You know the drill, tell AP their wire story contains poop...

http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/09/05/katrina.bush.ap/index.html

"Bush visits Louisiana, Mississsippi"

Paragraph 12...

"Bush hasn't gone a day without a public event devoted to the storm and its aftermath"

Go ask them if their reporter was born Wednesday. The author (I got this from other google news-listed sources) is Jennifer Loven.

1. Jennifer Loven - making lots of enemies, it seems

When I Googled her name, the first link was the Powerline blog, slamming her as a "Democratic Operative" for defending Kerry against Bu$h.

3. Don't blame Loven for that

That information was given to her; she didn't pull it out of her ass. She might've just shrugged and stuck it in to make her word count.

Most wire stories contain some fluff so they can be easily cut if need be. A bureau editor should've caught that.
