Most common, amusing, political typos on DU?
"Marshall Law" instead of "Martial Law" comes immediately to mind. Any other, specifically political typos?

(Not the common ones universal to the internet like "teh" and "taht")

1. I'm really tired of seeing...
our senator called "Kay Bailey "HutchiNson."

The woman's name is Hutchison. With no N. Even is she is a right wing snot, get her name right.

2. In the get the name right department, it's Gavin Newsom
who is the mayor of San Francisco, not Gavin Newsome.

I realize it may be a subliminal thing with some DUers who think he's handsome Newsome.

:crazy:

11. You expect me to look at him
and be able to type? At the same time? Get serious!

Khash.

(Another example of why CA rocks... Gavin, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Roberta Achtenburg, too many to name...)

7. "Nadar" & "Nadir" for Nader.
Even saw a few instances of "Kerrey" during the election, clearly referring to John Kerry, and not Bob Kerrey, the former Senator and 9/11 commissioner who's name really is spelled that way.

And we rag on the Freepers for rubbish spelling...
