Not to be outdone by Fox, MSNBC labels David Vitter a "Democrat"

(btw, they have since corrected it)

MSNBC website tags Republican ex-DC Madam client as a Democrat Michael Roston
Published: Friday July 13, 2007

The MSNBC website misidentified a Republican Senator from Louisiana on Friday as a Democrat. The erroneously captioned photo was posted with a news story about Senator David Vitter, who outed himself on Tuesday as a client of the so-called DC Madam, Deborah Palfrey.

"Sen. David Vitter, D-La., may not be Bill Clinton, but he may wish his wife was Hillary Clinton," reads the MSNBC caption.

A screen capture is presented below.

6. This isn't the first time this has happened. In fact, it happens quite frequently.
Strangely, always a GOPer in trouble identified as a Dem, never the other way around...

Makes you wonder... :shrug:

8. Do they hire Americans to put up these articles? Indeed,
when the English isn't poor then there's something equally poor that a minute dose of research would readily remedy. (try saying that when drunk...)
