The Associated Press gets caught with a sophomoric copy editing error in a headline for a major story". Someone let slip:
Bush Raps Democrats on Spending Bills
They obviously meant the hed to read:
Bush Rapes Democrats on Spending Bills
Pathetic, just pathetic. And that's just the poor copy editing. Not to mention the dog bites man nature of the story.
Ha ha. The "dog bites man" reference dates me, doesn't it? According to the AP stylebook, the term has been replaced by "Bush rapes Democrats," but their own copy editors fuck up such a simple question of style. Must be Bush appointees.
