Get A Copy Editor!

The Wall Street Journal must have laid off their copy editors to help keep the paper going through the recession. Their editorial page made and embarrassing error this morning by mixing up terms in a sentence as to make it read like it was written by patients in an insane asylum. They printed:
The treatment President Bush has received from this country is nothing less than a disgrace.
Obviously, they meant "The treatment this country has received from President Bush is nothing less than a disgrace."

I'll look for the correction tomorrow.

Don't hold your breath. The WSJ still thinks Mussolini was misunderstood and unappreciated.
