Yesterday, Raleigh News & Observer blog contributor jbfrank, who from all indications is also RN&O reporter John Frank, assured readers that North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue was joking when she suggested that “I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years” at a Rotary Club luncheon in Cary. That's what his headline said: “Perdue jokes about suspending Congressional elections for two years.” There were no quote marks around “jokes.” The headline echoed what the Governor's apparatchiks were saying.
