Red Eye Explores ‘Andrew Breitbart-Eric Boehlert: Separated At Birth’

Fox News’ late night comedy/news show Red Eye explored a topic raised by The Washington Post‘s Dave Weigel last week – Andrew Breitbart‘s new Twitter image.

With Breitbart in studio, ombudsman Andy Levy got the answer right from the source – what’s with the Eric Boehlert lookalike picture?

Breitbart is no fan of Media Matters – his Twitter bio says, “I have to cover the sickening freaks at Media Matters.” But since last week, his Twitter picture looks very similar to that of Media Matters Senior Fellow Eric Boehlert. “Are you guys BFFs?,” asked Levy in Friday’s Postgame Wrap-Up. “What’s going on here?”

“There’s a love…that is unrequited,” said Breitbart. “And I am doing everything I can to requite it.”

During Breitbart’s encounter with Mediaite’s Rachel Sklar last week in D.C., he joked about attending the Media Matters after party. And he’s making good use of another encounter from the White House Correspondents Dinner in D.C. – with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. The image is now his Twitter background.
