Howard Kurtz has quite a correction today! It seems that Howie mistakenly believed he was interviewing a Congressman, when in fact he was speaking to the Congressman's spokesperson. Weirder: Kurtz waited more than a month to correct the story. [Updated]
In late November, Kurtz wrote a story in The Daily Beast about "tough-talking" Republican Rep. Darrell Issa. The story was based on what Kurtz thought was a phone interview with Issa. But it turns out that, no, Kurtz had actually been speaking to Issa's spokesman, Kurt Bardella, the entire time. Hate when that happens! Today, Kurtz writes:
On Nov. 29, after my story ran on The Daily Beast, I got a note from Bardella saying there had been "a little confusion" and "it wasn't the congressman you spoke with, it was me speaking in his capacity as his spokesman."

Possibly because it was embarrassing.
I wonder what else Howie hasn’t told us.
Howie is the kind of guy who knows lots of embarrassing stuff. But he won’t tell it unless he thinks it’s embarrassing to the GOP.
Incompetence — and, he’s a partisan media shill. Thanks Nachum.
Because it makes him look really STUPID!!!!.....
