Reihart-Rogoff!  Yeah that was a memorable one.  That paper already had serious issues before the Excel error came out, and it was compounded by the fact that even taking it on its face, it was cited for broader propositions than it ever really stood for.

They're a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.
