She gave me a pseudo-apology that managed to avoid taking responsibility for making the error. It's basically the article linked here and elsewhere on the blogosphere. Here it is for your consumption.
You are right that the AP made a mistake in quoting Dean. We are taking
this seriously and are running a correction on the debate story from
yesterday.
Here is how it reads:
JOHNSTON, Iowa (AP) _ In a Jan. 4 story about the Democratic presidential debate, The Associated Press erroneously quoted Howard Dean saying, "I opposed the Iraq war when everyone else up here was for it."
Official transcripts of the debate show that he said, "I opposed the Iraq war; with the exception of Dennis and Carol, everybody else
supported it." Dean was referring to Dennis Kucinich and Carol Moseley Braun.
Sincerely,
Nedra Pickler
I wonder if this was forced upon her.
