I agree with janole. I believe the simple "Reply" concept would be best in this regard. For example, if I had a tweet that I found, regardless of who its from, I can retweet it, but link together the original tweet in the same manner that we do for the replies. Thus, we create a chain of where a retweeted message came from but also allows us to make comments. Heck, with this direction, you can blow away the original tweet in your tweet and insert a full 140-character comment and with the chain, Twitter can go back to the last tweet in the chain that isn't linked and we can assume this is the original message and display the original above the user's tweet in the timeline, in a similar fashion of how message boards and forums work.
