Mike Huckabee did some mangling in defending his Christmas ad, and Liz Austin Peterson and her editors at the AP didn’t help matters any:

Huckabee said the bookshelf is just a bookshelf and shrugged off the controversy: “I will confess this: If you play the spot backwards it says, ‘Paul is dead. Paul is dead.’” He was joking about the Beatles’ recording of “The White Album” and the urban legend that if a portion of the album is played backwards, the words “Paul is dead” is heard, a reference to the very much alive Paul McCartney.

Get your urban legends, as well as your grammar, straight.
