At the Idaho Statesman, Opinion Editor Kevin Richert pokes the Idaho GOP for firing off a broadside against Democrat Keith Allred that was laden with fact and spelling errors. Take it away, Kevin: " ... this press release is a doozy.
"First, the House speaker's name, and it's the bane of Statehouse
reporters and pundits, is Lawerence Denney. The Republicans manage to
spell his first and last names wrong. There is something to be said for
consistency.
"Second, the release quotes Senate President Pro Tem Robert Geddes
as follows: “I am very sure the 2006 tax reduction Mr. Allred speaks of
was a legislative action that Governor Otter signed into law." (You sure about that? Otter was in Congress in 2006. Dirk Kempthorne was governor.)
