Correction of the Day

From the WaPo:

A Feb. 6 article quoted James G. Watt, interior secretary under President Ronald Reagan, as telling Congress in 1981: "After the last tree is felled, Christ will come back." Although that statement has been widely attributed to Watt, there is no historical record that he made it.

The Watt comment continues to be preached as gospel (see Bill Moyers), but it never happened. But why let the truth get in the way of slandering an evil, intolerant Republican.
