Follow-Up: Planted Propaganda in Parade Magazine?

This morning, I wrote about an anomalous item in Parade Magazine's "Personality Parade" feature which was published yesterday. Amongst the usual celebrity queries was one question which stuck out like a sore thumb. Unfortunately, it won't be available online for a week, but thanks to Pony Pal™ Snidely Whiplash, we now have a scan of it:

Seriously, is this item planted? This trashy column is, indeed, penned by "The Truth About Hillary" author Edward Klein, writing anonymously as "Walter Scott", as documented in the New York Daily News and elsewhere. Here, the man beloved by the GOP is giving an obvious wet kiss to their Social Security agenda, attempting to legitimize it by conjuring up the supposedly-nonpartisan Alan Greenspan, and by presenting the idea of benefits cuts as inevitable; And all this is placed neatly in a cutesy Q&A column which usually concerns itself with the kind of hard-hitting info requested in the subsequent question seen here.

Did one of "Personality Parade"s celebrity-addled fans actually send in this question, or did Klein simply make it up to help his Republican buddies? Does "B. Morse" of Tucson, Arizona really exist? Possibly. Possibly not.

UPDATE: I published a diary about this at Daily Kos and got some amusing comments in response.
