Reply #3: story made the WaPo this morning

[MBS]

nothing really new. the story is just a poorly-edited pastiche of an AP modification of the Globe story, but it delighted me because it means that this will definitely now be a topic of inside-the-Beltway snickering. Excellent.:evilgrin:

I did enjoy this take on the editing out of the "Hanford" lines. a nice extra dollop of sarcasm in the wording :evilgrin:
(page A18 of today's hard-copy WaPo; unfortunately this particular phrase doesn't seem to be in the web version) (stuff in parentheses is mine)

Passages from Dole's 2002 speech were on her (dole's--ed) Web site, including this: " I am Mary and John Hanford's daughter.. " While (Brown spokesman) Donnelly says staffers mistakenly lifted Dole's language, some editing was apparently done; Brown was not identified as the daughter of Mary and John Hanford.
