Fox News has delivered a grave insult to presidential nominee John McCain: the conservative cable network has labeled the Arizona Republican a Democrat.

Jed Lewison caught the mistake Tuesday.

Fox News has been reliably boosting McCain's foundering presidential bid throughout the campaign, but the latest slight, while probably a copy editing error, could be more evidence of the network preparing to turn on its nominee. The slip-up follows a segment Tuesday in which anchor Shepard Smith became so incensed with McCain surrogate "Joe the Plumber" he was forced to issue an on-air disclaimer correcting Joe's false attacks on Obama.

The network has a history of mislabeling politicians' political parties, typically Republicans who are under investigations or being accused of wrongdoing.

4. If I remember correctly even Ted Kennedy thought that

McCain should switch to Democrat. I know several Republicans who think that McCain is more like a Democrat than a Republican because he is too liberal.

7. Well, there you have it. It's the "Z" for Zorro moment. He's toast.

That's Fox's official demarcation for a politician who is "dead to them".
