The White House pulled out all the stops in preparation for President Obamas first state dinner on Tuesday night, hiring a new florist, selecting a renowned guest chef and even inviting a number of high-profile musicians to perform.
But one person the White House apparently neglected to hire was a spell checker.
The special dinner menu a lavish mélange of Indian and American favorites as well as several excellent wines was rife with typos.

Maybe the menu should have been written in Arabic.
They are worse than me.
At least I have an excuse.
Free typing or is it Free-typing.
I wonder how much the person responsible for this makes a year?
Definitely overpaid.
“hiring a new florist, selecting a renowned guest chef and even inviting a number of high-profile musicians to perform.”
Well, I guess we can eat cake.
I’m amazed the NY Times would even publish an article like this.
After all, President Zero (and by connection, his staff) are all-seeing, all-knowing and nothing less than perfect.
At the risk of wanting to sound like I’m giving any credit to the White House, I have seen the word “chickpeas” spelled “chick peas”.
Not often - but I have seen it.
Is the White House spell checker a green job, or am I a racist for asking?
Eat more chikin’
How goshe!
whut you talkin’ ‘bout Willis?
The NYT spends its time correcting spelling, but seems to miss the boat on Van Jones, Acorn, and Climategate.
Go figure
I think you forgot the sarcasm tag. It should be ‘gauche’ from French language.
Or Hindi...
These people have no class.
What I liked was the video with the article showing Obama toasting the Indian PM....he had to read the toast...he couldn’t even memorize that small statement...and it appeared he toasted with water...and what was with that napkin he used to hold the glass? Odd.

Actually, I’m not surprised the wines were spelled wrong, when you’re used to MD 20/20, Thunderbird & Funky Cold Medina, that hoity toity stuff is too hard to spell.
Like a CHEAP Chinese restaurant menu....there are ALWAYS many misspellings.
They hired a BLACK CHEF of course.
Well, the White House web page has been repeatedly filled with spelling errors, too. They don’t even know how to spell Barack, apparently.
We really hit the trifecta, folks.
