Newspaper confuses Daschle with Saddam, had him calling U.S. "evil ones"
That Simpsons parody of Fox News wasn't too far off...

Readers of the Cleveland Plain Dealer this week might be excused for wondering if Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota is beginning to sound an awful lot like ousted Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D.

In a front-page story Monday, the paper quoted Daschle declaring, in reference to the United States, "The evil ones now find themselves in crisis, and this is God's will for them."

In a correction, however, noted by the Wall Street Journal's Best of the Web, the Cleveland daily said because of an editing error the quote from an audiotape purportedly of Saddam Hussein was misattributed to the South Dakota senator.

2. Sounds like a Bushevik got in a good one
Editing error my ass. I think that Bushevik editro slipped in exactly what he wanted to say.

"Oops, my bad," said Sammy the Bull Gravano after whacking his 10th victim.

5. IF he HAD said it about the US I might have some respect for Daschle
That statement is absolute truth about the Bush Crime Family.

9. Well, if Daschle was talking about Bush-Cheney-Rove etc...
...


I might be prepared to believe it...



Daschle: "The evil Bush and Cheney now find themselves in crisis, and this is God's will for them."

10. Not surprising, considering that...
most Northeast Ohioans frequently confuse The Plain Dealer with used toilet tissue. I'm not aware that anyone attaches a great deal of credibility to anything that appears in it.
