so much for CNN and error checking

 CNN apologized Tuesday for mistakenly promoting a story on the search for
Osama bin Laden with the headline "Where's Obama?" A spokesman
for Illinois Sen. Barack Obama said the apology was accepted.

The blunder came Monday evening on Wolf Blitzer's news show "The
Situation Room." Both Soledad O'Brien and Blitzer offered separate
apologies during CNN's morning show Tuesday.

CNN called it a "bad typographical error" by its graphics department.

"We want to apologize for that bad typo," Blitzer said. "We
also want to apologize personally to Sen. Barack Obama. I'm going to be
making a call to him later this morning to offer my personal apology."

Tommy Vieto, Obama's press secretary, said he appreciated the bloggers and
activists who brought the error to light so quickly and helped make sure it
was corrected.

"Though I'd note that the `s' and `b' keys aren't all that close to
each other, I assume it was just an unfortunate mistake, and don't think
there was any truly malicious intent," Vieto said.
