Fun with ledes
There seems to be some sentiment around the intartubes that this might be the worst lede ever:
John McCain embraces and expels Washington like an accordion player belting out a song.
Squeeze in and he touts his vast knowledge of the capital city. Draw out and he casts himself a reformer bent on changing its ways.
Well ... at least they didn't call him a banjo player. Otherwise, yeah, it's pretty much in the top five worst AP ledes of all time.
Gotta run! Sean Hannity is interviewing Sarah "the American people are getting down to the facts" Palin!
