This morning, Fox & Friends reported that Michael Steele, chairman of the Republican National Committee, responded to President Obama's call for a three-year freeze on non-national security discretionary spending by stating, “Given Washington Democrats' unprecedented spending binge, this is like announcing you're going on a diet after winning a pie-eating contest.”

Unfortunately for Fox & Friends, RNC Chairman Michael Steele didn't give that quote - it was Michael Steel, House minority leader John Boehner's spokesperson, as numerous media outlets have reported.

Following a series of similarly embarrassing errors last year, Fox News issued a memo calling for a “zero tolerance” policy for mistakes. We're still waiting for them to actually implement it.
