In James Ridgeway's March 15 Mondo Washington column, a picture of Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle ran with an accompanying caption crediting the quote "This is not a dictatorship" to Daschle. In fact, it was Representative Dick "Blinky" Gephardt who coined the phrase. Daschle coined the phrase "Show us your tits!"

Matt Coker reported in the March 15 Hello, Cleveland! that a shrine to late saxman Lee Allen at the recent Blasters show in Santa Ana included an unopened bottle of Johnnie Walker Red. An alcoholic who stood next to Coker during the concert maintains it was Johnnie Walker Black.

We apologize for intimating that Senator Tom Daschle coined the phrase "Show us your tits!" This is ridiculous and a disservice to Massachusetts Senator Henry Cabot Lodge (1850-1924), who is traditionally credited with creating the phrase.
