From Diggs: “I misspoke at a recent event. Talking about Nancy Pelosi’s excessive travel expenses, I included some incorrect information about the specific type of plane she uses and exactly how much taxpayer money she’s been spending. She uses luxury Gulfstream jets, not the converted 757’s, and she racked up $2.1 million in travel costs over two years. As you can see, the facts stand on their own as objectionable to taxpayers, and no malice was intended on my part. But my parents told me that when you screw up, you admit it. I screwed up the numbers, and for that I apologize.”
Thanks Diggs! Now if we could just get this “correction” printed in the Coloradoan!
A million her a million there does not really indicate concern about the unemployed-unless you count bartenders!
Jinger, I’m not sure what there is to “correct.” As Diggs indicates in the apology, our story was correct. He even uses data from our story in his apology.
This would be humorous if it weren’t so discouraging. Yes, Nancy Pelosi spends taxpayer monies for her convenience and in violation of her public trust. And, yes, so does Michael Steele:

Diggs Brown represents Americans, not corrupt party hacks and greedy self-interested idealogues. Meanwhile Bob Moore and the so-called journalists at the Coloradoan can’t see fit to put patriotism ahead of jingoism.
Is it too much to ask that the press place America first for a change?
Arrogance in the three branches of government is a big enough problem that America cannot afford it to spread to the so-called fourth branch. What there is to correct, Mr. Moore, is your attitude.
