I don’t understand this newfangled technology that allows someone to post on YouTube the orientation that Ana Marie Cox gave me nearly three years ago when I joined Swampland. But here it is. . .

In other news, Vice President Joe Biden let slip on Leno last night the real mechanics behind the spy swap.

Leno asked Biden during a taping of “The Tonight Show” why the U.S. was sending 10 accused spies back to Russia while getting only four in return.

“That doesn’t seem fair,” Leno said.

“We got back four really good ones,” Biden reassured Leno. “And the ten, they’ve been here a long time, but they hadn’t done much.”

Leno then showed a sultry photo of alleged Russian agent Anna Chapman and asked: “Do we have any spies that hot?”

Biden’s reply, in a mock-serious tone: “Let me be clear. It was not my idea to send her back.”

The vice president also said he had one more suggestion for the deal that was ignored.

“I thought they’d take Rush Limbaugh,” he said.
