The Anchorage Daily News has a feature called 'Alaska Ear'. This is their response to the photo caption: http://www.adn.com/news/politics/alaska_ear/story/950916.html

"Today I must apologize to Mrs. Palin personally and on behalf of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner for the choice of words used on the bottom of Wednesday's front page regarding her speaking engagement in Hong Kong this week to a group of global investors.

"We used offensive language -- "A broad in Asia" -- above a small photograph of the former governor to direct readers inside the newspaper to a full story of her Hong Kong appearance."

It went on for a few more paragraphs, with Rod, who obviously did not personally insert the offending space, beating himself up. But Ear was laughing too hard to read further."

Speaking of Palin, would anyone like to wager as to the quality of her book? I hope to be pleasantly surprised but I have my doubts about it; the last I knew, she had called her father to check on the final score in a basketball game she had played in.
