The Craptactularization of the Yahooized Associated Press

IsThisAllThey'veGot?

Above is the teaser that was screaming at me when I went to check my Yahoo Mail late this afternoon

And it sure does suggest that Obama is doomed.

But then when you go and read the actual story it turns out that an aunt from Obama's father's side of the family that he doesn't know well is living in the United States as 'gasp!' an illegal immigrant.

But that's not the half of it - she's been donating money to the Mr Obama's campaign!

For months!!

In monthly installments!!!

Isn't that obscene?

An illegal alien living in a housing project in Boston contributing money to a frontrunning presidential Manchurian candidate.

And how much money, exactly, you might be asking yourself?

Why the princely, evil sum of $260 dollars.

And the last monthly installment?

Well, it was five dollars.

Five freakin' dollars.

You got that?

Sheesh.

Now, it's not the story, which has also been picked up the the Canadian Press, that's really buggin' me. It's the teaser headline, captured by screen shot above, that is completely irresponsible in my opinion.
Regardless, one can only wonder if this will get wingnut-wurlitzered enough to make it into Jon Swift's next edition of 'Great Moments In Election Year Blogging'.
Update: Sunday afternoon.....AP attempts a climb-down.....
