Conservatives really are givers.
After White House press secretary Jay Carney asked tweeps to submit their questions for a Twitter chat using the #1q hashtag, the response was real, and it was spectacular.
.@PressSec #1q: You guys really haven't learned yet, have you? Twitter isn't your domain anymore.

No, they haven’t learned. Heh.
Hi @PressSec (Or Baghdad Jay), if I develop asthma, what kind of breathalyzer would the President recommend I get for it? #1q

Does the White House have plans to hire a translator who can speak Austrian? #1Q

Carney has plenty of Fast and Furious questions to choose from, but we’re guessing these won’t be addressed.
@PressSec Both AG Holder and Sec Napolitano clearly perjured themselves in #FastandFurious testimony. Why are they still employed? #1Q

@PressSec If you know about the facts behind #FastandFurious and don't disclose them, does that make you an accessory after the fact? #1Q

.@PressSec How can Obama have promised to have the "most transparent administration ever" but won't turn over #FastAndFurious docs? #1Q

#1Q Shouldn't running automatic weapons to armed insurgents in Mexico be considered an Act of War? #FastAndFurious

Will the questions he answers after the press briefing be cherry-picked from tweets sent hours in advance? Stay tuned. We’ll update with the answer.
UPDATE:
Surprisingly, most of the questions Carney answered were tweeted close to the time of the Twitter chat. Unsurprisingly, we’re still dizzy from the spin and evasions.
SooperMexican has more on the people whose questions were answered, including a blogger who visited the White House last year.
