Creepy is right.
Interesting info on Tammy Duckworth from Wikipedia:
Duckworth was born in Bangkok, Thailand, to Frank Duckworth and Lamai S., a native of Thailand. She has a brother, Tom. Her family moved around Southeast Asia due to her father’s work with the United Nations and international companies, and she is fluent in both Thai and Indonesian.
The article that was altered doesn’t directly quote her, but where else would that statement come from in that context? And it’s not like Tammy got Indonesia mixed up with Indianapolis or someplace.
Saw this somewhere:
“Kama’aina is the Hawaiian language word for long-term resident of the Hawaiian Islands.” A local, not a tourist, but not necessarily a native.
Hey, maybe Obummer is suffering from Afronesia. That’s a condition where you wash up on a beach in Hawaii, and can’t remember if you drifted there from Africa or Indonesia.
My guess is that they have a sitemeter tracker that shows where their visitors come from. They were able to see this thread in FR and what it was about and so they changed the article.
