Gore Bashing Correction from Center for Public Integrity! Sheesh!

[KoKo]

Remember when CPI produced that report making it sound like Clinton/Gore took almost as many trips as Bushies? And that Gore's staff took the most trips on the Tax Payers dime?

Now there is a correction...but too late to do any good with the RWingers who've blasted it out there already:

From Dan Froomkin of WaPo:

Correction

Michael J. Sniffen writes for the Associated Press: "In a Nov. 30 story on trips by White House employees paid for by outside groups between 1998 and 2004, The Associated Press cited a report by a Washington-based watchdog that turned out to have numerous errors. The Center for Public Integrity attributed the mistakes to data entry errors discovered after it released the report. Its corrected report says:

* "The value of the trips by White House employees during six years of the Clinton and Bush administrations was $1.5 million, not $2.3 million.

* "The number of White House officials who took more than $10,000 in sponsored trips was 23, not 51.

* "Only one, rather than 29, worked in Vice President Al Gore's office."
