And the Trial Balloons Fly Like Angels

Jonathan Alter says that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) is conducting focus groups in preparation for a possible Republican presidential bid in 2012.
NBC:
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s (R) office shot down news — reported by Newsweek’s Jonathan Alter — that the governor is conducting focus groups in preparation of a possible White House bid.
“It’s absolutely not true,” Christie spokeswoman Maria Comella told First Read.
What does seem to be true is that Rick Perry hasn’t cleared the field. Yet.
I have gone twitter. Now what?
@Benedick HRH KFC: What’s yer handle?
@Benedick HRH KFC: Pick some people to follow. When you find someone, look and see who they are following, for ideas.
@Benedick HRH KFC: Search Tweetland for keywords like “DFH,” “Librul,” etc. They are usually fellow-travelers. Follow Andy Borowitz. The twitbots will then match you up with other pinko commies as suggestions. And by all means, follow Roger Ebert. Follow me at the handle you see above.
@Benedick HRH KFC: Get a life?

@Benedick HRH KFC: Ah, such an angel.
@Benedick HRH KFC: I love how about a quarter of the queens are pointing out the bad Photoshopping and there’s another quarter bitching about the decor behind him.
