Heh. Obvious tweet is obvious — unless you’re “real journalist” Suzi Parker.
The Washington Post tweeted a correction this afternoon after the ever-dependable Twitterverse pointed out that Parker’s Palin Derangement Syndrome gums up the gears of her satire-detector.
Best tweet of the day. RT @washingtonpost

@washingtonpost @suziparker Better correction: Sorry our journalistic ethics are overshadowed by our hatred for Sarah Palin

The @SheThePeople tweet is still up, with no correction on that feed.

But WaPo deleted the evidence of an earlier tweet announcing Suzi Parker’s big scoop.

Sweet! Can we play against Suzi Parker? We hear she can’t see satire from her house.
Last word goes to Sarah Palin:

A @washingtonpost writer once promised not to write about me for a month. That was a good month for me. #idiotmedia
