For covering the new standards being set in the Hanky-Panky Dept. by T. Woods (and after a paid visit from her Nazi collaborators late last night), our studio is proud to announce the first ever Lara Spencer Spokesperson Of The Year Award to this year’s incipient recipient, our inspiration,  Lara Spencer.  Kudos Lara and thank you for sizing the photo!

2nd best spin this week: The Insider – During a round table discussion w/Niecy and Sabato, Jr., Lara Spencer closes the segment suggesting Tiger Woods has “done us a favor by bringing this issue out into the open.”  Eeech.
