Tim O'Reilly, founder of O'Reilly Media (for which I'm co-writing a research report on Twitter), does this frequently and to great effect. Simply start your message with "Retweeting@username" and then paste in the original message (the @ symbol is the Twitter convention for responding or referring to other users).
