29 January 2008


On the heels of my last post, I have yet another story involving a strange (but well meaning?) viewer--and a pretty blonde correspondent.

This reporter just emailed me to tell me that while she was sitting in one of our satellite trucks in Tampa, Florida (she's covering the primary today), a man got into the truck via the passenger door and thrust 3 (as she puts it) "rat-like" animals in her face. He says they were an animal called a "sugar glider." The man said he just saw her on televison and wanted to bring these animals to her to see if she wanted to pet them.

Fabulous.
