Progressive Accountability Holds Me Accountable

Progressive Accountability sends along this broadside.

CLAIM - Marc Ambinder Claims He Has Written a Haiku

FACT - A Haiku is 5-7-5, Ambinder dangerously misleads the American people by writing a "Haiku" that is 6-7-5.

Statement - "With only five days until the election this misuse of Japanese poetry could unravel the very fabric of American democracy.  We immediately demand that the first line be amended to "Joe's with us today" to comply with the use of syllables that the American people deserve and expect from The Atlantic."

They're absolutely right. How embarrassing for me. It's been corrected. Ok, blame Jake Tapper. He started the political haiku stuff. Fine, fine, I'll take responsibility.
