When Last Names Are Left Off a Tweet

Here’s what happens when one of those pesky blog commenters misinterprets a Tweet.

Tuesday night, Fox Business anchor Liz Claman tweeted:

Need some online shopping therapy but every SINGLE thing I wanted on JCrew.com was sold out. Thanks, Michelle!

A commenter on Business Insider posted that Claman was tweeting about her former CNBC colleague Michelle Caruso Cabrera.

Well we went straight to the source, and no, Claman was not talking about Caruso Cabrera but in fact she was talking about the only Michelle synonymous with J. Crew fashion, first lady Michelle Obama.
