Whoops! Fox Biz Metaphor Ruined by Reality

At 35, Alexis Glick is a little young to be having senior moments. So how to explain a curious utterance she made on Fox Business this morning?

Discussing recent reports that Yankees co-owner Hank Steinbrenner could partner with Red Sox owner John Henry outside the realm of baseball, Glick quipped, "That would be like watching The New York Times and the Boston Globe get together."

Or maybe it would be just a tad less far-fetched, since The New York Times Co. owns the Globe, and has since 1993 -- as Glick surely knows.

Maybe she was joking? Watch the video and decide for yourself. Or maybe that's just what happens when you wake up at 4 a.m. and spend the first hour of your day breathing hairspray.
