AN EMBARRASSING TIME AT THE TIMES

The St. Petersburg Times recently overhauled it's system for processing stories, and it apparantly caused an embarrassing glitch which appeared for a time on it's Web site. What you see above (courtesy of Wonkette) is the result of an error which occured while attempting to process the syndicated column of satirist Andy Borowitz. Someone apparantly labeled it to appear as a straight news story.

Times political columnist Adam C. Smith noted on the newspaper's political blog The Buzz:

"Rove spoke to Online City Editor Kevin McGeever, and was exceptionally gracious. He thought it was funny and noted that he'd been accused of being Satan, but never actually working with Beelzebub. He wanted a copy of the online story for himself."
