They had a story about Lewis Libby’s testimony today and the reporter’s name was Libby Lewis. And she didn’t even make a joke about it. :dubious:

Lighten up, Francis.

Cute. 😃

And I heard an interview of Lewis Libby by Libby Lewis, I swear! It was a few weeks ago, maybe a month or more, come to think of it. Made me smile. I think the ATC host made a comment, though. 🙂

Libby Lewis has been doing the news stories on Lewis Libby for a couple of months now. The hosts of the show did talk about the odd coincidence when she started doing these reports. Nobody on _All Things Considered_ talks about it anymore since they don’t find it interesting anymore.

Why oh why am I always the last to know!?! I think I heard Libby Lewis for the first time this week!

I caught that too and thought maybe I heard her name wrong. But then at the end of the report she states her name clearly.

I find it strangely amusing.

Yeah, they got enough mail that they did a brief piece on it a few months ago.

Then they let it drop. It’s not really news…just an interesting coincidence.
