AND YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GULLIBLE
This may be the funniest thing I've come across in a long time.

Funny: Andrew Sullivan reports an April Fools prank as real news.

Funnier: the fake news report includes a quote from Andrew Freakin' Sullivan, thereby showing he didn't bother to read past the first paragraph or two.

Funniest: Sullivan's dumbass mistake is still sitting on his blog, meaning that we know it before he knows it. So let's all hang out in the corner and giggle at him.


UPDATE: STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD, BYRNES!
Sorry. I am an idiot.

For someone who's quick to point a finger at other blogs for not getting the joke, I have had the deeply embarrassing realization that my 'Gotcha!' moment was backwards.

Sullivan's entry was dated -- drumroll, please -- April 1. In rethinking things, it wasn't that he didn't get the joke; he perpetuated the joke! Big difference there. Sorry 'bout that, Sully.

Which means... that the Blade didn't get the joke!

(See? When you screw up, there is always someone else to point the finger at! And that is your lesson for today.)
