What was the Miami Herald thinking?
Page 2 staff
What the heck was the Miami Herald thinking when it implied that jockey Jose Santos cheated during the Kentucky Derby, based only on an indistinguishable blur in a photograph?
Why can't everyone keep it simple and stick to blood doping?
A. "We stand by our story and our most reliable fact-checker, Jayson Blair."
B. "Either he cheated, or he was carrying a tiny little vampire."
C. "We're also running a story on a horse who claims a stripper ordered $1,000 of room service from the nag's hotel room."
D. "Plus, that strange brown thing he's riding looks suspiciously like a rocket car."
E. "We're still a little addled around here from counting all those hanging chads a few years ago."
F. "And look! In his right hand there -- isn't he holding the Lindbergh baby?"
