What's wrong with this picture?
Look closely....very closely...at the caption to the right. (click to enlarge)
The MSNBC website misidentified a Republican Senator from Louisiana on Friday as a Democrat. The erroneously captioned photo was posted with a news story about Senator David Vitter, who outed himself on Tuesday as a client of the so-called DC Madam, Deborah Palfrey.

"Sen. David Vitter, D-La., may not be Bill Clinton, but he may wish his wife was Hillary Clinton," reads the MSNBC caption.
Let's give them the benefit of the doubt. Honest mistake, right?
The original caption accompanying the AP photograph that MSNBC attached to the story rightfully identified Vitter as a Republican.
Wrong. Tsk tsk tsk. Accuracy in reporting is everything, isn't it? Just ask Fixed News.

Another example of 'you can't believe everything you read.' Unless, of course, it's Bush popularity numbers. Yesss!

Tucker Carlson did the same thing on his show. It isn't an accident.
