Can they get any weirder?

This supposed gotcha moment has been stretched over two or three days now:

Czech leader Vaclav Klaus caught stealing pen on Chile trip

Anyone who has ever attended a conference, or organized one, and I've done plenty of both, will know that ball-point pens are give-aways found in nearly every single conference package ever created.

The pen is at once an advertising gimmick given in mass quantities by one of the conference sponsors and a token gift from the conference organizers for attendees to take home with them, not to mention something the attendees can actually use while at the conference to take notes on those little notepads, which are also advertising gimmicks/token gifts found in the conference goodie bag.

Oh. And sometimes the big names invited to conference will get the Cadillac version of a pen - a nice one inscribed with something and set in a little gold embossed, silky-padded box.

Cripes. Does the MSM have a death wish or what! Or are they just trying to punish Klaus for being a AGW skeptic?

Must be a slow news day. Harper won the debate, after all. Gotta find something else to focus on.
