WaPo Mislabels NC Rep Patrick McHenry as War Veteran!

(Shocking in that Robin Wright was one of those listed as contributing to the article and she's usually very credible. McHenry, a War Veteran :rofl:)


WaPo mislabels Rep. McHenry as ‘an Iraq war veteran.’

In the Washington Post’s write up today of Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker’s second day of testimony, reporters William Branigin, Robin Wright and Peter Baker quoted Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) as saying, “Let the generals in the field dictate.” The reporters also referred to McHenry as “an Iraq war veteran“:

Republicans, by contrast, seized on the plan as a political lifeboat after months of being forced to vote against measures repudiating Bush’s policy. “Let the generals in the field dictate,” said Rep. Patrick T. McHenry (N.C.), an Iraq war veteran. “We would support it,” said Rep. Jack Kingston (Ga.), a member of the defense appropriations subcommittee.

McHenry, however, never served in the military, let alone the Iraq war. You can email the Post’s corrections page at [email protected]. 1:02

12. His Name Has Surfaced In a Florida Suicide Case

One involving three GOOP "operatives" who were invovled in some fatlistic love triangle or quadrangle or whatever.

Maybe the Post should do a little investigating on that story. Nah...that requires reporting, not stenography.

:hi:

14. Which somehow ties back to a gay male prostitution ring

in Virginia that allegedly services prominent Repubs, involves the murder of a competitor and someone is being blackmailed.
