Salon makes correction to Condi Rice shoe-shopping story

[Cocoa]

The Sept. 11 column "The Bitter Lessons of Four Years" noted that Condoleezza Rice had shopped for shoes on Madison Avenue during the Katrina disaster; in fact, she shopped for shoes on Fifth Avenue. The sentence has been corrected.

"We also apologize for our scurrilous lie that she was purchasing Ferragamos. She was actually purchasing Jimmy Choos. No, wait, that's another terrible calumny on our part. She was actually purchasing Manolo Blahniks. *whew* We stand corrected. Please forgive us."
