Here’s the typo of the day…
Personally, I have not followed the Sarah Palin emails nonstory, but my attention was grabbed when I saw the blurb under the headline on this Slate story:

Yep, that’s what they did to ol’ Crivella West — they “retailated” her… pinned the tail right back on her.

OK, so it’s not as funny that way. But I still smiled at it.
