But, the more I thought about the story that prompted the correction (the fact that our headline stated that ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis visited the White House but it appeared that it was a different Bertha Lewis), the more I kept thinking to myself: “What are the odds?” You see, it isn’t just Bertha Lewis who has a name doppelganger out there. The White House also claimed that the Jeremiah Wright who visited there was a different Jeremiah Wright. And, even more credulity-defying, a different Malik Shabazz visited the White House this year as well. |
