It happens again - misidentifying Republican as Democrat
We were watching the Keith Olberman Show last night and lo and behold the ticker at the bottom of the screen lets us now the congressman Vitter (D) was involved in a sex scandal. As we all know Vitter is not a D(emocart) he is a R(epublican). This is not the first time I have heard of this happening what the hell is going on?

1. Likely a min. wage entry level clerk sitting at the keyboard.
I'm sure if you write to MSNBC and let them know of their error, they'll do an onair appology.

If this would have been FOX I would question if it was intentional, but at CNN....especially during the Olberman Show....I think it was just a stupid mistake.

6. Sorry for the typo. I had it right in the title, just goofed in the last line.
You know what I mean!

3. There Have Been Too Many of These "Mistakes", Always Calling a Crooked Repig a Democrat
When a Democrat is in trouble, they NEVER get his party affiliation wrong. Never.

9. Too bad
We even backed up our DVR to double check what we saw. Personally I don't really care if your skeptical. If you want to believe what I say fine if you don't no skin off my back.
