Still hasn't been corrected. I think the AFP is trying to pass this off as "R" meaning (on the right) in the photo. But it is misleading. Like someone would mistakenly think the woman was named Eliot?

Well he’s not a House member like Gary Condit, so they can’t put (Rep) next to his name. Give AFP a break, they don’t have much to work with here!

Or that the person on the right is the wife?

There's nothing inaccurate about this.

The (R) means Retard.

Well, isn’t this special?

The only time the press even mentions his party.... they get it wrong.

No wonder they are called presstitues.

This character on Scrubs is named Elliot:

Your Little Green Footballs link does not work. Can you give the correct one?

Some AP dweeb trying to be cute. Don’t they have bosses? Oh yeah, the bosses just winked and nodded, for they have an agenda to be maintained.

None of the links seem to work for me. What is AFP? (Sorry if that’s a dumb question.)

The style-book probably calls for a lower case “r”, not the upper case.

The (R) means "right."

Without it, the French wouldn't be able to tell which one is Eliot and which one is the wife.

Everyone knows the Gov.

Seems like his wife’s name (L) is the more appropropriate designation Are we really that likely to confuse the two.? really?

But if they’re French should they put (D) for droit, if he’s on the right?

Hillarious.

CNN tonight is desperately holding onto the Spitzer story trying to avoid the Obama/Rev. Wright racist landmines going off all around them.

Must be Christmas Eve in the trenches of 1917 somewhere.

Since it futher says:

New York Governor Eliot Spitzer (R) holds a news conference in New York City with his wife Silda by his side, on March 10. Spitzer came under mounting pressure to resign Tuesday, a day after the Democrat crusader once known as the "Sheriff of Wall Street" was linked to a prostitution ring.

I think they meant Republican, since there would be no reason to point out his position in the picture unless someone could or would mistake which one was the wife.
