I’m so glad I’m not the only one.
Because if it were just me confusing the two young blonde women with the same given name who ran DHEC back-to-back, I’m sure I’d be accused of sexism or ageism blondeism or just being an all-around idiot. I’d be immediately ordered to show my papers and ‘check my privilege.’
But I’m not alone!
Today, The State ran a picture of Catherine Templeton and said it was Catherine Heigel.
That’s OK, folks. Perfectly understandable.
And let’s not even get into the fact that there’s a third one, Katherine Heigl, who is way more famous than either of these….
Wow, y’all are NOT going to believe this. This stupid, goofball error I made fun of this morning — which none of y’all even thought worth commenting on — has now made NEWS:
To her, this embarrassing little moment in a copyeditor’s life is deliberate! A conspiracy! A hatchet job! A torpedo to her inevitability! Before this, she had the election sewn up, but now a 4-pica cut has DONE HER IN!
I read of this while trying to force myself to get through the SOTU. Just absurdity piled on absurdity…
I couldn’t read past the first graf or so before hitting the Charleston paper’s pay wall. So I didn’t get to the part where she said she was just kidding.
It’s in there, right?
Her candidacy is such a disappointment.
I think I know what bothers you.
She’s just trying SO hard not to sound like anyone who could possibly have passed a bar exam…
