...and here's some sauce to go on it.
MSN's Slate chatterbox section shows a couple articles titled "Retract This, Please" of regrettable/obnoxious things that have been said (not including explicit lies, so much as lousy rhetoric) about last week's disasters. Where retractions have been offered, those are included.
Of particular amusement value for me, the "escalating retractions" on Falwell's commentary. Also, let it be noted, they themselves were not immune: the second link includes an entry about something they published. Good for them, owning up to that.
These links will open in new windows:
Retract This, Please, Part 1
Retract This, Please, Part 2
(Either of the links is probably good enough: as long as the links are good anyway, the left-hand column appears to let you move between articles.)
