Thanks to the lovely Google Cache, a blog's since-pulled offline report about Chris Matthews' revelation and Tucker Carlson's confirmation, during a Portfolio photo shoot at MSNBC's D.C. studio, that Arianna Huffington had hired a private investigator to tail a NBC colleague (since identified as Tim Russert) can still be read.

As it the censored item now reads: "The original author of this post and the editor of this blog would like to sincerely apologize to Conde Nast, Portfolio, Chris Matthews, Tucker Carlson and the photographer on set for any problems or inconvenience we might have caused. We had no intention to bring harm to anybody involved."

Except, well, too late? The blogger, Douglas Thompson, has officially screwed over his friend, the photographer, who he tagged along with. No more Conde Nast work for you, buddy.
