On the off chance that you missed it last night—and unless you were on it, you missed it—"Red Eye" "ombudsman" Andrew Levy delivered this stinging retort to our recent mention of the Fox News gabfest's generous guest policy. (Slots on the show are an automatic prize in the Post's Scratch N' Win game; the courts are still sorting out the murky issue of whether or not buying the paper actually signifies some sort of consent to appear on the program.)

Anyway, Levy, described in this terrific Slate review as "an olive in the show's jumbo-sized cocktail of pop detritus," is absolutely adorable. Even though we were apparently being insulted, it was hard not to be amused by the sophisticated retorts Levy stumblingly delivered. It takes a lot of talent, we find, to read aloud and occasionally look up—we're pretty sure if the show actually lasts a few more months he'll have almost mastered it!

In any event, to answer the most hurtful indictment, we did not sleep with Nick Denton to get our job; we sleep with Nick Denton to keep our job.
