Weird Correction Of The Day
29 Jul 2008 09:50 am

On the Times op-ed page:


In her column last Wednesday, Maureen Dowd wrote that a Democratic lawmaker privately asked Gen. David Petraeus why there weren't more Democrats in the military, and he replied, "There are more than you think." Col. Steven Boylan of the general's public affairs office in Baghdad, which was not contacted for comment, says the quotation "is in error as he never made nor would make such a statement."

1. Well, that's strange.
I thought that Dowd only attacked Democrats like Gore and Kerry.
