‘The F**k I am…I’m Not F**king Kidding’: CBS White House Correspondent Goes on Odd, Profane Twitter Rant

“The f**k I am. That is shirty business what you did. Fix it. I’m not f**king kidding,” CBS News’ Major Garrett wrote in a seemingly out-of-nowhere tweet this morning.

Now we’re sure you’re wondering: What’s going on here? Sadly, no one seems to know:

Garret, of course, deleted the offending tweet, but, you know, this is the Internet and all that:

CBS News Major Garrett Lets Loose in Odd, Profane Tweet

The former Fox News correspondent later tweeted an “explanation” of sorts:

And this is what National Journal White House Correspondent Jim O’Sullivan was tweeting before Garrett tried his hand at impersonating Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s sunny disposition:

Again, we’re not entirely sure what happened this morning. All we know is that whatever it was, it got Garrett plenty mad.

Oh, also, on the same day that Pope Benedict XVI abdicated the chair of St. Peter, a first in nearly 600 years, “#shirty” was trending nationwide on Twitter. Welcome to the Internet.

    Everything I see about twitter in the news is stupid. People should pull their noses out of the ****-crack of their smart phones and get a life…perhaps have an actual voice to voice conversation with complete sentences…with a human….

    This is the reason I dropped from Facebook…social networking brings the stupid out of so many people and “the system” loves when you put your arse out there for so many to see. The data miners love their collections…

    That being said…what the H.E. double hockey sticks am I doing here…

    Since I have no idea what this conversation is about other than the phrase “makeup contraband”, I thought I would see if Robin Williams might shed some light on this?

    # 4 quote of Robin Williams:

    We were talking briefly about cocaine…yeah. Anything that makes you paranoid and impotent, give me more of that!

    # 5 quote of Robin Williams:

    They call it freebasing. It’s not free, it costs you your house! It should be called homebasing!

    Three signs you’re addicted to cocaine: First of all, if you come home to your house and you have no furniture and your cat’s going “I’m outta here, (deleted)!,” Warning!

    Number two: If you have this dream where you’re doing cocaine in your sleep and you can’t fall asleep, and you wake up and you’re doing cocaine, BINGO!

    Number three: if on your tax form it says, “$50,000 for snacks,” MAYDAY!

    Who knows, obviously Twitter is not to be taken seriously as this is an informal means of communication, easily misunderstood?

    Garrett’s pretty mad, but before you did this article you should’ve got the story or reason for the twits.

    I keep searching this web site for an article about Jim Greer. The Chair of the Republican Party in Florida that plead guilty to theft and money laundering to avoid a trial that would drag the entire Republican Party of Florida through the mud, exposing the corruption that we all knew was alive and well in Florida. Thankfully, despite the best efforts, they could not steal another election. Anyone know why this site won’t cover that story, or have I just missed it?

    Who in the name of Sam Hill still uses Cover Girl??? I guess Major Garrett has infinite reason to resort to the “F” bomb when he’s accused of leaving his foundation in the WH bathroom, and the foundation is something that only 13 year old girls use! What a hoot!!

      Damascous could be the location of an event that was the subject of a cover up, that did not cover up, hence the term “hitting the fan”? As in Damascous?

      You really should not use Twitter for sensitive conservations?

      Oh yes. Do stop that “naughty language” and NEVER tell us how you really feel. Keep it inside until you have a stroke or heart attack or cancer.Make sure that everyone gets fired for saying “F” or “Shirt” or Something with a combination of “F” or “S” and some asterisks because we all must be CIVIL you know? Let’s all just be CIVIL you know as we MASK incivility with “kill list” and “collateral damage” and “pro choice” and other euphemism for death and destruction in this fake and phony society. Never let anyone see or know your true feelings about this death and destruction. Now. Let’s all fake it shall we? One. Two. Three. Smile. Big Smile. Lights! Camera! Action!

      Oh yes. Add “respectful dialogue” to the “civility” demand that we all just smile, and smile and smile, and smile while the ship goes down in flames. But, do smile won’t you? And be civil won’t you? Do be respectful of people who believe in taxpayer theft, killing babies and sex with men’s bottoms? Yes , do RESPECT these people and their views and do be CIVIL toward them won’t you? smile! Smile some more! OH, doooo smile won’t you?
