Oops. The New York Times was forced to issue an embarassing correction to a story published yesterday on the Foley scandal:

An article yesterday about more revelations in the scandal involving Mark Foley, who resigned from the House of Representatives after being confronted with sexually explicit e-mail he had sent to Congressional pages, misstated the action taken by President Bill Clinton on behalf of former Representative Mel Reynolds, who also was involved in a sex scandal while in Congress. Mr. Clinton commuted Mr. Reynolds’s sentence for bank fraud; he did not pardon him for corruption and having sex with an underage campaign worker.
