Nope. I found it first in the Houston Chronicle in an AP story by an AP guy named Crady. It is an AP story that had been prepared by Aug 3 to run on Aug 5. The Hilton story is dated Aug 5. The first FR post on the subject was at 1 am of Aug 5.

The Zimbio posting is by you and the source for the Zimbio story is Perez Hilton. That Perez Hilton culled it from AP is obfuscation on your part.
Perez Hilton lit the match.
