Surprise: Time Magazine Noted Non-Candidate Huckabee's "Lincoln Founded The Republican Party" Gaffe In 2008; Refuses To Note Obama's Exact-Same Gaffe In Joint Session

It's almost as if they have a rooting interest.

Actually, Huckabee's error was noted by one Jay Carney. That must explain it, then: The only guy in the media capable of doing a quick Wikipedia search is now in the Obama Administration, so lucky him.

PBS goes the rest of the media one better -- they actually delete Obama's error from the "transcript" of the speech entirely.

It's pretty easy to appear to be a good student when a doting teacher corrects your errors for you, and gives you nothing but gold stars.

Did Lincoln Sort of Found the GOP? Check out Tom Maguire's update, noting Lincoln's co-founding of the Illinois GOP party.

Of course, if he can be said to have founded the party, Time Magazine owes Mike Huckabee a very belated apology.
