Avant News: Talking Points Delivery Mix-up Shakes American Right Wing.
(Note this was posted in the DU Lounge...)

A mix-up in the labeling of conservative talking points transmitted by the Bush administration yesterday reportedly led to widespread confusion among the extensive network of radio, television and internet commentators used to disseminate the White House's message. According to a senior White House official ultimately responsible for the daily talking points distribution, the incident occurred when an attractive, buxom, unpaid intern known only as "Candee" mistakenly mislabeled the memo titled Iraq Talking Points with the heading U.S. Domestic Talking Points, and vice versa.

"Candee was just trying to do her job as best she could," said the senior White House official. "Unfortunately, that wasn't very well. She sure is easy on the eyes, though."

According to the senior White House official, who asked that he be referred to only by his code name, "Andrew Card", distribution of White House talking points is a routine procedure that generally takes place every morning between five and six a.m., before most right-wing radio and television commentators launch their morning broadcasts and government officials hold their first breakfast meetings with reporters.
