Dean campaign a "train wreck", candidate unloads own baggage
The Washington Post's homepage had a hilarious "tombstone" this morning, where a picture of the train explosion in Iran seemed to illustrate the lead story, "Dean to End Campaign for White House". Here's a reduced screenshot:
Ooopsie! Fortunately, the article doesn't describe the campaign as a "train wreck", "going down in flames", or even "imploding", but it does say Dean has experienced a "fall from the heights". It also -- very tellingly -- reports that Dean "helped unload baggage from the flight, including at least five cases of root beer acquired on a factory tour in Wisconsin." Boy, am I ever glad I know that.
(Thanks to the Talking Dog for the much better, updated headline. Woof!)
The picture, I s'ppose, is of a horrible train wreck in Iran (dozens dead).
A good headline might be "Dean campaign ends in train wreck!"
