On Monday I highlighted how Harris, quite anxious to push the GOP's favorite anti-Obama talking points in Politico, ignored the age-old newsroom rule that it takes three to make a trend. Instead, he cut corners and announced that because he found two example of insider pundits referring to President Obama as “Star Trek's” Mr. Spock, that the negative narrative was “gaining momentum.”

Well what do you know, the AP, perhaps seeing the jam Harris was in, has jumped in and added its voice (Obama is just like Mr. Spock!) to officially confirm the blessed trend.

Here's the AP story. Warning: It's beyond awful. A sample:

Barack Obama is Washington's Mr. Spock, the chief science officer for the ship of state.

Told you so.
