Earlier this week, the Chronicle ran a “Washington Notebook” with this tidbit:
Senate foes swap barbs at Press Club
They come from worlds apart: Sen. Edward Kennedy, iconic liberal and a millionaire’s son from Massachusetts, and Rep. John Boehner, crusty conservative and a tavern-owner’s son from Ohio.
“The Kennedy family had Camelot,” Boehner said over dinner in a ballroom the other night. “We had Camel cigarettes.”
They also stand miles apart over the war in Iraq.
But they managed to come together for one glamorous night of mockery: the annual congressional dinner of the Washington Press Club Foundation.
The problem with the headline, as noted in this correction (not to mention the first sentence of the blurb), is that Boehner is not a member of the Senate.
What is the Chronicle‘s problem with this guy, anyway? A few months ago, the Editorial LiveJournalists got the state the guy represents AND his last name wrong.
