Ain’t No One Buyin’ What You’re Selling Tom
NM’s Own esteemed and beloved newsman Tom Joles, who had been MIA for a week or so, returned to the anchor desk Monday night with some splainin’ to do. And this is what he came up with.
Where’s Ari Gold or Samantha Jones when you need a good spin doctor? Perhaps fellow former NM anchors Monica Armenta, Augusta Meyers, or Terry McDermott, turned professional spokes models could’ve advised on the presentation of this situation as rumors are runnin’ amuck.
Social networking sites, blogs and comment boards are abuzz with everything from battery, to nighttime pony rides gone awry, to frisky business. At first glance our crew said, yeah he must’ve biffed it à la Charlie Rose via MacBook Air.
We put an informal request in to the station for additional info./confirmation and then tried a little investigative ~journalism of our own to try and match the KOB sinus explanation with what we see and found the following at WebMD symptom checker: Without physical trauma, bruising of the face in an otherwise healthy man such as Tom turned-up an unfortunate blood platelet issue called Thrombocytopenia or Botulinum Toxin injection.
God, we hope it’s Botox – mainly because we only wish him well and wouldn’t begrudge anyone a lil’ temporary cosmetic enhancement – though Joles doesn’t need a damn thing done and he better NEVER go for anything more drastic à la “Kenny Rogers eyes“!
