Following Saturday’s announcement by President Obama that he had selected Brooklyn prosecutor Loretta Lynch to be the next U.S. attorney general, multiple websites began delving into her legal background looking for insight into how she might administer the law.

According to Media Matters, while most reporters correctly reported on the career of the African-American Loretta E. Lynch, several conservative websites misidentified the nominee as Loretta M. Lynch, a white California-based attorney who provided legal advice to the Clintons during the Whitewater investigation.

There are plenty of real reasons to attack Obama but as usual, right-wingers always seem to go off on a birther style wild goose chase.
 
Hey, if you want Congressional research staffs to do more than a quick five minute google search about a topic before preparing their member's talking points about it, you're going to need to pay them more than $200,000/year. That means raising taxes.

Why is it that raising taxes is the first answer for everything for you liberals? :mad:
 
When I first heard on the radio that he nominated Loretta Lynch, my first thought was to the white Loretta Lynch who was in charge of the PUC here in California. When I saw here picture, I was like, "WTF, that was some tan she got there!"
 
In the article, posted on Saturday, Huston went on to state the nominee no only served as one of the Clintons’ Whitewater defense attorneys but also as a “campaign aide.” Houston correctly attributed the defense of Haitian immigrant Abner Louima in 1997 to the president’s nominee.

If an article is going to criticize others for their misattributions, it probably wouldn't hurt if they proofread their own work to avoid not getting people's names correct. Huston or Houston?
 
I fail to see the big deal. The woman who the nominee was mistaken with had the same name, was an attorney and had political connections to the Democratic Party and its previous administration.
Easy and understandable mistake to make. It's not like they confused her with Loretta Lynch the band or something...
