"It's a former president, Tom. What do you say — he's not delicious?"

Jesse Walker | April 17, 2003

This month CNN accidentally posted some of its prewritten obituaries to the Web, letting us see how it plans to cover the deaths of Dick Cheney, Fidel Castro, and other notables. The Smoking Gun captured some screenshots before CNN discovered its error and took down the obits.

One disappointment: The website's tribute to Jerry Ford does not appear to include the line, "Tragedy today, as former president Gerald Ford was eaten by wolves." ("Just covering our bases, Tom. You never know.")
