No, this isn't a joke. Of all the possible photos available of Joe Negron, the Florida state representative who has replaced Mark Foley as the GOP congressional candidate in the 16th CD, this is the one the Associated Press chose. The photo accompanied the AP's article: FL GOP picks Foley replacement.

Congressmen come and congressmen go. But the Associated Press's liberal bias goes on forever.

Right you are - and it shows with every traitorous word they print. Those institutions cannot die fast enough for me.

I have to tell you though...that what make me just as mad is what I heard on the ABC radio news...

That John Boehner, the House Majority leader said today that he EXPECTS the GOP to LOSE that seat now.

What kind of Majority leader says that...still 5 weeks away??

Wait, you forgot the credit line:

AP wirephoto by Adnan Hajj

Note to Eds: Adnan Hajj is covering the AP's Bias, Slant and Fabrication desks throughout October. Bilal Hussein remains indisposed. You can send get-well wishes to him c/o Terrorist Detention, Abu Ghraib, Anbar, Iraq.

There, I fixed it!

Just in case the AP is shamed into changing the photo accompanying its article, here's how is originally appeared, as saved to the NewsBusters server.
