I loved checking in on my Twitter stream in the moments and hours after the Eliot Spitzer story broke in the New York Times. The cries of “say it ain’t so” and other similar tweets have given way to some of my favorites in the past few hours:

“Spitzer: No condom? Seriously?” from whogotthegravy.

“Wonkette points out that Spitzer could have bought a 30-inch Viking range for less” from JPaventi.

“What’s the difference between a Republican sex scandal and a Democratic sex scandal? Democrats have sex with women” from billstreeter.

I had the same feeling while watching the Oscars. Watching the comments about the speeches, the clothes, the acts — it was like watching “Best Week Ever,” but the week wasn’t over yet.

There’s got to be a way to expose more people to that kind of running commentary, without expecting people to put a hash mark in their tweets. Searches don’t necessarily do the trick. Billstreeter didn’t include “spitzer” in his tweet.
