This is quite possibly the worst quotation I have ever seen in a news publication:
Hours before Wednesday’s aerial sighting, hikers found cash and identification cards with Fossett’s name.
“We’re not certain that it belongs to Steve Fossett, but it certainly has his name on the I.D.” said Mammoth Lakes Police Chief Randy Schienle.
It’s an open question whether the reporter or the police chief is more to blame for this asininity. Gen. Turgidson couldn’t have done better.
