You've got to hand it to the traditional media because their job truly is hard work. If giving themselves whiplash from looking the other way when John McCain constantly confuses Sunnis with Shiites wasn't enough, now they're having to clean up transcripts when yet another Bush administration official proves that he's an idiot. Via Atrios:
An April 13 Associated Press article on national security adviser Stephen Hadley's appearances on that day's episodes of ABC's This Week, and Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday, during which he discussed President Bush's decision to attend the opening ceremonies of the summer Olympics in Beijing, reported: " 'The whole issue of opening ceremonies is a nonissue,' Hadley said. 'I think it is a way of dodging what really needs to happen if you're concerned about' Tibet." In fact, Hadley said on This Week, "This whole issue of opening ceremonies is a nonissue. I think it is a way of dodging what really needs to happen if you're concerned about Nepal"
And for anyone thinking, come on, we all misspeak now and then, Hadley didn't say it once, he said it repeatedly. But hey, kudos to the Associated Press for cleaning up after the administration...God knows they wouldn't want to mess up any perceptions the American people might have about Bush & Company.
