Quotes of the Day Quintessential fluffy cloud White House photograph by FNC's Ed Henry who was spotted milling about the Meridien Ball Friday night with his wife, Shirley Hung Henry. "Funereal." -- Word used over the weekend to describe the mood inside Politico's newsroom on Friday, the day after Kendra Marr was forced to resign for seven instances of plagiarism. A Suggestion for FishbowlDC "No need to be uncordial. Perhaps your bowl needs it's water changed - oxygen helps one think more critically." -- A reader named @MouthWiredShut, whom we scolded after he wrote something unnecessarily crass about Politico's Marr. This was his response to the scolding, which involved telling him that he may want to revisit wiring his mouth shut. Reporter encounters cranky cabbie "Cab driver looked at me incredulously when I asked him to take me to #dedicatemlk. 'I came out here so I could avoid traffic from that.'" -- Roll Call's Jessica Estepa. The irony "Left the White House at 12:32, drove past the Washington Monument area of the Mall, where crowds are milling about for the Al Sharpton-endorsed March on Washington for Jobs and Justice, which is meant to show support for the president's jobs bill, and the offshoot DC voting rights march. It's a gorgeous fall day, temperature around 65 with light winds. Not unexpectedly, the president has decided to spend it playing golf at Joint Base Andrews." -- Politico White House Reporter Jennifer Epstein in a weekend Pool Report. Ezzy is headed to Hong Kong "Headed to Hanoi, Hong Kong, and Singapore in a week. Anyone have restaurant/restaurant guide suggestions?" -- WaPo's liberal blogger and lead Boybander Ezra Klein. We will miss you Ez. Please, if you could dispatch restaurant reviews we'd love it. Hope you're at least doing MSNBC hits from the Far East. Convo Between Two Journos Today's conversation is between MSNBC "Morning Joe" Host Mika Brzezinksi and Politico's Patrick Gavin. Gavin once interviewed Mika for a Game Changer video in which they ran up the Exorcist steps in Georgetown. Mika: "Cmon patrick!!! lets do some steps.... you can bring your cat." Gavin: "@morningmika I don't wanna brag, but I've made some serious fitness gains. You. Me. Stadium runs. Name it." Mika: "Oh please meeeow Patrick MEEEOW." With that, she linked to this. What does Levi think? "I was a big Obama supporter and kinda, like, believed everything he said he was gonna do, they were all lies ! he's just another puppet." -- Bristol Palin's ex Levi Johnston. Journo spots a star "Jon Bon Jovi is on my Acela. He is butterscotch-colored, including his hair. Nobody has asked him for an autograph." -- Slate's (soon to be NYT) Annie Lowrey. Scribe regrets idea "Trying to get to the DMV today in Georgetown is perhaps the worst idea I've ever had. #EmoSOSTweets." -- Roll Call's Meredith Shiner. Spotted: Cain's expanding entourage "Herman Cain had an entourage of 6 or 7 guys today, as he entered NBC for Meet the Press this morning... staffing up?" -- The Daily Caller's Alex Pappas. Tragedy Strikes: Boybander sleeps through Hazy's show "Awww, crap. Slept thru Up with Chris Hayes!" -- TPM's Brian Beutler. Thankfully second-tier Boybander Spencer Ackerman came through and BIG. "If you missed Up W @chrislhayes just now, you missed the most sophisticated discussion of MLK, Obama & institutional politics ever televised," wrote the Wired reporter. Unnecessary Tweet(s) of the Day Ladies and gentleman, it's a FishbowlDC first. We have a tie. "Baking pie. Oh so much pie." -- Roll Call's Estepa. "So I bought myself flowers to match my office." -- Metro Weekly Co-Publisher Sean Bugg. .
