Hilarious! Brit Hume retweeted that zinger from National Review’s Jim Geraghty.
Snooping meets parental guilt! The news that the NSA has been collecting phone records of millions of Americans? It’s totally for your own good. Call your parents, dammit!
The NSA knows how often I call my mother, but can't tell the difference between a demonstration and terrorist attack. @brithume @BretBaier

Hume also pointed out another disturbing truth:

Fox News’ Hume did want to note something else about the snooping scandal, though.
Re: NSA/Verizon. I'd be more worried if fewer records involved. Only a computer can analyze this many. Data mining useful against terrorism.

But this Twitter user makes a great point:
@brithume sure. If the govt then does their job thoroughly and properly. ie Boston marathon bombings. Dropped the ball incompetence

In the meantime, many are choosing to find some humor where they can.
@jimgeraghty @brithume ok…that's funny!

@jimgeraghty @brithume And you thought your teachers were just fooling you when they said something would go on your permanent record.
