Shameful. This news station put up a picture of A Rod instead of Mandela. http://t.co/wlDgGYz9zs

As if the association between Mandela and A-Rod wasn’t bizarre enough, there was also this nugget from late-night television on the Arsenio Hall show. Singer R. Kelly performed a tribute song he had apparently written for Mandela and performed for him previously during a visit to his home.
