Too clever by half with a headline

By Richard K. Barry

Hey Chris. It's Mitt. I'm going with
Pawlenty. What do you think?

Here's something incredibly silly. CNBC ran a story today with the following headline: "Christie: I'd 'Answer the Call' if asked to be Vice President."

But here's what New Jersey Governor Chris Christie actually said about a potential VP nod: "I love being governor, you can tell. But the fact is, if Gov. Romney picks up the phone and calls, you have to answer that call and listen at least."

Sorry guys, but "answering the phone" is not the same as "answering the call."

But you did get my attention, if that was your goal. Good job there.
