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:

Cragg Hines
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.
