    New York Times Becomes 'Paper of Suckered,' Prints Phony Letter

    Posted:
    12/23/08
    Instead of "Paper of Record?" Too much of a reach?

    The New York Times published a phony letter from a very famous mayor, slamming Caroline Kennedy's stealth Senate bid:
    Dear New York Times,

    how can Caroline Kennedy become a US Senator? She pals around with pals of domestic terrorists, and, goshdarnit, she's not even from the real America...
    Sorry, wrong one. Here it is:
    Caroline Kennedy running nine-eleven 9/11...
    Damn, sorry, I've got it here somewhere:
    I declare these cheeseburgers DELICIOUS! But not Caroline Kennedy's Senate bid...
    OK, it was actually the mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoë. Well, it was not the mayor of Paris. Yes, Sarah, Paris is a city, not a country.

    Apparently, the NYT editorial staff weren't tipped off by the fact that the mayor was so incensed by Kennedy's bid, he said that he "wanted (their) fries back!"

    The Times printed a retraction. At least, I think it did. I haven't been able to get ahold of them to see if they really wrote it.
