No, this can not be, I watched petey jennings tonight and comrade jennings didn't mention it, so it could not have happened. Becasue we all know that petey jennings and abc, that's that network owned by a skinny little rat with people traps on both coast, would never put his political left wing leanings over reporting the news.

So, it just couldn't have happened, nice if it did, but it couldn't have.
