Oops. My bad. Even assholes deserve to have people get their names right.
Every newspaper should run this as their corrections style.

Clarification: On Saturday, we incorrectly referred to an asshole as another asshole. We do NOT regret the error.

This has the Sen. Tuberville seal of approval.
"We addressed it as a team," Oats said. "As soon as I brought it up to them, they immediately understood how it could be interpreted. We all felt awful about it. They explained to me, it's like when TSA checks you before you get on a plane. Now Brandon is cleared for takeoff. We as the adults in the room should have been more sensitive to how it could have been interpreted. I dropped the ball. We've addressed it. I can assure you it won't happen again."
Oh, for fork's sake.
I'm on record saying Nate Oats has done a mean Sideshow Bob and the rakes routine. But the "TSA" blurb divorced from the rest of paragraph doesn't provide context.
