Quotes of the week: O'Reilly vs. Trump, Anthony Weiner and more (VIDEO)
Getting into the holiday spirit, we found time to play an April Fool's joke on our unfortunate interns who thought they were getting the week off. Instead they worked a week straight in the usual darkened, locked room looking through endless hours of footage just for you.
This week, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly gave Donald Trump his two cents when it came to "birther" claims about President Obama from the billionaire, reality TV personality and potential 2012 GOP candidate.
And, who says politicians aren't funny? Well... intentionally funny? New York Rep. Anthony Weiner took on his fellow members of Congress and even poked fun at himself at Washington's annual congressional correspondents' dinner.
Watch this week's high and low lights above and enjoy the weekend from all of us as Washington Unplugged.

- It is great that FOX News has the corner on the worst of the worst in terms of opinionated and nutty commentators. When Beck was on CNN years ago I had to avoid that network for fear that I might see that insane excuse for a human being there. Now I can just avoid one station and not have to worry about the loons straying off the reservation. When you think about it FOX is really performing a service by keeping all of the nuts in one place. That way only the other like minded crazies can waste their time listening to the hate filled fear mongering that is the trademark of that network. The people with some sense and emotional and mental balance know which station to avoid, FOX News. It is very helpful. And then on the other side when someone like Trump takes up residence on FOX we know what we have always suspected; he like Palin, Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, etc. is a joke and not a serious person. Thanks FOX.

- Where are the silly stupid and insane quotes from BIDEN the most clown VP we have ever had? CBS is not biased at all right? How about all the Lies Obama has told or his total hypocrisy over Libya? Ah yes it is OK because CBS protects OBAMA.
