Eh, PowerLine points this out:

The emotional highpoint of last night’s event came near the end when Bush introduced the parents of a U.S. Marine from Texas, Sgt. Byron Norwood, who was killed in the assault on Fallujah, Iraq. As Norwood’s mother tearfully hugged another woman in the gallery, the assembled senators and representatives responded with a sustained ovation, and Bush’s face appeared creased with emotion.

But later in the article, there is this:

On foreign policy, Bush put on display what he considers two of his biggest achievements in the form of a pair of women, one from Afghanistan and one from Iraq, who voted in democratic elections in their home countries over the past few months. Sitting in the gallery next to Laura Bush, the two women were greeted by prolonged applause.

The woman had the most amazingly flattering suit on. This guy didn’t notice it was the same woman? How many black and white and pink checkered suited women with dye stained fingers were there sitting next to the First Lady, I wonder?

Maybe Staff writer Glenn Kessler, contributing to this report, just shoved a bit in and didn’t reconcile it with the rest of the article. Hmmm? Can’t even fact-check within the very same page you’re working on, eh? Too hard, even that? Or does the blame lie with Michael A. Fletcher or Peter Baker, who got top billing on it?
