AP Accidentally Calls Lieberman A Prick

Editor & Publisher:

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 prick in 2000 who now is an independent."

[Pupadup4oBama]

they say politics makes strange bedfellows....but c'mon - this is really pushing the envelope...:)

BTW - that's a pretty nasty visual.

[ZeLittleGrayCells]

I think I died a little inside at that visual

[SuiginTou7]

Nooooo, I don't see a mistake.

In my opinion the typo stands, besides in my opinion he is a judas to the democratic party, and his constituents only put up with him, because he sends millions of dollars of pork to their state. He can be bought and his constituents can be bought.

The real pork he sends is going to Israel, not to Connecticut.

[Freakpower]

I did it too, also Mc.Cain, Bush, Rove and Cheney!

And I'm not sory!

Technically, they don't need to issue a retraction.

[jazzman]

Was it a slip or a blinding flash of the obvious?

[Susej]

Typos often happen when a letter key is pressed instead of or in conjunction with another adjacent letter on the keyboard.
Now look where the letter "R" is with respect to "P" "I" "C" "K" on your keyboard.
It is NOT a typo. This IS a trypo.

[Steamboater]

An accident? LOL It's the truth.

[RP830]

He is what he is....a P.R.I.C.K....

[jazzman]

a small, old, shriveled up one but one nonetheless

[dora rice]

agreed.

[pascaljim]

Joe baby...after reading the past fifteen pages of postings, the conclusion is you are a P,R.I.C.K., but much much worse, a J.E.R.K....

[itmaybetoolate]

Can you say "Freudian slip?" I have a good laugh over this one!!!

[IslandGyal]

It was a slip; it was the truth.

[IslandGyal]

I meant it wasn't a slip; it was the truth.

[Pupadup4oBama]

there are no accidents in life.

[itmaybetoolate]

I HAD a good laugh over this. My typing skills are getting worse.

[allonfla]

I bust out laughing everytime I see the title of this article - gawd - I wish Jon Stewart was around.

Sometimes you have to call it as you see it.
