So an esteemed reader sent me some info about Rachel Smith and suggested that I also do a retraction. I have the NY Daily News to thank for that!!! Bastards! Anyway, he was kind enough to send me the truth to this story!.
Hi, Seattle,
I have the text of Widdicombe’s retraction, which follows, but no link:
“In an interview credited to a freelance contributor on Monday, this column quoted Miss USA Rachel Smith “dissing” Katie Couric during a red carpet interview. The Miss Universe organization later complained that her comment was taken out of context. After reviewing the taped interview I agree that Miss Smith used the word “credibility” in a context that could have been misinterpreted by the journalist. A pageant rep tells us: “Rachel is a huge fan of Katie Couric and would love nothing more than to have a career such as hers.”"
See? The Beatniks is for THE CHILDREN!!!
