Yes, they showed that a LOT on the local news. That
was 2005, when he was the keynote speaker, and was in
the special media panel afterwards--he joked about how
she could have gotten in there with so many needing
serious press creds to attend, but I guess it helps to
have had a cable show and having been a previous panel
speaker. Many online news feeds also played the funny
quip he made to her after the hug--I think he loves
saying stuff like that so the mainstream news people
won't use it because it is mildly obscene--teehee.
That was recently, though--apparently they have made
up their differences, whatever they may have been.
I think it would be hilarious if she and Jimmy met up,
but I don't think Jimmy's missus would care for it....
:D
