What did we do before there was the Drudge Report..? If it wasn't for Matt Drudge, I would never be linked to great stories like the following..!! :D

Drudge even has a link to the doctored video if you want to see it (the doctored remarks come at the very end).

Huffpo Red in the Face Over Fox News Hoax
This is, without a doubt, the best correction of the week. Okay, the month. Aw, hell, I'll say it: Best. Correction. Ever. From the Huffington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/19/john-gibson-compares-eric_n_168377.html):
http://www.portfolio.com/images/feeds/blogs/huffpo%20gibson%20scrotum.jpg
Huffpo had posted what appeared to be a video of Fox News's John Gibson jokingly referring to Attorney General Eric Holder as a monkey with a "bright blue scrotum." That last bit is a reference to an unrelated news story (http://seattlest.com/2009/02/19/woodland_park_zoo_somebody_stop_tha.php) about a Debrazza monkey that escaped from a zoo in Seattle.
Obviously, likening the first black attorney general to a monkey would be a provocative move at anytime, but it would be particularly inflammatory this week after the New York Post -- like Fox News, a unit of News Corp. -- incited outrage (http://www.portfolio.com/views/blogs/mixed-media/2009/02/18/ny-post-in-obama-chimp-stimulus-racism-flap) with a cartoon of a chimpanzee that some read as a racist slap at Barack Obama.
It didn't happen, though. Huffpo now says the video of Gibson was doctored. By whom is unknown. The phony video has been removed from YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/index?ytsession=M4IPXID0GdRSukXWxzVihNJV__Fews6q-OI2_rlV2b2rojagchk2ONWSphriw7VMANXg11e8p8YuJu69hCZ XgVf1rLpsfJ6kcUWAeepI0sOQWckzk1VX1yZYspcv97-0sfITGmOL5psOXtaHeKJavsYDkVsTFF8BsSnuKtJbjOWQgkfN2 9dsXaMOkutfWEnIzh_Q98LottrncYef_tIIY7sIirx-hxsn7d441cqOTADMjj1iK-CoydRgZyBYZKz2Rez7fbVdNyM).
