Capitol Fax catches Washington Post error

You know how moderate U.S. Senate  candidate Mark Kirk supposedly asked Sarah Palin for an endorsement. Rick Miller discovered it never happened:

I probably should’ve known better than to believe the Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza yesterday when he wrote…

Illinois Rep. Mark Kirk penned a memo to Republican poobah Fred Malek hoping to secure an endorsement from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for his Senate candidacy, according to a copy of the memo obtained by the Fix.

If Cillizza really did see the memo, as he claimed, then he would’ve known that nowhere in that memo does Congressman Kirk explicitly ask for an endorsement. How do I know this? Because I now have the memo…

Miller thinks Kirk was still pandering, but he never asked for Palin’s endorsement. The result?

WaPo’s Cillizza is now on my “always check him out first” list.

Ouch.
