UPDATE: The crazy tweets are continuing. See end of post for screenshots before Eichenwald deletes again.
As Twitchy readers know, Tucker Carlson mopped the floor with alleged journo Kurt Eichenwald of Newsweek. And Eichenwald was, well, judge for yourself …

I am seven (7!) minutes into @kurteichenwald’s filibuster of a VERY simple question and I’m worried about him. https://t.co/4vrK2Dqttr

Kurt Eichenwald's secret message from the CIA (in super-secret code):
DLANOD PMURT SI A RENNACS

Yikes. What happened next? Eichenwald went into full-on meltdown mode. Cuckoo pants, straight up.
Bored on this cold Thurs.? Head over to @kurteichenwald Twitter. He's in a full meltdown after getting destroyed by #TuckerCarlsonTonight pic.twitter.com/hCGGQYlW1u

What kind of meltdown? Oh, just this:
So far, @kurteichenwald has posted 46 tweets about his encounter with @TuckerCarlson, revealing some very unorthodox reporting methods.

Forty. Six. Keith Olbermann totally loved it, natch.
In light of new @kurteichenwald reports that Trump had drug issues Electoral College cannot make him POTUS. Cannot. pic.twitter.com/lBCaVnXy3o
— Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) December 16, 2016
Whatever, Keith Olbermann. Speaking of substance abuse, I’m pretty worried about you. Are you a meths drinker? Hitting it old school? Eichenwald is bravely running away.
he deleted them all! https://t.co/gJcOOrJwzw
— James Taranto (@jamestaranto) December 16, 2016
Hmm. Wonder why?
https://twitter.com/LilMissRightie/status/809589701845848064
Did you screen shot that tweet, it appears to have now been deleted. @LilMissRightie
— Turkey & Dressing Chris ? (@cdw) December 16, 2016
Oh yes. Twitter and Twitchy are forever and we have Eichenwald’s conspiracy-theory and nasty accusation of drug use by Donald Trump.
lol did I screenshot.. pic.twitter.com/V2V2jJnvNZ
— Nick Short ?? (@PoliticalShort) December 16, 2016
Wow. Are you seriously going there? Where is your proof? I hope you have someone on retainer, because that is damn defamatory.

Some of his meltdown tweets remain. For now. Take a look:
Carlson accuses Dem Senator of hiring prostitutes. "Source" admits she was paid to lie. FBI concludes story false. Tucker never corrects.
— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) December 16, 2016
Like I said all ppl who call what they dont want to hear "fake news" will be blocked. I will assume u didnt see…
— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) December 16, 2016
…that and let you stay. To answer: I cannot provide an answer to a question when I am not allowed to answer….
— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) December 16, 2016
….if u follow the lengthy answer i tweeted, u will see it is not as simple as tucker wanted to pretend it was.
— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) December 16, 2016
Oh my. But the nuttiest ones (of the FORTY. SIX) have been deleted. Is this why?
@kurteichenwald Did a lawyer tell you to delete your tweets?
— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) December 16, 2016
Heh. The mockery was delicious.
For the bored & disaffected please head over to @kurteichenwald's TL. You have to witness this meltdown in real time to fully appreciate it.

Of course, that’s not new for Eichenwald.
https://twitter.com/KFILE/status/809554327778066432
Also old and not new? Apparently Eichenwald’s Twitter bio photo:
I don't want to be That Guy, but does anyone else notice @kurteichenwald's photo does not in any way resemble @kurteichenwald? https://t.co/mAM5qTRP2m
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) December 16, 2016
Zing!
man is in serious need of a psychiatrist. @Newsweek shud be embarrassed. Then again…
— Jay Weinberg (@jaywnj) December 16, 2016
Thanks, Kurt! You are sure helping the Media Regaining Trust cause.
https://twitter.com/BrowningMachine/status/809593401821851649
I don't know about you but the media's attempt at rebranding themselves as the sober, reliable, sane voices is going GREAT so far!!!!
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) December 16, 2016
Awesome. But seriously: Someone really does need to go do a wellness check on him.
The Left/Media has lost their shit. Gone.
— Melissa Mackenzie ? (@MelissaTweets) December 16, 2016
They sure have. And we are supposed to trust them as arbiters of what is “fake news” and what isn’t? HA! They can’t even focus on simply remaining in reality.
Question for @facebook, you'll be flagging @kurteichenwald as fake news, right? https://t.co/i3iFA9MtXD
— Drew McCoy (@_Drew_McCoy_) December 16, 2016
UPDATE: Eichenwald is once again melting down.
Dear God it's still going on. Get these people away from social media. Use a tranquilizer dart. Whatever it takes. pic.twitter.com/vl8hApZViM

Kurt Eichenwald has now reached "imaginary people are threatening my family" stage again. pic.twitter.com/dcxWRt2Hgm

Where is that pesky binder?
https://twitter.com/seanmdav/status/809570306067152896
Maybe he’ll find the written-down “note” in there tomorrow!
UPDATE:
This is his wife, you caused a seizure. I have your information and have called the police to report the assault.
— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) December 16, 2016
Whoa.
https://twitter.com/Dhollizzle/status/809618667432312833
Again, ICYMI, Kurt Eichenwald is now claiming to be tweeting as his wife, as a .gif has given him a seizure.
— Alan Smithee (@ActualFlatticus) December 16, 2016
Stay tuned. Why is his wife tweeting if that is true. My Lord. In any case, this:

UPDATE: Continued today, post-seizure:
For self-protection, I am taking a short twitter break. I will be spending that time with my lawyers & law enforcement going after 1 of u…
— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) December 16, 2016
Here are screenshots of the rest, as he will probably delete them too:
Will it ever end? Stay tuned. In the meantime, here’s more:
