Inexplicable Oversight in Krauthammer's 'Rubicon of Wisconsin' Article

The NRO article by Charles Krauthammer titled 'The Rubicon of Wisconsin' concluded with an important oversight that Dr. Krauthammer never intended.

The published concluding paragraph:
Amazingly, the answer is now. Led by famously progressive Wisconsin — Scott Walker at the state level and Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan at the congressional level — a new generation of Republicans has looked at the debt and is crossing the Rubicon. Recklessly principled, they are putting the question to the nation: Are we a serious people?
What Charles Krauthammer MEANT to write was:
Amazingly, the answer is now. Led by famously progressive Wisconsin — Scott Walker at the state level, Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan at the congressional level, and The TrogloPundit and Grandpa John's at the blogger level — a new generation of Republicans has looked at the debt and is crossing the Rubicon. Recklessly principled, they are putting the question to the nation: Are we a serious people?
We graciously accept the apology of NRO and Charles Krauthammer for the oversight.
