Quake tweets

I know it might be a bit too soon to joke about the earthquake on the east coast, but it is hitting the news. Some of that stuff is pretty funny.

Washington Examiner

From the article:

After Washington DC realized that the earthquake was nothing to worry about, they took to Twitter to joke about the source of the quake. Some of the best ones below:

@TPCarney: Krugman says it wasn't big enough.

@comradescott: Evidently the quake occurred on a little known fault line outside of DC called "Bush's Fault". #tcot #p2

@calebhowe: Breaking: Obama administration points out they "inherited" fault lines from previous administrations.

@MaizeBlueNation: Fox News claims the Washington monument is leaning to the right, MSNBC claims it's leaning to the left. More news at 11.

. . .

@Ben_Howe: As all of DC leaves work at the same time, the United States experiences a brief economic recovery.

One of the people commenting to the article suggested that the earthquake was the Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves.
