Bad Typo: Joe Lieberman a Real #%&*!

NEW YORK One of the most amusing typos of the season turned up for awhile overnight in a major Associated Press dispatch. Some in the liberal blogosphere, who have often criticized Sen. Joe Lieberman -- the Democrat turned Independent who has endorsed John McCain -- found it all too apt.

The typo, in an article on the upcoming vice presidential picks due from McCain and Barack Obama and written by one of the top AP political scribes, Nedra Pickler, was soon corrected but can still be found viewed via Google at numerous news sites early this morning.

After focusing on Obama, the article discusses several possible McCain picks, and relates, "His top contenders are said to include Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Less traditional choices mentioned include former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, an abortion-rights supporter, and Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential pr*ck in 2000 who now is an independent."

It's still up at such sites as the Houston Chronicle, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Cleveland's Plain Dealer and many more.

Absolutely appropriate term for him.

I agree.. and thought it was hilarious.

E&P must agree as well. They added the 'real' in their header.

Darnit, did I miss it?

The "typo" got it right.....

Oh wow. That tells me to read more slowly.

On second thought Arne... I'm not so sure it is appropriate. That appendage is good for something.

I'm not so sure Lieberman is.

Now.... who says there's no objectivity in journalism ?

Well, that word tends to designate "small" so in some cases, perhaps?

Lieberman IS an appendage.

The torpid 6th toe?
