EUGENE VOLOKH looks at yet another lame “Kerryism” at Slate. Eugene observes: “I’ve criticized Kerryisms many times in the past; maybe I’ve reached the point of diminishing returns. But it just galls me to see this sort of stuff — not substantive, not funny, just empty snideness descending into self-parody — in a magazine of Slate’s prominence and quality.”

I agree, and I’d think with Slate up for sale, they’d want to avoid this sort of thing.
