I am not surprised that such an attempt would occur on a high profile figure, but how prevalent is crime in St. Petersburg?

This "news" story is about an event that not only did not take place, but that didn't take place more than 4 years ago!

Was the Drudge Report having a slow day?

I am a bit confused about your lack of well assimilated commentary. What is this "Drudge Report," and what may I ask does it belong associated with a Washington Times story?

Now as to the stories authenticity, I must rely on the credentials of the story and its lack of retraction.

Would you care to indulge me with verifiable information that may cast a shadow upon this news article?

Otherwise, it might be assumed that you are a tad bit odd in regards to your cognitive skills.
