If all you know about New Jersey is what you’ve seen on The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire… well, you wouldn’t be far off from the real thing. So when you see this classic correction in The Star-Ledger, it’s pretty clear this is likely the most “New Jersey” correction ever. The paper posted a profile of Chris Christie spokesman known “for his profanity-laced tirades about stories he deems unflattering or unfair to Christie,” and provided some examples of such.

For example, The Star-Ledger reported, in one of the “BridgeGate” e-mails, he called Port Authority executive director Patrick Foye a “piece of crap.” But that’s where this correction came in. This hilarious, only-in-New Jersey correction.
Quote:

An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated Drewniak referred to the Port Authority’s executive director as a “piece of crap.” While Drewniak did call him a “piece of excrement,” it was David Wildstein who referred to the executive director as a “piece of crap.”

How’s that for a correction? Not only the need to clarify the exact language of what kind of… human body waste Foye was referred to as, but the fact that they apparently confused the one guy who called him a piece of crap with the OTHER guy who called him a piece of crap.

Classic Jersey. http://www.mediaite.com/online/%e2%80%98piece-of-excrement%e2%80%99-nj
