Funny Post

The Washington Post made another boo boo. Howard Kurtz explains in today's issue:

The newspaper is printing 10,000 copies a day of a special convention issue that is being distributed free among journalists and delegates attending the Democratic National Convention gathering here. And in large type at the top of Monday's second section, above a picture of John Kerry and John Edwards, is a banner headline: "ELECTION 2000."

Right topic, wrong year.

Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr. seems to have a good sense humour about the situation. The special issue will remain at the convention. He suggests that they may end up as collectors items on Ebay.

"At least we weren't wrong on the news," Downie said. "We were wrong in labeling the news."

OK, maybe you don't think it's funny, but I do.
