Another in our series of Too Stupid to Live Real Professional Reporters. Just remember: unlike those pajama-clad bloggers, these guys have EDITORS and fact checkers. Honest.

#2  I think the proper punishment is to make sure that there are plenty of people emailing, taking pictures with their phones, and working their CrackBerries during this reporter's and editor's funerals (or whatever the equivalent technologies will be at that time.)

Bonus points to anyone who will attempt to navigate "voice activated" customer service at the gravesite, too.

#1  "And popular political Weblog Daily Kos went so far as to call the incident 'repulsive.'"
