Default Associated Press Typo, Today

OK.

You gotta see this.

It's the "Associated Press." I am talking the AP, writers for the universe or whatever. We all have a typo or two from time to time. But the AP! I just love a good typo. It does not take much to amuse me. And it's the AP. Even better fun. This one is really out there everywhere. Unless somebody caught it by now. But I have captured it here on TOTV for you all to see.

OK.

I had to put it in political because the article is political and I was afraid somebody would get me if I put it under "Fun Stuff" or whatever that forum is called.

The article is about potential VP choices for both parties.

You can just skip all the political :edit: and go right to the last line of paragraph 10 where it talks about McCain possibly picking Lieberman.

You know, we all know that sometimes a candidate has got to do what a candidate has got to do. But don't you think the Republicans should be a little more mannerly about this one?

See for yourself: (last line of paragraph 10.)

You wonder if that was done accidentally on purpose. After all, the r is not near the p, i, c, or k on the keyboard.

When I should have been doing something useful tonight, I ended up sitting here looking up stuff on Google about Nedra Pickler, the writer of typo fame in my post above.

Well, it turns out that she has been known to be a favorite of certain conservatives.

Sooooo, typo? Freudian slip? On purpose?

I guess some things we will just never know.

When I looked back at the link to check the name of the writer so I could look the stuff up, I noticed that the time on it had changed. I don't know how that works technologically. I sure hope they can't change that word in the last line of paragraph 10. It is way too funny, no matter what your political bent.

(But I don't get how that time changes in the link. I guess I don't need to know.)

Hi Boomer - a Freudian slip many people would say.

I copied the paragraph in case it is changed.

"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."

If she is leaning conservative it does not seem likely it would have been done on purpose

But Bucco, when it comes to politics, it's all about the degree of the lean. Or at least for me that's what it comes down to. Uh oh, sorry, I did not want to get political.

I believe Freud said "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." so I guess a prick is a prick.

BBB I thought this topic was leaning toward the psychological rather than the political side.

But then, if you put the two together and mix them about - you get political Freudian slips.
