She wouldn't be qualified to hold a security clearance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10563856.post-78104709765582260832008-09-03T21:16:00.000-04:002008-09-03T21:16:00.000-04:00Thanks for the correction!

Not that anything you said was really responsive to my comment (which was suggesting that the retraction give useful context to the reader - which you seem to assume they've picked up elsewhere).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10563856.post-574421161081850852008-09-03T16:28:00.000-04:002008-09-03T16:28:00.000-04:00Calm down mb.

Otherwise, it blows your credibility and people have the right to question your integrity.<BR/><BR/>Isophorone wasn't lying. I checked it out and sourced it. And I didn't stop at National Review Online. The NYT themselves corrected their report. It's what responsible journalists do.<BR/><BR/>Nobody is mistake free. But conscientious newspapers and bloggers issue retractions when mistaken. <BR/><BR/>Believe me, though, there are far more disturbing things about Palin and McCain to report. And the only way you'll be believed is if you tell the truth to the best of your ability.Karen Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13954405672195734097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10563856.post-5964015401645587642008-09-03T16:02:00.000-04:002008-09-03T16:02:00.000-04:00Fantastic.

Perhaps you'll add her husband's membership as context, and then talk about her recent speech to the AIK in which she said that she shared its vision. <BR/><BR/>You can admit a factual mistake (in this case, relying on a lying winger) without rolling it all the way back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
