THE COLUMBIA JOURNALISM REVIEW’S CAMPAIGN BLOG has picked up on the absurd Scott Lindlaw AP story regarding Bush and NASCAR that I mention below. Excerpt: “Evidently if you send Lindlaw to a NASCAR race, instead of journalism you get armchair psychoanalysis and a history lesson. We can’t wait to see how he covers the NCAA tournament.”

I thought the story was absurd, and I’m glad to see that professionals agree. But I think we’ll see a lot more of this as the election nears.
