http://twitter.com/#!/brithume/status/363777335868141568
Oh my … that is beautiful. Fox News’ Brit Hume retweeted that awesome zinger, which was in response to this also hilarious tweet by Andrew Malcolm.
http://twitter.com/#!/AHMalcolm/status/363766238276632576Twitter users giggled madly.

Rumor: Newt Gingrich to drop out? Speculation abounds
http://twitter.com/#!/BuzzFeedAndrew/status/194883621503516672
The penguin bites Newt story did give some added oomph to his campaign for a while. Okay, not really. But it did cause lots of mad giggles.
Rumor has it that Newt Gingrich will finally drop out of the presidential race. Shocka! But will he? Before a moon colony is started? Who will think of the moon colony? WHO?
Some say the end of his campaign is imminent.
@JonahNRO There goes Newt's big play.

New York: Newt Gingrich is preparing to reassess his campaign, that includes considering suspending his campaign via @CNN.

If Newt makes noises about dropping out soon, does anyone hear it? #caring
— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) April 24, 2012
But, wait. Not so fast!
Newt to Sean Hannity Radio: "Mistake" for Romney to launch his general campaign tonight.

“@wcnc: Newt #Gingrich to @wcnc : Under any circumstance…we'll be at every event we've planned this week.”
— Dianne Gallagher (@DianneG) April 24, 2012
Newt Gingrich announces he won't drop out of the race. Ever. He will crash the Romney-Obama debates and try to hijack the inaugural address.
— Jason Pinter (@jasonpinter) April 24, 2012
This one about sums it up.
I didn't think Newt would quit tonight. But now that his campaign says he won't, I'm not so sure.
— Sam Youngman (@samyoungman) April 24, 2012
Newt may drop out, sooner rather than later. Unless it’s later. And he doesn’t drop out. Fundamentally.

Greg Gutfeld’s first tweet was better than a lot of first tweets
http://twitter.com/#!/PatrickMillsaps/status/446741230336999424
Many Twitter debuts are boring, dry and of the “hey, is this thing on?” variety. But that wasn’t the case for Fox News host Greg Gutfeld. Twitter’s new #FirstTweet tool shows us that his first tweet was … so very Greg Gutfeld.
http://twitter.com/#!/greggutfeld/status/1578649922Proof that the #FirstTweet tool is awesome (or at least worth a few laughs)? We say, “Hells yes.”
Here are the first tweets from the other hosts of “The Five.”

Breaking: Hillary Clinton hospitalized for blood clot following concussion
http://twitter.com/#!/katywithawhy/status/285550096312053760
It is not yet clear how serious this is. We hope she is OK.
Twitchy will monitor this story and will update this post as needed.

We know how the Left behaves when a Republican is hospitalized. Will conservatives now behave in the same manner?

This is the only tasteless tweet from a conservative we’ve seen so far:
OH ,who are they kidding Hillary Clinton is as healthy as an ox. Hey Hillary you can run but you cant hide sooner or later we will get you

Perplexed VP leads to hilarious “things Biden can’t understand” hashtag
http://twitter.com/#!/TheMorningSpew/status/384445396748992512
In a fundraising page, Joe Biden had written which he “can’t understand” the reason why “the Republican Party is letting Ted Cruz lead their particular charge against Obamacare.”
Eventually, Twitter had been unstoppable with other #ThingsBidenCantUnderstand. Listed below are even more items that might leave Joe scraping his mind:

Twitter users publish something like half a billion tweets per day. Even if 99.999 percent of those tweets are unimportant or nonsense, that leaves 5,000 tweets per day that are potentially newsworthy, or at least noteworthy.
Our mission is to find those hidden nuggets and report on them to you, our readers.
We’ve been at it for a year as of today. Has our Twitter-based news-gathering model proven a success?
We believe our record speaks for itself:
- We documented tweets and retweets by dozens of left-wing Hollywood cranks, including Cher, Alec Baldwin, Jim Carrey, Russell Crowe, Chris Rock, Jason Biggs, Samuel Jackson, Ellen Barkin, Eva Longoria, and Eliza Dushku.
- We were among the first to uncover Twitter riot threats and vandalism by Obama supporters in the run-up to Election Day (see also here).
- We broke a story about Twitter death threats made against Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker — a story that led to an investigation by law-enforcement authorities.
- We caught mainstream media outlets lying about the Newtown, Conn., so-called “hecklers” and the health insurance situation of the former Navy SEAL who shot Osama bin Laden.
- We were the first to report details about Aurora, Colo., shooting victim Jessica Ghawi, who was tweeting just before she was shot and was present at a separate mall shooting six weeks earlier.
- Utilizing tweets, photos, and videos posted to Twitter, we were able to cover breaking news — from school shootings in the US to protests in Egypt to an NFL’s player’s homicide-suicide — faster (and in some cases better) than MSM outlets.
MSM dinosaurs consider our methods irresponsible. They insist that “real reporters” must wait around for government officials to confirm facts that are already widely known to anyone using Twitter.
Sorry, MSM, we don’t follow your rules. We have created a news model that allows people to read information that gatekeepers don’t want them to know. Our motto is “who said what.” Their motto is “which official source said what, and we’ll let you know when we’re good and ready.”
Do we make mistakes? Of course. Who doesn’t? And when errors are brought to our attention, we run straightforward corrections. We wish our MSM competitors did the same (see, e.g., here and here).
Twitchy couldn’t be what it is without you: the community of readers, commenters, and tipsters who come to the site every day; the Twitter users who retweet our posts; the Facebook users who “like” and “share” our articles.
Thanks so much to all of you for making our first year a phenomenal success.

Denver Post scrubs ‘socialist’ from profile of Arapahoe shooter
http://twitter.com/#!/rdbrewer4/status/411910392789483520
Several people noted a curious edit to the Denver Post’s profile of Arapahoe High School shooter Karl Pierson Friday. As Bearing Arms reports, the Denver Post originally reported that a classmate in Pierson’s economics class described Pierson as “a very opinionated Socialist.” Curiously, the story was updated to send the word socialist down the memory hole, and Pierson was merely described as “very opinionated.”
http://twitter.com/#!/DCDude1776/status/411892681762418688 http://twitter.com/#!/guypbenson/status/411909717527502849Paging Brian Ross: Are we sure the shooter wasn’t a very opinionated Tea Partyer? It certainly doesn’t sound like it. The Denver Post also reports that Pierson was “outspoken about politics.”
