrick's Day. The Atlantic Magazine Editor's odd relationship to the semicolon "Starting to get concerned about my compulsive use of the semicolon; it's pathological." -- Atlantic Mag Editor Scott Stossel. He added, "This may call for a semi-colonoscopy." Doocy or Douchey? "President Obama did NOT pay cover charge at The Dubliner when he popped in for St Pats Day brew, according to pool producer. POTUS just left." -- FNC Correspondent Peter Doocy, son of Fox & Friends Steve Doocy. The bar allowed the President of the Free World free entrance to The Dubliner on Saturday on St. Patrick's Day. Ali's new 'Daily Shot' "The dirty little kitchen is I can do it from my kitchen table and I'm a lazy girl." -- Comedian and author Ali Wentworth on CNN's Reliable Sources on Sunday regarding her new morning spot on Yahoo. In other St. Patty's Day news... "Yeah, fat boy, my great grandparents came here so you could puke on the street in broad daylight. Clean that up." -- CNN's Lizzie O'Leary. From the Road "Airports should have gyms so I can get in a work out during these long layovers." -- Politico's Juana Summers. En route to Montreal with Steve Buttry On Saturday JRC's Community Engagement Director Steve Buttry was on his way to Montreal. But not without a bit of turbulence. Watch as he initially blames United and eventually eats his words. 1. Of course our flight to Montreal is oversold. #unitedsucks. 2. We were boarding the plane when pilot (or someone in uniform) came out telling us to go back to terminal. 3. Bad weather in Montreal. 4. I maintain that my travel experience is actually common. Just travel a lot and tweet about something that universally sucks. 5. They keep pushing our departure time back: 9, 10, 10:30, now 11. Can't blame United; Canadian weather page shows fog in Montreal. 6. Finally boarding. Hoping they'll actually let us on the plane now. Except that the line isn't moving. 7. Finally boarded our flight to Montreal. Bon voyage! Discombobulated journo "Rode bike across town in rain to renew drivers license. when I saw long line I thought should of renewed on-line. then remembered I DID." -- ABC7 TV reporter Stephen Tschida. In reaction... "Love when @stevebuttry travels & tweets: All of the pain and frustration of dealing w/airlines without ever having to leave my house" -- Lisa Fung, Executive Editor of The Wrap. Surprise ruined for USA Today Bureau Chief "Sked'ed delivery of new TV on my husband's bday today as a surprise. @BestBuy late yesterday said, oops, sorry, no TV 4 sale. #BestBuyBummer" -- USA Today Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page, whose husband is Carl Leubsdorf. Spin the Boybander? MSNBC's weekend show "Up With Chris Hayes" is quickly becoming a Boybander Slumber Party. We can't believe we weren't invited. With Hayes off this past Saturday, WaPo's liberal blogger, Democratic strategist and FBDC Fan Club Prez Ezra Klein jumped in. His guest was none other than lower-tiered Boybander Spencer Ackerman of Wired. Ackerman remarked, as any close friend who wants to get invited on again would, "I think this @ezraklein kid is going places. Just killing it guest hosting #uppers." A journo's story idea up for grabs "Someone needs to do an in-depth story on @ChuckGrassley's Twitter war against @HistoryChannel." -- Jordan Fabian, political editor for Univision News.
