I wish reporters and pundits would just quit mining twitter for stupid quotes. It is like shooting fish in a barrel. It means exactly nothing that a couple of hundred, or even thousand, people said something dumb on twitter.

What this judge said is definitely newsworthy. Some random anonymous user on twitter who is probably trolling, stoned or both saying something means bupkis.

Although I did get a laugh out of Colbert's take - "705 people saw a woman in a bikini and thought, 'Muslim Extremist.'"
