Cheers and Jeers to Yahoo News



I thought it was a stroke of ironic genius that Yahoo News chose to illustrate their story about Laura Bush decrying Hillary Clinton's plantation comments with a photo (see above) of an imperious-looking Queen First Lady surrounded by African farmers. Zzzing! I was less than impressed, however, by their copy editing skills as she went on to talk about Ray Nagin's "chocolate city" remarks:
"He wants people who lived in New Orleans to come back," Mrs. Bush said. "I do to, and I know the president does to. You know it's going to take a long time."
To... too... whatever.
