humorous AP typo
[McCain's] top contenders are said to include Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Less traditional choices mentioned include former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, an abortion-rights supporter, and Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential prick in 2000 who now is an independent.

Re: humorous AP typo
Hard to accidentally hit "r" while typing "pick." I wonder how this journalist really feels.

I dont say that there is no God. I'm not an atheist because I find atheism to be a mirror of the certainty of religion and I don't like certainty about the next world because we can't know. What I say, what I say is "I don't know."

It is possible it was a typo. If he was reading what he was typing, he had just typed the word presidential, the pr could have resulted from that.

Re: humorous AP typo
The guy might have typed it in as a joke, then got a phone call and forgot to change it.
Aw, he's no fun, he fell right over.
Unless you become as little children, there's no way you will believe this crap.
