Inexcusable

Speaking of dropping the Bush quote, this morning's SF Chron Oscar wrapup very strangely elides Sean Penn's WMD quip:

'"If there's one thing that actors know, it's that there's no such thing as best in acting," Penn said[.]'

That first comma in the Chron's quote is a clear elision. Anyone who watched the damn show couldn't miss it. Here's a Reuter's quote just in case you missed it:

'"If there's one thing that actors know, other than that there weren't any WMDs (weapons of mass destruction)," he said, to cheers and scattered applause, "it's that there is no such thing as best in acting[.]'

Why in the name of Zoroaster would the SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, of all local newspapers, cut that WMD bit out? Does Judith Miller have some sort of dirt on Ruthe Stein and Carla Meyer?
