Columbia grads can't spell Colombia

Jack Kemp

The Legal Insurrection website points out, via a hat tip, that CBS television and a number of web sites article references spelled the name of the country as if it were the Ivy League University. The libs couldn't imagine the need to look it up because surely those people in South America must have named their country after the Ivy League university in NY City. Right? Well, no. Do a Google search under "Secret Service Columbia" and watch all the hits that turn up with the misspelling of the country's name.
