Today brings another example of the sort of mistake a blogger might make, but wouldn't make it past the multiple layers of fact-checking employed by the mainstream media. It's from the Washington Post's free daily the Express.
Porter
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English portour, from Middle French porteour, from Late Latin portator, from Latin portare to carry
1 : a person who carries burdens; especially : one employed to carry baggage for patrons at a hotel or transportation terminal
2 : a parlor-car or sleeping-car attendant who waits on passengers and makes up berths
Do you think the Post is trying to say that he's going to be the administration's bag man?

Who can focus on the story with that scary, evil looking fellow in the margin above? I think that's how the editor's missed it.
