Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's press shop (affectionately termed the 'War Room') made a little goof in sending out an advisory about an event to be held tomorrow highlighting how local first responders are affected by the Iraq war.
The event will star Sen. Debbie Stabenow and a freshman Democrat from Montana.
The Reid press release mistakenly says Sen. John Tester (D-Mt.) will attend the press conference. Whoops! That would be Jon Tester, whose win in November over Republican Sen. Conrad Burns helped secure Democratic control of the Senate. So far, no correction has been issued. It's tough to be a freshman.
Here's a partial advisory for the 10:30 a.m. event:
