John Gibson Did Not Compare Eric Holder To Monkey With Bright Blue Scrotum (UPDATED)

Huffington Post | Alex Leo | February 19, 2009 05:46 PM

UPDATE: The Huffington Post has learned that the below video has been doctored. We regret the error and apologize to Mr. Gibson. John Gibson never compared Eric Holder to a monkey with a bright blue scrotum.

Rather, as seen in the unedited video below, Gibson played audio of Holder saying "nation of cowards" -- so his full, unedited remarks were:

"We were talking about Eric Holder today on the radio and his comment that this is a nation of cowards."

The video was doctored to include Trace Gallagher's voice saying, "bright blue scrotum" where Gibson played Holder's "nation of cowards" remark. The Huffington Post does not know the source of the video's doctoring — it was picked up off TVNewser.

The Huffington Post regrets the error. -- Alex Leo and Danny Shea

3. That was an incredible hoax

I watched the video and had no idea it was doctored in any way.

4. I approve of this thread title.

I don't give a monkey's bright blue scrotum about the context--I just wanted to applaud the title.

5. John Gibson IS a bright blue scrotum!
