You know, some mistakes are really not acceptable. This is one.

Fortunately, Wolf Blitzer apologized today for this mistake from yesterday's edition of The Situation Room.

WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: One additional note, I just want to make a correction, an apology, Soledad, for what we did yesterday. In "THE SITUATION ROOM," we had a bad typographical error in one of ourgraphics. We were doing a piece on the hunt for Osama bin Laden in this new year 2007.

Unfortunately there was a graphic, instead of saying where is Osama, it said where is Obama. We want to apologize for that bad typo. We want to also apologize personally to Senator Barack Obama. I'm going to be making a call to him later this morning to offer my personal apology –Soledad.

The KOSsacks are, of course, frothing. They forget who the first national figure was who made that mistake -- fellow Senator Jabba the Drunk Ted Kennedy (D-Chappaquidick).

UPDATE -- 1/6/07: Some loony lefties (and some not-so-loony lefties) are still complaining about this obvious typo on CNN. I bet none of them were so upset when this error was made during an appearance by Congress On Racial Equality representative and Republican strategist Niger Innis appeared on MSNBC in 2002.

Then again, many of them probably think this is a fair description of any black Republican.
