Ouch, indeed! Brit Hume is becoming the master at taking on Twitter trolls with subtle snark. He did it again Sunday. Hume posted this tweet:
If I were playing golf with the President, I think I'd tuck my shirt in, especially since he does. Just saying. http://t.co/41e3zKY3o0

Heh. President Obama, man of the people, went golfing with “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Seinfeld” co-creator Larry David. Evidently, David couldn’t be bothered tucking his shirt in and Hume gave him the business.
@brithume I think you just wrote the script to a whole episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Snort!
A Twitter troll was not pleased:

Sigh. Bad move, buddy.
You mean like retweets about soccer shorts? “@stevemarusich: @brithume who cares? Lets focus on important matters. Just sayin.”
— Brit Hume (@brithume) August 19, 2013
Snicker. This is the retweet to which Hume is referring:

He came back for more:

Oh sweetie. Bless your heart.
Or on Twitter apparently“@stevemarusich: @brithume because I don't claim to be a voice that people should listen to on national television.”
— Brit Hume (@brithume) August 19, 2013
Oh snap!
@brithume @stevemarusich boom.

@brithume Give it up Steve. You aren't going to outwit a master. @stevemarusich

The. Master.
Never change, Mr. Hume!
