For a Thursday funny, the grown-ups at CNN must have been napping when they allowed a half informed intern to type up their screen graphic on Wednesday. As the CNN “Sky View” camera roamed the audience during the Republican Convention the screen graphic helpfully informed the viewer that McCain “Officially wins Democratic Nomination.”

Psst, CNN. It’s McCain wins the Republican nomination. Just tryin’ to help ya out, there.
