Two days after its been all over the 'net, the Pioneer Press picks up an AP story reporting on the now famous photo from Iraq rebuking John Kerry. Guard to Kerry: "Halp- stuck n Irak":
A group of Minnesota National Guard soldiers in Iraq has made a comically misspelled sign mocking Sen. John Kerry's recent comments about the education level of troops, and their handiwork is getting plenty of attention.
The Massachusetts Democrat told a group of college students this week that people who don't study and do their homework were likely to "get stuck in Iraq." Kerry has since apologized, saying he botched a joke meant to be about President Bush.
The photo shows eight soldiers holding a white sign with heavy blue letters spelling out, "Halp us Jon Carry - We R stuck hear n Irak."
The photo has appeared in newspapers and on television newscasts and Web sites.
Now I'm not a graduate of one of them fancy J-schools or anything, but common sense would seem to indicate that you would want to have the picture in question accompany the story, something that the Pioneer Press web site does not do.
