Idiot Tom Flocco Finally Retracts K. Harris Story

[bluestateguy]

Late last night we reported that Rep. Katherine Harris (R-FL) had died in a plane crash off the coast of Toronto, Canada. We were misinformed on this matter, as an unidentified staffer in Harris' office told us this morning that the Florida legislator was in her office. However, we still stand on the fact that we both talked to an individual in Harris' office at 10:30 pm and midnight Eastern Time yesterday requesting the individual to confirm or deny the story before publishing Monday on the day of the plane crash in Toronto.

What about CONSEQUENCES for this act of supreme stupidity and journalistic thuggery?

[Cocoa]

1. consequences are that no one will believe a word he says

which is unfortunate, because I associate him with the Sept. 11 families who are pushing investigations.

2. that is so stupid. It felt like there was nothing to it....

as an aside...is that a real quote in your tagline? If so, where was it? I'm curious. Scary if real.

4. Tagline

I'm not sure from what publication it originated. Google it and you will find it reprinted in several left of center publications and columns.

3. Flocco suckered himself....

Never, but never, run a story like that without independent confirmation. One source who won't be named does not a story make.

[lcordero]

5. The word "idiot" does even begin to describe it.

He killed off the real story by proxy.

6. A spot on MSNBC or Faux?

Or maybe a column in the New York Post.

[grasswire]

7. the freepers think it is a radio host

....but they have twice deleted the thread, so I can't retrieve his name. Someone they think is a "faggot."
