New York Daily News' Sarah Palin Flub (PHOTO)

The New York Daily News website fleetingly implicated NFL legend Jerry Rice in a scandalous Sarah Palin rumor.

The Internet was ablaze on Wednesday with leaked details about an upcoming book on the Alaska governor. The juiciest (though rather dubious) rumor? That Palin had a fling with former NBA star Glenn Rice. Though the book has been getting some pretty vicious reviews, the story was made for the tabloids, and the Daily News splashed the rumor on its front page Thursday morning. For a time, though, it made a crucial mistake by saying that it was Jerry Rice, not Glen Rice, who was the subject of the rumor. The error was eventually corrected.

Below, see a screengrab of the Daily News' flub.

Banging the NBA and the NFL? Sounds like a Kardashian family story.

There outta be a couple of red-faced editors - let alone writers.

On the positive, Jerry never went to Alaksa thus avoiding the taint of Palin

Is this why she was ok with Dr. Laura using the "N-word"? She might have used it directly if Rice ever made passionate act.

Jokes. Funny stuff. Comedy. Jocularity. Black humor. Puns. Cuteness.

The Daily News is not owned by Murdoch.

Well that's a feather in thier cap then. Anything Murdoch is connected with should be immediately under suspicion. The man has manipulated the media to spread his Fascist ideology of right wing Republicanism and people have followed him without questioning even one "fact" his news services has reported. stupid!

You can take the reporter out of the National Enquirer, but you can't take the National Enquirer out of the reporter.

Term "reporter" used loosely.

"liberals, liberals, poo,poo, this is only new for the liberals". Oh shush. you know dang well if Obama got coked up and boned Mia Hamm in the nineties, we'd hear nothing but "those heathen liberals!" and far more poorly conceived jokes than those here.

Oh please you and yours have been trashing President Obama non-stop 24/7/365 for the past four years, and you can't stand to read about the premier agent of hate slime and lies?

Grow up and get over it.

I think you either 1) inadvertently replied to the wrong post (one which bashed Obama) or 2) you evidently didn't get the point.
Some people here are stating that this is generated for liberal consumption and they had also stated their distaste for the jokes about this situation. I am stating to those people, that if the 'party affiliation tables' were turned, that they, themselves, would be posting jokes mocking that situation. So, in a nutshell, I'm saying those seemingly right wing, 'holier-than-thou' folks are hypocrites.

Re-read the comment, and take note of the quotation marks.

I admit my guilt I enjoyed all the comments making fun of Palin.

She is the court jester. Her role on the political scene is the comic relief. No tragedy is complete without a fool.

Me too. We've made jokes about her (here in Alaska) for a lot longer than most people.

We asked, "Do you know where your children are?" Those of us who saw their web pages before they were yanked. We joked, "Do you know where your children go to school?" We joked, "Why is your unelected husband in this meeting?" We laughed our head off until McCain chose her. Then we got mean....

The heck with the Sarah Palin story. I want to know more about the story titled: "She mixed cocaine into her boyfriend's dinner."

Wait a minute. That still may be a Sarah Palin story.
