Fox News - naughty, naughty!  It's kinda funny, actually.

You can find a few articles about it here:

Fox News quickly retracted the article, saying in an editor's note on its 
Web site that the article "was written in jest and should not have been 
posted or broadcast." It said, "We regret the error, which occurred 
because of fatigue and bad judgment, not malice."

The article, posted on Friday on foxnews.com, was written by Carl Cameron, 
the chief political correspondent for Fox News, and included several bogus 
quotes from Kerry, supposedly assessing his performance in the debate.

"Didn't my nails and cuticles look great? What a good debate!" the article 
quoted Kerry, the Democratic candidate, as telling his supporters in 
Florida after the event.

"Women should like me! I do manicures," the story also quoted him as 
saying. It also had Kerry contrasting himself with President Bush: "I'm 
metrosexual - he's a cowboy."
