The Perils of Proximity Tweeting

I'm sure there are quite a number of people who have been tempted to physically harm an annoying journalist. This comedian apparently doesn't take twitter criticism well. I sincerely doubt that these two were following each other on twitter and I can only assume that the comedian was looking for posts about himself, and then somehow found out who was responsible for the offending tweets (does this say anything about closeness? betweenness?) *Disclaimer: Josh Rogin is a friend of a friend whom I have socialized with. I withhold comment on whether or not he had it coming.
