Truthfully, though: barely some minutes after I saw this (Keith Olbermann had it on MSNBC Tuesday night), I looked up from my couch (there happens to be a mirror across from it). I had a brief"WTF?!" moment: I'd forgotten about my own smudge! *LOL*
I also loved how she (Ms Burley) said "I'm a Very Bad Catholic!" at the end: one could half imagine her in plaid school-skirt, bending over for Sister's ruler? [OK, that's probably just me. ;-p]
Well, I'm clearly the odd one out. I didn't work it out either. All our Ash Wednesday services are in the evening and I've never seen anyone walk around with a smudge on their foreheads so the thought just didn't occur to me.
:facepalm:
ReplyDeleteDid they ever figure it out?
wv: verwort
An herb that is very good for treating bruises like the one on Biden's head. :D
:ducks, runs:
OK good she did figure it out.
ReplyDeleteOn my way out the door for work; almost missed the very end.
Good one
I doubt that she figured it out, Tracie, but was told by "research."
ReplyDeleteNeither she nor the male talking head figured it out. KJ has it; they were told. Hmmm...

ReplyDeleteWell, it was just you.
ReplyDeleteHey, we haven't heard from Straight David yet! ;-/
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure it was just JCF.
ReplyDeleteThere's something one never hears applied to oneself -- "I'm a bad Episcopalian/Anglican." We just apply that to others.
I had the same thought, JCF (but then I had already read your comment - well that's my excuse).
ReplyDeleteHow either of them could have thought it was a bruise is beyond me. Looks nothing like one.

ReplyDeleteHave you ever considered a career in the media, Erika?
ReplyDeleteMP, no, I haven't. Although if not getting it is a requirement I might be well suited to it.
