Hines issues a correction, retreats to France
The Chronicle's Coven-obsessed D.C. columnist issued a correction today for that embarrassing gaffe from last week's column:
My Wednesday column about the "nuclear option" contained the wrong supermajority normally required in the Senate to cut off debate. A three-fifths vote is required. I made an initial error, which was compounded by an editing error.
Neither the D.C. columnist nor his editors know the filibuster rule? That seems less than ideal.
What a great time to send Cragg Hines to France to report on European constitutionalism. Maybe he'll have better luck with it.
