Oops! Senator's article tells of phantom meeting with Obama nominee

Later in the day, the Utah senator issued a statement announcing that he would meet with Garland on Thursday, calling the appeals court judge "an honorable public servant who deserves our respect" but reiterating that the Senate should not act now.
Paul Edwards, executive editor of the Deseret News in Hatch's home state of Utah, said by email the article was a draft that was mistakenly published on newspaper's website, and apologized to Hatch and the newspaper's readers for "this unfortunate error."

Was it an accident or did someone who is sick of the shenanigans in Washington OUT him. Either way it is beautiful to see.
