http://slate.com/id/2108966/ Weirdness: Slate asks its contributors who they intend to vote for; in reponse, Christopher Hitchens says many garbled things, including “I do think … that Kerry should get his worst private nightmare and have to report for duty.” Slate interprets this as a vote for Kerry, but when it turns out that Hitchens did not intend his message to be construed as support for Kerry or Bush, Slate apologises and blames an editing error!

(Also, Hitchens’s assumption that declaring his support for one or the other constitutes an “endorsement” demonstrates quite some hubris: as Jacob Weisberg explains, the purpose of the exercise was to: (a) replace an official endorsement by the magazine and (b) to “emphasize the distinction between opinion and bias.”) 03:54
