Now, it's an ordinary news article. BUT. See that picture of Bush?

Check out the image file name.

Laugh at it from any perspective, be it from a sense of "so true" or simply the audacity of whoever put that there.

Edit: They changed the image file name, but parrhesia has saved a screen capture, which you can see here.

You can bet someone's going to lose their job over this :P

I'd like to know who that is so I could give them a handshake. And a gun to fend off the crazy republicans that'll come after him.

Andrew Weinstein, a spokesman for Netscape, reiterated the fact CNN itself had nothing to do with the slur. He says the Netscape employee responsible has been fired.

"A junior employee at Netscape identified two election photos with image tags that used inappropriate, disparaging terms," Weinstein told WorldNetDaily. "As soon as the situation was discovered, it was immediately corrected, and the employee has been terminated."

"the employee has been terminated."

Terminated?

Sounds a trifle harsh.
