[the Real fifi]

I love West and despise Olbermann but the Postelnik kidnapping story was rather ludicrous—even Allen said he was joking and I’m afraid that story was not helpful.

[Yomin Postelnik]

It was reported by the Palm Beach Post way before I touched it. It was also reported by Rush&Molloy, who spoke only to his campaign. If I hadn't written about it TNR would have simply ridiculed the allegation and attacked the campaign directly. But the real story is that the Mayor of Birmingham had a similar request and treated it the same way. The real story is also that the FBI was alerted by a campaign and is taking the issue extremely seriously. You're commenting on a subject you know nothing about and in an extremely distasteful manner.
