A dangling what?
Here’s a amusing line from an otherwise unremarkable MSN blurb. The article’s about delaying the release of “The Hunting Of The President”, a new documentary about Clinton, because of the death of Reagan.

“We decided it was wholly inappropriate during a week of mourning in the country for a much-beloved president to be having a celebration.”

Er, is the much-beloved president the one having a celebration, or the one for which we’re having a week of mourning?
