THIS IS NO TIME FOR PIN THE TAIL

There's another hoax floating around the Internet. It's time to set the record straight. My producer was not photographed hiding behind a ficus at the right wing noise machine's "61st Minute" event last month. The photo is a fake. Either it's a fake or he was just taking a stroll when his shoelace became untied and he needed to crouch down to tie it only to find--yipes!--4,000 wingnuts on the other side of the furze.

Also, there is no truth to the rumor that he was taking a load off because his high heels pinched his foot. My producer does not wear high heeled shoes. Not in public anyway and certainly not with that outfit.

The world would be a better place if we stopped taking digital pictures of each other.
