Someone is at the unemployment line today.

Confirmed: ABC Denver misnames Petraeus book: ‘All up in my snatch’

Oh my.

A reader just sent me something that I didn’t believe. Then he sent me a photo. Then he sent me a video. Then I found a comment on ABC Denver’s Web site from another viewer who saw the same thing. So now I’m printing it. (UPDATE: It’s nw been confirmed by the local station.)

In a piece on the 5pm news about now-resigned CIA director David Petraeus and his affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, ABC News’ Denver affiliate put a photo of the biography on the screen, but the book had an awfully odd name.

The name of the Petraeus biography is, in real life, ‘All In.’

Here’s the book that ABC Denver showed instead:

Priceless. "Hey! Louie?" Wha? "Get us a cover shot of that Paula Broadwell book." Who? "Broadwell." Which one? "The Petraeus one." OK. I'll look.

ABC has obviously mastered the fine art of the single entendre.

Which is kind of a pity, because there there's so much comedy gold in this saga without being crude. For example:

All in: that goes without comment.

The Education of General Petraeus

An 'embedded' journalist who had 'unrestricted access' to the General.

Writer's diary, day 1: getting the lay of the land.

Writer's diary, day 2: getting my...feet under the desk.

The *head desk* moment.

Broadwell tells all: I give General Petraeus 'four stars'.

Broadwell sings: I'm the very (machine gun) model of a modern military ~~major~~ general...

Petraeus: I was hoping to get the Gingrich voters when I launched my Presidential run...

Getting to know your subject (in the biblical sense).

Getting to know your biographer inside out.

Polishing your thesis material.

Creating a surge/staying the course.

And in a shocking twist, it turns out the FBI agent who kicked off the investigation is none other than...Anthony Wiener.

All joking aside, folks. If there's one lesson we should all take away from this story, it's this:

The E-mail of the species is far, far deadlier than the mail.

Worse Than Watergate? the Ultimate White House Scandal Matrix
Worse than Watergate. That's the refrain coming from the Obama administration's critics as it scrambles to tamp down a growing pile of scandals. "The Obama administration's cover-up of the September 11, 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack surpasses Watergate," states Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa). The IRS-tea party scandal "is far worse than Watergate," according to Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.). And Pinal County, Arizona, Sheriff Paul ...

The Collapse of Infrastructure Spending in One Chart - Business Insider

Trayvon Martin Texts, Photos: Might They Change Zimmerman Trial?

Game Over for Obamacare Saboteurs?
The spoiler version is that out in California, where the state government and advocacy groups are actually interested in doing Obamacare right, things are looking pretty good. They're standing up their exchanges and it turns out premiums for basic bronze and more comprehensive silver health plans will actually come in lower than anticipated. This is almost unambiguously good news for Obamacare. You can ...

4 Reasons ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ Is Secretly About Drugs
Nice, right? Anyway, here's my thesis: Raiders of the Lost Ark is not an action-adventure movie about an archaeologist who plays by his own rules and saves the day. Instead, the film is an exploration of Marion Ravenwood's crippling drug addiction. An addiction that was born from her unhealthy relationship and continued association with Indiana Jones. Is it true? Who cares. Can I prove ...

As shocking and appalling as Wednesdays brutal murder was, Woolwich (wool-ich) is a not so surprising location for such an attack.
