The Radio Equalizer- Brian Maloney ^ | August 12th, 2005 | Brian Maloney

Less than a day after the New York Times botched its Air America scandal coverage with an inaccurate Al Franken quote, along comes the AP, to do it correctly.

Wow, there's a way to kick your weekend off on the right foot!

There's an ad from Carrerbuilder.com on the page that shows a monkey wearing a suit and tie. If they had put glasses on the monkey I'd have mistaken it for a pic of Franken.

If you read carefully into the details of this story, I think you'll see that Frankenberry's goose is cooked.

The cons are proceeding very, very carefully, but endgame will be checkmate, I think.
