Actress Allison Janney, who played White House Press Secretary C.J. Cregg on “The West Wing,” disappeared from Twitter in 2010 after just three tweets. She resurfaced today, but only time will tell if an enthusiastic welcome from real-life Obama spokesman Jay Carney will encourage her or scare her off.

Carney’s not so great at answering questions, but asking this one was a hit.

That’s right, the White House is on a roll today. Earlier today, someone managed to delight Twitter followers with a photo of Bo Obama and a quote from the 2004 Lindsay Lohan film, “Mean Girls.”

Both the president and vice president are on vacation this week. Are there any grown-ups around in D.C.?
