Mea culpa. In yesterday’s column I referred to my dad as the only delegate at the 1980 Republican National Convention to vote against George H.W. Bush for vice president. Not true, he informed me; he was the first to announce he was going to do so, and the only delegate from his state to do it.
After this successful (albeit unintentional) foray into mythmaking, I’m now considering applying for work at the New York Times and the Weekly Standard.
