Major Garrett Is America's Most Heroic Twitterer

I hope everyone is following Major Garrett on Twitter today, because he's in Prague, just getting himself straight up tipsy, tweeting like an American hero!

NICE. Just getting your drank on, peeping the baseball game, like anyone in Prague!

I'm feeling you. FULL DISCLOSURE: I'm drinking a Pabst even as I type this. I'm pretty sure the mojito is Vaclav Havel's favorite drink, too.

Absinth? Man, Major Garrett, you get buck wild!

And then, BOOM: Drops the Friday newsdump knowledge without skipping a beat. What can I say? BALLER. (It's "JOHNSEN," but no worries! I don't think the Obama administration remembers her name, either!)

Major Garrett is an excellent journalist. A minority is todays's loudmouth atmosphere.

I can't wait for the tweets commenting on this report of Major Garrett's tweets.

Cut the guy some slack. He's an adult, and is entitled to drink if he wants.

I think those of them with any bit of dignity left have to drink to ease their minds. They know they are dumbing down the masses and must feel guilty.

Linkins,

There are plenty of legitimate reasons and issues to bring up with Fox News but trying to paint Garret as some kind of a degenerate alcoholic because of his twitter is immature and stupid. Garrett is probably one of the only people at Fox who is balanced in their reporting other than Shephard Smith. Your bringing this up only makes you look petty. Relax. You're re-enforcing the stereotype that big, gay liberals are petty and bitchy. Show your critics that big, gay liberals are above minutia.

You must have missed the story garrett was peddling about Paul begala joining Obama's campaign team, and when told directly by begala that it wasn't true said, " I'll take it under advisement", and still ran with it. Once you work for fox, you have no-where to go but down

I'd have to be a drunk to live with myself if I told lies for Fox News everyday.

Faux News, nothing a little mojito, red wine, beer, and absinthe can't fix.

Just like Patrick Kennedy huh?

Do you feel better now? You got a chance to dredge up some dirt that had nothing to do with the subject- michelle malkin and laura ingraham would be so proud of you. Be sure to share this with all of your buds at whatever tent show church you attend

I think it's cute. Like a teenager's Myspace page with birthday party pictures.

I just had to shake my head, because I was thinking the same thing. ;)

who cares?

there is currently a man on the city council of washington d.c. that has been videotaped smoking crack cocaine. the last three presidents have all admitted abusing drugs.

frankly, if he's in prague, and all he has done is drink, he's practically a puritan.

Just because you have done drugs, doesn't mean you have abused them- you did go to college, didn't you? or were you one of those geeks that stayed "pure" so you could join the pep squad?

Meh.....now Mrs. Garrett in Prague getting her drink on....that would be worth following!

If you're going to drink non-stop, Prague's a good city to be in. Not sure absinthe, beer, wine, and rum is the best combination.

I would think that working for Faux requires copious amounts of alcohol to dull the pain.

How does one go to Prague and NOT get their drink on? I have carried Mormons home in that town!

Even drunk, he is twice better reporter than any of the "reporters" of any other news outlet that nobody watches.

Ret,

In your dreams. He is rude and doesn't even bother to stand when the President enters the room.

Typical Republican that shows this President no respect.

Ret, perhaps no one ever took the time
to explain things to you.

All you do is watch Fox, eat and sleep Fox.
Fox is all you're fed, so you think it 's best.

Even Adolph's dogs thought he was super
'cause his was the hand that fed and petted.

You are being fed and petted.

And the channels you watch are different how?
