Sending letters soliciting donations is certainly a repetitive task. Checking the addresses may, however, avoid you some nasty mishaps. Thankfully this one is common to both parties, so it's more of a joke than anything else.
The McCain campaign sent a letter soliciting funds to the Russian envoy to the UN. Of course, this is immediately plastered across the media spectrum as if computer mistakes didn't occur. Barack Obama and Joe Biden, however, solicit funds from foreigners with equal gusto.
Oksana Polischuk, an ITAR-TASS correspondent in New York, received letters from Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and Joe Biden asking for funds. This, however, isn't as broadly reported, confined to russian-language media. Taking a computer mistake and blowing it into a big news story makes for a very boring news bulletin. Not reporting that the other side makes the same mistake justifies the "Obama media love-fest" stereotype.
Come on!
