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.
