The Making of a Pundit

Is your refrigerator running? Newsblues.com, a TV-news gossip site, recently reported that a Fox affiliate in Hartford, Connecticut, responded on the air to an e-mail supposedly written by "Haywood Jablome," which all you middle-schoolers out there know to pronounce "Hey, wouldja blow me?" It was the esteemed Mr. Jablome's second recent media appearance: A couple weeks before, the New York Post quoted "Heywood Jablome, 41, a Manhattan real estate agent," in a piece about investment brokerages that double as espresso bars. In reporting the Post gaffe, the New York Press noted that an apparent relative of this twosome, "Haywood Jablomi," was quoted three years back by Grand Junction's Daily Sentinel. At the time, the Sentinel scribe reported, Haywood was "chuckling with his two friends."

Who, no doubt, were named Ima Hottie and R.U. Horny.
