John,
Missed your post at first, which is why I asked. I couldn't find the story on any of the wire services and I'm pretty sure they all would have picked up on it if it was true.

Snopes is a great website. If it doesn't come from CNN, the AP, or Reuters, and I don't believe it, I always check there. |
