Post Accidentally Kills/Retires Rehnquist

In one of those embarrassing gaffes that happen from time-to-time, the Washington Post yesterday accidentally moved its “William Rehnquist Dies/Retires” package over its RSS feeds.

While the stories themselves didn’t show up and weren’t posted, two stories and their ledes were readable by RSS subscribers. The headline on one article by Charles Lane read, “William Rehnquist Retires/Dies” and led with an anecdote from his days in grade school, another read “Rehnquist: A Justice’s Journey,” and a third was a round-up of key Rehnquist decisions.

Guess someone over at Washingtonpost.com is still learning about this new-fangled “really simple syndication” stuff.

Thanks to Philly blog Fables of the Reconstruction for the a screenshot.
