Tick-tick-tick-tick...

So I guess Andy Warhol was right when he said everyone would have their fifteen minutes of fame. Well for me, it certainly wasn't 15 minutes (more like 10 seconds) and I wouldn't even call it fame. But it was quite a Friday afternoon...

It was around 3pm and I was sitting at my desk when we heard at knock at the door to the bullpen. Though this was highly unusual I didn't turn around until I heard a booming voice from the doorway. He introduced himself as James Rosen from Fox News Channel He said he was doing a report down the hall and needed a young aide to help him out.The office was still razzing me about being on Leno the night before, so they volunteered me to go and help him out. I had no idea what I was about to do or how long it would take. Once I stood up, he looked at me and said "Ok then, lose the sweatervest." (So much for casual Friday...) "You got a tie?" he asked. I said I didn't but one of the coworkers pulled one out of his desk drawer. It was a beaut--like the kind Michael Scott wears on The Office--with the octagonal shapes and all.

I was quickly ushered by James out into the hall. He was doing an story on how the Congress is only working 2.5 days a week, when they said they were going to work 5 days a week. So Rosen took me to the empty caucus room where he planned to file his report for that night's Special Report with Bret Baier. He wanted to end the segment by pretending to preside over a fake congressional hearing.

And well you can see for yourself...(I'm at the end)
