Appended below is the Fox New Channel footage from this morning. Later today I’ll have our own video verit&233; version of the extravaganza.<\/p>\n
I think I’ve said before that this sort of thing is akin to being a piece of waxed fruit in a centerpiece: You’re there not because there is some inherent worth to you or to what you have to say, but, rather, because you fit just right in the overall composition.<\/p>\n
I’m not griping. If you want to talk on someone else’s dime, you do it on their terms. But, as will be clear as you watch, I was a totally fungible commodity in this broadcast, the nod who was every bit<\/i> as good as a wink.<\/p>\n
Our tape is more fun, I think, but conversion to iPod format takes time, so you have to wait.<\/p>\n
My takeaways, conferred upon me mere moments after the taping was done: “Smile and stare deeply into the camera.”<\/p>\n
I’ll do better next time.
