“Pulled off the trail,” writes TIME’s Ana Marie Cox. “Twittering light until am confident I have something interesting to say. It will be light then, too.”

Could this action be in to response to her recent criticisms on her personal twitter blog of Tim Russert and Chris Matthews, stars of the NBC/MSNBC television networks to which she sometimes contributes? And did TIME really pull her off the campaign trail right before Super Tuesday!?

Remember when the young Hardball political pundit Ezra Klein made lewd comments about Tim Russert’s sex life just a few short days ago? And then promptly (and embarrassingly) shut down his Twitter Web page that featured those sharp words? Well, tonight TIME’s Ana Marie Cox, a frequent contributor to NBC shows featuring Joe Scarborough, posted this statement on her Twitter page regarding Russert:

Knowing Cox, she won’t be deleting anything, but one does have to wonder: if these people hate NBC so much, why do they attempt to desperately sell themselves on the company’s stations all too often?

“David (Bradley) [owner of The Atlantic magazine] regularly offered me tea and scones every year or so for the better part of the last seven years, to find out what I was up to, and always suggested ways to go work for him,” Andrew Sullivan told Howie Kurtz today.

And it worked. Sullivan left for The Atlantic after a brief period blogging for TIME.

Shoot, where might he go for a donut and soda? Big Head DC???
