The Los Angeles Times did not
correct or retract it's story claiming that Fred Thompson lobbied for
an abortion group. They just went back, Brave New World style, and deleted evidence of their chicanery. Here's a paragraph from the original story:
| “ |
But Judith DeSarno, who was president of the family
planning association in 1991, said Thompson lobbied for the group for
several months. At one of the meals, she recalled, Thompson re-enacted a cowboy death scene from one of his movies. She also remembered him telling her that Sununu had just given him tickets for a VIP tour.
| ” |
When a commenter on Captain Ed's
site observed that this year's "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee." was the
very first "cowboy" movie Thompson had been in, the Times waved its
magic wand. Here's how that paragraph reads now.
| “ | Thompson
kept her updated on his progress in telephone conversations and over
meals at Washington restaurants, including dinner at Galileo and lunch
at the Monocle, she said. At one of the meals, she recalled, Thompson
told her that Sununu had just given him tickets for a VIP tour of the
White House for a Thompson son and his wife.
| ” |
Yet another commenter noted:
| “ | "...if
the abortion group isn't willing to produce the invoices they paid the
law firm (which will have every [bad word]ing lawyer's name on the
bill), they should go to hell."

For more fun, Jim Gergaghty on NRO has a delightful link to a lefty knob licker quoting the old version.
