Yup, that's kind of how I felt about it - on the one hand, I thought it was somewhat humorous, but not in a very well done way, on another hand, I was kind of shocked it was a 'serious' journalist trying to pull it off. It'd be like Dan Rather doing a comedic version of the election results.

Oh wait. He did that. Oops.

ANYwho, an oddity, but nothing new content-wise, certainly.
