From tipster Nelsonic, who was "eating at a small restaurant in eastern Iowa while the O'Reilly Factor was playing on a cable TV," comes this Fox faux pas: labeling Mark Foley, the now former congressman embroiled in the page scandal, a Democrat. The screengrab to the right comes courtesy of John Amato, who writes: "The O'Reilly Factor ran it in not one, but two segments and posted it three times."

Now it appears that AP -- which sends wires to thousands of publications across the land -- also mysteriously had Mark Foley's party affiliation as Democratic. The screen grab below is from the Long Island Press... It's since been fixed but no correction appears:
