This would never happen at a copy editors' convention.

The Washington Press Club Foundation misidentified Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, as a "congressman from New Mexico" in the program for Wednesday night's annual Congressional Dinner.

The typo was tweeted by Tim Miller, deputy communications director at the Republican National Committee.

Fortunately, Chaffetz's office said he found the typo funny. When asked how the congressman feels about representing New Mexico, spokesman M.J. Henshaw said, "Muy bueno."
