Connie Schultz Provides a Teaching Moment

A conservative blogger, sensing a scandal after seeing a bunch of pictures of Connie Schultz, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, getting cozy with Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), sent the following e-mail to Schultz:
Email from conservative blogger, dated July 9, 2012:
Dear Ms. Shultz,
We are doing an expose on journalists in the elite media who socialize with elected officials they are assigned to cover. We have found numerous photos of you with Sen. Sherrod Brown. In one of them, you appear to be hugging him.
Care to comment?
Schultz's response:
Response, dated July 10, 2012:
Dear Mr. [Name Deleted]:
I am surprised you did not find a photo of me kissing U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown so hard he passes out from lack of oxygen. He's really cute.
He's also my husband.
You know that, right?
Connie Schultz.
As of yesterday, Connie Schultz is still waiting on a response from the blogger
July 17: Waiting, I'm waiting....
Schultz posted the whole exchange on Facebook, but declined to name the blogger because she believed it's just a young intern who can learn something from the mistake. 

Moral of the story?  DO YOUR RESEARCH!
