Speaking at Penn State University, Sen. Arlen Specter said how proud he was to get the endorsement of the state’s College Republicans.

Ha-ha, everyone chuckled. He meant “College Democrats,” obviously.

Eh, except that they hadn’t endorsed him.

Democrats, Republicans, endorsed, not endorsed — look, don’t bother Senator Specter with the details. The important thing is that he wants to keep his job, and he’ll join whatever party he has to in order to keep it.
