O'Donnell was responding to a New York Post story this morning that characterized her as distraught over losing her afternoon spot on MSNBC to David Shuster, who was bumped at the 6 p.m. spot by Ed Schultz.
O'Donnell responded this afternoon to TVNewser: "I am disappointed that Richard Johnson didn't call me directly. His report is incorrect. I have three children under two years old. I usually spend my free time changing poopy diapers - and that report belongs in the diaper champ with those diapers. I look forward to my new hour in the mornings!"
The headline reflects the question Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.) must be asking himself right now.
According to the congressman's Twitter page, Rehberg's plane back to Montana had to turn around and land in Minnesota instead of its destined Billings, Mont.

Members of Congress and celebrities use Twitter as a means for communicating more directly with their constituents or fans, one of Twitter's cofounders said Thursday night.
"I think the congressmen and the celebrities are a similar case," Twitter cofounder Biz Stone said during an appearance Thursday night on "The Colbert Report."

Google is in the process of negotiating to buy Twitter according to reports Friday, news that already elicited a negative reaction from one leading conservative blogger.
According to TechCrunch, Google is in "late stage negotiations" to acquire Twitter for somewhere between $250 million and $1 billion.
The proposal drew somewhat of a rebuke from RedState founder Erick Erickson, who tweeted:
Google to buy Twitter. #TCOT posts soon to disappear into the ether.
Erickson's "#TCOT" remark refers to the tag for "Top Conservatives on Twitter" applied by a number of right-wing pundits and lawmakers to their tweets. Those tags are then followed by two websites (TopConservativesonTwitter.org and TCOT Report), which rank and catalog those tweets.
According to Top Conservatives on Twitter, Erickson currently ranks 289th on their list.
