WP reporter can't spell "bear"

[Cocoa]

not to be too nitpicky, but all Dana Priest had to do was spell it the way the questioner did in their question.

Boston, Mass.: Does the administration itself bear any responsibility for the failure of its intelligence agencies?

Dana Priest: The CIA and its director work for the president. The president is responsible for hiring and firing that person, for holding that person and his agency responsible, for making sure, ultimately, that the agencies are working properly, spending more effectively and serving him--and the American people--the way it is supposed to. Was Nixon responsible for the operations of Attorney General John Mitchell? Were Johnson and Kennedy responsible, in any way, for the excesses of J. Edgar Hoover? Does Johnson bare any responsibility for McNamara's Vietnam vision? What about Bush I? What's his responsibility over a CIA that missed the collapse of the Soviet Union? Should Clinton bare a burden for the intel world's failure to see the imminent threat from Osama bin Laden? Does Bush have responsibility for his advisors so misjudging "post-war" Iraq? You get my drift. It's your call and you bet historians will be writing about that subject for years to come.

1. WP Editor apparently can't spell bear either

Nitpicky? Maybe, but that's one of the things editors are supposed to be paid for.

I can't bare this any longer, but I don't want to say too much, for fear of bearing my soul (or is that sole?).

2. That would be hysterical if it wasn't so pathetic.

Maybe it's all tied in to the repukes phony White House paid "reporter" who apparently like to 'bare' all in gay porn magazines!

3. ahem

Should Clinton bare a burden for the intel world's failure to see the imminent threat from Osama bin Laden?

not the intel world's failure.. but the Bush administration failure.

Intel was all over it, they even produced a PDB titled "Bin Laden determined to strike inside the united states".. (but the pres was on vacation)
