Cringe-worthy blunder on MSNBC just now

Near the beginning of tonight's ED Show, fill-in host Michael Eric Dyson went through a litany of voices who opposed the invasion of Iraq, accompanied by photographs. When he came to Ambassador Joe Wilson, a picture of douchebag Tea Bagger congressman
Joe ("You Lie&quot Wilson was shown. Doh!
I guess FOX News isn't unique when it comes to egregious stupidity.

So one wonders, which is the right number. This was mostly to do with the Marine bomb story. But the screw-ups like what your OP said, are ridiculously high.

second string. I was never a fan of Dyson himself as a host, Ezra Klein would have been a better fill in until Chris Hayes arrived.
