Good to be told that the story is bogus. Of course there is the old saying, "Never believe anything until it has been officially denied."

I don't know if the name of the US ambassador (Anthony Wayne) is also bogus. There was a Mad Anthony Wayne who was a Revolutionary War hero and the victor in the battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794--the person that Fort Wayne, Indiana, is named for.

Ambassador Wayne is the new ambassador to Argentina, and this story is officially bogus.
