William Safire, still a wanker.

[edhopper]

In his weekly "language" column in the NYT Magazine, Safire still can't hide his political bias.

In talking about "The Straw Man Argument", he starts with Obama's use, then skips right to Clinton. (Yeah he mentions Nixon later to pretend he's balanced)
Hey Bill, if you are just trying to find examples of the Straw Man Argument in America, shouldn't you have mentioned that Bush guy, who took it a level unseen in modern politics.

1. Safire went round the bend long time ago

I knew he totally lost it when he said he was sure Obama would pick Feinstein as his VP and she'd accept.

Like she'd let Arnie put a republikkan in that seat

2. He's off the tracks in the first 100 words.

Who was telling Obama that the Democrats wouldn't defend America? That they would prefer surrender? How about the leader of the GOP: Rush Limbaugh.

I won't read another word of Saffire's bullshit article. When they mislead or misconstrue in setting their premise, I refuse to give them further audience.
