At least one political consultant was chuckling over the weekend about the Los Angeles Times using a photo of Assemblyman Hector de la Torre when the paper meant to endorse Dave Jones. "It is understandable." the consultant emails. "They don't look that different, just the fact that [de la Torre) is about a foot and a half taller and Latino, but other than that..." The gaffe was still up this morning.
