Daily Iowan's Oct. 29 headline error inexcusable (poor little repukes)
Because of editing errors on several levels, the Oct. 29 edition of The Daily Iowan contained a front-page story on the UI chapter of College Republicans with an erroneous headline. As Editor in Chief, I take full responsibility for the headline "UI Republicans work hard at preserving their delusions" and want to clarify that the story's writer, DI reporter Nick Petersen, had nothing to do with the error. I offer my sincerest apologies to the UI College Republicans and the entire university community for this misrepresentation.

The timing of the mistake was particularly unfortunate because of Tuesday's general election, when Americans will choose several officials ranging from county supervisor to president of the United States.

2. *snicker* gee, what's wrong with that headline
considering rethugs are no longer part of the 'reality-based' community, they should be proud of their delusions. :evilgrin:
