It’s probably a very embarrassed Billy Ray Cyrus, just avoiding the press.

George Zimmerman asked me what he needed to do in order to have reporters leave him alone.

Apparently I was wrong.

Well then, why not just ask him who he is?

Old Soviet anecdote:
1960’s near small Russian village.
Old woman walking in the woods near small village. Suddenly men(partisan) with sub machine gun and hand grenades around his neck appears in front of her. “Hey, grandma, is any German troops in the village?”. She responds “ Honey, are you crazy? WWII ended 20 years ago!” He responds “ No sh%t! And I’m still derailing the trains!!”.:-)
