AAA for credit rating, E for history?

The SA Libs have copped a bit of a beating in the media lately, sometimes over relatively trivial matters. Crikey (not online) has taken them to task for not being able to spell (or spellcheck) words such as "Labor" (not "Labour") .

Talking about casting the first stone....One of Labor's blue eyed boys Deputy Premier, Treasurer and architect of the restoration of the states's AAA credit rating Kevin Foley has slipped up on his website . Most South Australians except him and his staff would know that the site of Port Adelaide was not chosen by "
Captain Light"
: it was Colonel Light, as in the well-known Adelaide suburb Colonel Light Gardens. If Mr Foley can be so loose with his historical facts how can we believe him when he tells us about all the manna from heaven which has descended on the state during his stewardship?
