We hesitate to ridicule our colleagues at other papers, but did you see that gigantic screw-up at the New York Post?
Even as we at "Would We Lie?" were getting the news firsthand from John Kerry that John Edwards was his choice for No. 2 on the Democratic ticket, the Post was declaring on its front page:
KERRY'S
CHOICE
Dem picks
Gephardt as
VP candidate
As former workers in Missouri, we want to pay our respects to Rep. Dick Gephardt and would have voted for him several times per election if we didn't have this felony conviction hanging over our heads.
We goof.
But what a booboo, huh?
Ranks right up there with the infamous "ROASTED NUTS" headline about burned-up mental patients, the headline that had Dewey beating Truman, and the one from 2000, "BUSH WINS."
Oh, yeah. He did. Eventually.
If you call that "winning."
