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:

SOMEONE meant for that to be a DM.

@majorcbs you have been hacked...or you are about to be fired.

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

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

Monday before SOTU is always slow. Pity. I was speaking to @josreports. He knows why. I hear S#%* is REALLY hitting the fan in Damascus.

— Major Garrett(@MajorCBS) February 11, 2013

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:

Confirmed: makeup contraband in WH men's room does NOT belong to @majorcbs. Will investigate further

— Jim O'Sullivan (@JOSreports) February 11, 2013

Someone, @majorcbs, left a thing of Cover Girl on the WH press men's room sink

— Jim O'Sullivan (@JOSreports) February 11, 2013

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.
