MoDowd's Dateline Foul-Up

Man. Maureen Dowd, we love you, but the whole false datelines thing brings us down a little.

Basically, an article published on January 9th was datelined in Derry, NH. Except… Dowd was in Jerusalem then, Talking Points Memo reports:

The piece reads as if Dowd was on the scene at Hillary’s victory party, interviewing voters reacting to her win. But it turns out Dowd couldn’t have been at the party at all — instead, she’d already jetted half way around the world to cover the President’s Middle East trip, I’m told.
