Hat tip, Hot Air. A CNN Fruedian slip. Insert comic response in the comments.
UPDATE: CNN APOLOGIZES
CNN called it a "bad typographical error" by its graphics department.
"We want to apologize for that bad typo," Blitzer said. "We also want to apologize personally to Sen. Barack Obama. I'm going to be making a call to him later this morning to offer my personal apology."
Tommy Vieto, Obama's press secretary, said he appreciated the bloggers and activists who brought the error to light so quickly and helped make sure it was corrected.
"Though I'd
note that the `s' and `b' keys aren't all that close to each other, I
assume it was just an unfortunate mistake, and don't think there was
any truly malicious intent," Vieto said.
Good point. The s and b keys have three keys between them, a close key typo should've been Oaama or Odama. It does seems unlikely that someone in the CNN graphics department would intentionly type Obama instead of Osama, but the similarity of the two names must've been on the mind of the graphics person.
Osama, Obama, Obama, Osama, let's call the whole thing off!
Astute Bloggers calls it a sign of idol worship.
"An absolute classic. CNN mistakenly puts up a graphic over a picture of Osama bin Laden saying "Where Obama?" It's like when you're just so smitten with a guy and you can't help but writing his name all over your history notebook with little hearts."
Heh.
