I also received this e-mail this afternoon. It’s subject line refers to an erroneous report on the New York Times website a few weeks ago that I blasted the Palin choice when it was announced and said I wouldn’t vote for McCain because of it. They were attributing a reader I was quoting to me. Keith Olbermann repeated it without checking.

Sent: Mon 9/29/2008 5:23 PM To: Kathryn Lopez Subject: You said you wouldn’t vote for McCain Because he chose Palin. Now you say you want McCain to win. Honesty? I printed your early article to remind me of your jealous, critical, stupid and dishonest characteristics which you have kept well hidden. I say Free KLo and stop hiding your real intent to bring McCain down, bring our country down, and bring Palin down, now twice. No, 3 times since you posted Kathleen’s rogue article. Shame on you for your dishonesty. Please reprint your article where you said you would not vote for McCain because he chose Palin. That would be honesty. And Good Luck has a meaning of it’s own, however unprintable. So double Good luck to you, traitor.
