George Will: Grammar Dunce

By Miss Kubelik

George F. Will is a dumbass. Not because he's going after Sarah Palin (we cats love it when Republicans fight), but because — despite his reputation as an effete GOP snob and bow-tie-sporting scholar — he doesn't speak English very well.

Tracing the roots of conservative intellectualism back to his idol, William F. Buckley, Will said, "The contrast between he and Ms. Palin is obvious."

Ehnt! Thanks for playing, George, but "he," being a subjective pronoun, cannot be the object of "between." And no — for you, we do not have lovely parting gifts in the back.

However, if you GOP guys want to keep slamming the famous killer from Alaska, we cats (not "us cats") are loving it.

UPDATE: We thank our gentle reader who pointed out the typing error in our third paragraph, which we have corrected. And we accept the George Will Dumbass Award in recognition of our carelessness.
