A Fox News reporter implies that the Obamas' fist bump could have been a "terrorist fist jab":

The piece goes on to examine non-verbal communication, but she never explains why the fist bump has terrorist implications.
A few days later she apologized. She stated (emphasis added),
"I mentioned the various ways the Obamas' fist pump in St Paul had been characterized in the media. I apologize because unfortunately some thought I personally had characterized it inappropriately. I regret that, it was not my intention, and certainly didn't mean in any way to associate the word "terrorist" in any way with Senator Obama and his wife."

Does anyone know which media she was referring to? Which media outlet first characterized the Obamas' fist bump as a terrorist...anything? I did a search but found nothing about it, except a blog or two. It seems the first (non-blog) outlet that mentions it is Fox News. Does that mean a blog or two is enough to merit mention in the MSM?
Oh, and the entire New York Yankees team...? They might be terrorists, 'cause I see them doing these terrorist fist bumps all the time.
