Presidential candidates love to moan about media bias. This year, it is John McCain playing the victim, accusing reporters of liking him less than Barack Obama. It certainly seems they cover him less than the Senator from Illinois - the Washington Post has just admitted it has published three times as many front pages stories on Obama than on McCain since the two of them secured their parties nominations. Of course this may just be because Obama is more interesting.
But the Associated Press news wire might feel compelled to issue an apology pursuant to a piece written in Chicago about the runners and riders in the Veep-stakes. Read the following carefully and see if you don't agree that Senator Lieberman might have cause to grouse. (Though we assume the typo was inadvertant.)
"John McCain's top contenders are said to include Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Less traditional choices mentioned include former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, an abortion-rights supporter, and Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential prick in 2000 who now is an independent".
No harm done, apparently. The prick is still being talked about everywhere as a McCain running mate.
