Another great headline: "Logs show Abramoff made two White House visits"
Edited on Wed May-10-06 07:39 PM by Sparkly
Count on it -- rightwingers will say, "He made two visits -- big deal!" (And naturally, "Look at how many times Monica Lewinsky visited!")

The thing is, you have to actually click the link to see the rest (and who among them can summon that much energy)?

Logs show Abramoff made two White House visits

By Thomas Ferraro 1 hour, 9 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Secret Service said on Wednesday its record show that lobbyist Jack Abramoff made at least two visits to the White House long before being convicted of political corruption this year, but acknowledged there may have been more.


Wire stories like this appear all over the place, but the headlines vary. Somehow Yahoo, AOL, and CNN have TERRIBLE headline writers (and they're often changed later, even without change to the article itself).

Were the words "at least" just too difficult, expensive, time-consuming to include? :eyes:

We're at war. Why do you hate America?

2. They should be thankful that the logs are only on paper and
not bearing down on their windshields....
