Ms. Buchman resigned or turned in her press card or whatever those public radio folks do and offered apologies "to anyone who I may have personally offended" for what she called a "mistake."

Have you noticed whenever a liberal gets caught in a lie, bad journalism or worse, it is always a mistake?

I sent an email to Richard Halicks (Atlanta Journal-Constitution) who jumped on a false story about Dow Chemical and the Bhopal, India disaster.

His response:

Did it occur to you that there are people on the other end of your email who actually made this mistake and who feel absolutely dreadful about it?

You're right. I should have double-checked and didn't and got hammered because of it. But I'm not a fool. I'm a person who cares about his job and who occasionally makes mistakes.

Please permit me to apologize personally to you for this error.

Thank you.

Editor, Sunday @issue, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

What a jerk this arrogant editor is.
