Haniffa's arithmetic?
by Shaker Srinivasan on Jul 27, 2006 09:49 AM

>>The bill... passed with 359 voting in favor to 68 >>against...
>>Reflecting that bias, 219 Republicans voted in favor >>of the bill and just nine against; on the other side >>of the aisle, 58 Democrats voted in favour of the >>bill and a thumping 140 against (an Independent >>Congressman voted in favour).
219+58+1=359?
9+140=68?
I'd have let that pass as a typo, but for the "Reflecting that bias", and the "thumping", which was also prominently displayed in the headlines. Is it wishful thinking on the part of Haniffa?
