As Long As They Spell Your Name Right

The hacks in the MSNBC transcription department are as dense as the on-air talent. They can't even get the name of the evil one right:

David Brock, let me ask you the toughest question, because I think it gets to the heart of everything. Do you believe that she believed Bill Clinton�s denials from January of 1998 all the way through mid-august of 1998 about his noninvolvement with Monica Lewinsky? Do you believe she�s telling the truth now in this book?

DAVID BROCK, AUTHOR, �THE SEDUCTION OF HILLARY RODHAM�: Yes, I do. Would you like to know why? I�m reading part of the book today, and this is a very chilling story of the demonization of these people, and she was living with lies, phony stories, false scandals day in and day out.

For example, in this book we learn how much of an impact the �Wall Street Journal� editorial pages attacks had on the tragedy of Vince Foster committing suicide, her close friend. She lived with that. She lived with Roger Ales, then the chairman of CNBC, talking about the Clintons as possible murderers. So absolutely, she had no reason not to believe.

Ouch.

Or maybe they think the evil one was hiding State Department papers in Tim Russert's hollowed-out pumpkinhead.
