Well, I enjoyed this… I asked y’all to watch me on WACH and tell me how it went, and I ended up having the following text exchange with Lora Prill of ADCO:
LORA: Did you see wach?
ME: Nope. Still at the office.
LORA: They quoted you in the VoiceOver.
LORA: But they didn’t show you saying it, drinking a cup of coffee. An ADCO cup turned the wrong way?
LORA: I mean they just showed you drinking a cup of coffee.
LORA: Not talking. It was bizarre.
LORA: Although they showed your blog and they called you one of s.c.’s most respected journalists.
ME: Sounds kinda Zen…
Then, I was about to get back to finishing up some stuff so I could go home, when the Blackberry rang, and it was Lora, and she was laughing. “They just showed you again!” she cried. Only this was during the NEXT story, about Ken Ard getting fined. Apparently they showed a clip from the lieutenant governor debate I moderated back during the fall, and there I was standing behind Ard.
So the pattern is established: Whenever news — any kind of news — is reported, I will be in the picture, irrelevantly. Like Forrest Gump.
I’ll bet you’re thinking what I’m thinking: How can I monetize this?

I guess I could complain, and say silly things about WACH the way Nikki did, but I’ll give ’em a pass, on account of that “they called you one of s.c.’s most respected journalists” thing…
