The Political Rhetoric They Deserve

Whited laments on the "slickification of politics" that results from "consultants and strategists" who "refine ... soundbites and talking points for public consumption" that sometimes seem untrue (to him, presumably).

Then at his other blog, his Spring-based co-blogger apparently adopts the royal "we" to refine a soundbite that is completely untrue for the sake of venting her hate-on for the mayor of a city she doesn't live in.

You'd think he at least reads his own blogs. But I guess it's more important that others do as he says, not as "they" do.
