Rush Limbaugh says he's "exploding with reaction" at this phrase, "the president has spoken a lot about bringing the country together," in a question from CNN's Ed Henry at today's daily press briefing at the White House. "Ed, you're a butt boy" follows.

Rush does have some compliments to give- "Jake Tapper is the one guy that's outside of the butt boy bubble in the White House press room," he says.

Internal memo from WaPo funnyman Gene Weingarten:

Gene Weingarten has authorized ALL NEWS distribution of the following statement:

If you are receiving this message, I am resting comfortably at George Washington University Hospital after double knee replacement surgery. If you have not received this message, I died during surgery, and the message you received instead was maudlin and -- as these things tend to be -- filled with embarrassing exaggerations of my accomplishments, as well as outright lies about the strength of my character, my importance to the newspaper, and the inspiration I have been to others.

If that happened, apologize.

By "resting comfortably" I mean "under the influence of narcotics administered in doses large enough to sedate a mature horse." This condition will last through tomorrow morning, at which point I plan to begin a strict regimen of self-pity, accompanied by cantankerousness. This will last four days. Visits during this period are discouraged. This is because my behavior will resemble that of an enraged ape. If I have it at hand, I will fling feces.

Thank you.

Yeah, we've never heard of him either and we're not sure this is how you want to make a name for yourself, but the freshman Congressman from Colorado blamed the blogosphere for the "demise" of traditional journalism- for the better.

Rep. Jared Polis is quoted by the Denver Post, "Who killed the Rocky Mountain News? We're all part of it, for better or worse, and I argue it's mostly for the better... The media is dead and long live the new media."

Commenting on RNC Chairman Michael Steele's apology to Rush Limbaugh, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs had this to say at today's press briefing:

"I was a little surprised by the speed in which Mr. Steele, the head of the RNC, apologized to the head of the Republican Party."

TVNewser also points out- Gibbs knocked CNBC's Jim Cramer for calling President Obama's budget the "greatest wealth destruction by a president" on this morning's Today Show.

"I'm not entirely sure what he's pointing to to make some of the statements... And you can go back and look at any number of statements he's made in the past about the economy and wonder where some of the back-up for those are too," Gibbs responded to a question posed by NBC's Tom Costello on duty at the WH.

MediaJobsDaily reports that Jay Kennedy, VP of labor at WaPo, sent the Post's guild a letter suggesting the creation of a new role - "community journo."

"primary focus of this position will be to report on stories of local and community interest for the Extras and to perform multimedia work; employees in this position may also report for the daily paper."

In addition, the letter says:

"community journalists should not be expected to be promoted to "reporter," and the base salary would start at $653 per week, or $34,000 a year."

The Post Guild responded that the new gig "sounds a lot like the positions we already have...for a lower wage."

Harry Jaffe over at Washingtonian magazine ranks what he calls WaPo's "new brain trust." On a scale of one to ten, he had reporters and editors rank their new leaders.

The ladies, Katharine Weymouth and Liz Spayd, take the cake in this contest, out ranking Marcus Brauchli and Raju Narisetti with scores of 8 and 9, respectively.

Katharine Weymouth: Even as she delivers the news that the Post must shave $85 million in costs, the young publisher gets high marks for being calm, steady, and forthright. Also pretty hip and approachable. Rating: 8

Marcus Brauchli: As executive editor for six months, he has yet to establish a real presence in either the print or the Web-site newsroom. Reporters call him the Ghost. At lunches with reporters, he seems "disengaged" and consumed with his BlackBerry. Rating: 6

Liz Spayd: She has lots of cred in both newsrooms. She's the only top editor who came up through the Post and appreciates the culture. As one of two managing editors, she's been in the downtown-DC newsroom, putting out the newspaper and directing coverage on Washingtonpost.com. Rating: 9

Raju Narisetti: Only a month on the job, he got off to a rough start. He worked with Brauchli at the Wall Street Journal, launched a newspaper in India, and now shares the managing-editor title with Spayd. Posties say it’s Narisetti's job to cut staff at Washingtonpost.com. After an all-hands staff meeting, he stepped into an elevator with eight of his staff members. They expected him to chat; he never looked up from his BlackBerry. Rating: 3

Publishing giants Reed Elsevier, NYT, Thomson Reuters, News Corp's Dow Jones & Co, and Knight Ridder were granted an appeal by the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday. The case involves a nearly $18 million copyright settlement that the publishers reached with freelance journos in 2005.

The epic battle that began in 2001 started when a group of writers sued the publishers and a number of online databases, stating that their contracts did not allow for the online distribution and electronic archival of their work.

Reuter reports that arguments in the case will begin in October.
