45. PROOF: Here are the photos of the CNN Closed Captioning.

Anderson Cooper was saying they'd just received word that Hillary Clinton had called Barack Obama to congratulate him. The CNN closed captioning typist substituted "Al Qaeda" for "Hillary Clinton." Shameless. And nice catch, liberalhistorian. Just sent these off to Talking Points Memo and Media Matters with a link to your thread.
