Fake, But Accurate
Wisful Thinking
Freudian Slip

Or simply that famous WaPo fact-checking we've all come to know and love...

#2 -- "We must address these threats, but we must not be manipulated into acting for ideological or political gain."--

The stupid party should file this quote away and bring it out when needed, but they won't.

#4 Harry, you really are a donkey (or ass) through and through. And, thanks to your mindless utterings, you will never be Senate majority leader. And, your wacko compatriot Pelosi, is completely out of her mind if she thinks any rational Americans wanting her heading up the House. She can't even reign in a law breaker like Rep. Jefferson. She has to bargain. What a ntural born leader.

#7 However, he didn't respond yet to my kind e-mail. Don't know whether it was me or whether it was one of a (I suspect) thousand others.

And no stated correction on the article. You'd think they could do that in the e-version. Wonder if they'll have a print correction in the next day or so?

#9 Reid is an idiot and not likely to get any better.

#10 I wouldn't have expected the august Washington Post to actually respond to your note, Steve. That they made the change, even unacknowledged, is all we could ever expect. Possibly the error will be mentioned in tomorrow's dead tree paper, but I would be surprised to see mention of what I'm sure they think of as a typo.

Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid

Not likely!

Minority...

You can't promote him just because you agree with him.

#12 I can how the WaPo could make that mistake.

After all, Harry thinks he's the majority leader.
