We had quite a few readers yesterday who thought I was way off base by pointing out that AFP caption for a photo of Eliot Spitzer, with the letter (R) in parentheses. Some of them demanded that I apologize, to cleanse my soul of this transgression.
Well, AFP corrected that caption today, and admitted it was a “mistake.”
AFP FINALLY Corrects Their Labeling of Spitzer as an (R) — Big Deal.
