Stop the Presses!!!

I bet the New York Post wishes someone had shouted that early this morning, before they ran a full page color front cover with the subhead: "Dem picks Gephardt as VP candidate." I can't find a link to a photo of the cover (help is appreciated), and they've been quick enough to change the story on their website, but shit like this cracks me up. It's a pretty good idea not to believe anything you read in the Post to begin with, but this is just wrong. It's no "Dewey Defeats Truman," but I thought my journalist friends might get a chuckle out of it. Maybe they were wrong about last Friday's Mega Millions numbers also . . .
