Not exactly a typo

The report of this faux pas comes from Colorado Confidential:

It's a press guy's worst nightmare — sending out a draft news release with some choice personal comments in the body.

Now, a staffer in Sen. Wayne Allard's office is wearing some serious egg on his face after dissing first responders in a release that was supposed to ballyhoo his boss's resolution to declare a national day of recognition for police, firefighters, and rescue personnel.

"First responders in Colorado have recently provided critical services in the face of blizzards and tornados," added Allard. "Since I don't think first responders have really done anything significant in comparison to their counterparts who have dealt with real natural disasters, I have no idea what else to say here..."

A corrected release and an apology were sent out 19 minutes after the mistake was discovered.
