The Economist's blooper

The Economist is supposed to be a reputable publication, so the blooper in this article is all the more embarrassing:
For all Europe’s Obamamania Mr Obama is, in fact, one of the least European-minded of American presidents. JFK studied at the London School of Economics with Harold Laski, a leading British socialist. Bill Clinton went to Oxford University and surrounded himself with Rhodes scholars who liked to discuss the German educational model. John Kerry was famously not just French-speaking but also “French-looking”.
What's John Kerry doing in a list of presidents? At least they didn't mention the mighty Al Gore.
