Politico Playbook fucked up:

[demmiblue]

CORRECTION: This morning's Playbook had a photo of a Friday dinner at Le Diplomate, and misidentified Iris Schumer, the majority leader’s wife, as Sonia Sotomayor.

Our tipster got it wrong, but we should have double checked. We deeply regret the error.

1. It's a right wing publication for right wingers.

The error was probably intentional.

2. Apparently, it has made the rounds this morning (also, PIC included):

The claim that Justice Sotomayor had dinner with Schumer and Pelosi last night has spread pretty far this morning, but the source of the claim, Politico, now says it’s wrong.

This is the pic playbook didn’t double check. You can’t see the faces of either Schumer or his wife, whom the tipster misidentified as a Supreme Court Justice.

3. It is already being spread by elected officials

4. See what a Billion $$$ buys. Axel Springer chose the right mag to purchase. Politico

He expects a return on his investment as well.

First ya do the shitty hit, wait til it makes the news, then ya do the correction.

The writers for Politico/Playbook should be sued.
