« Where the Buck Stops | Main | PASWO Blogging » December 26, 2004The Words We ChooseMaybe I'm sensitive to this issue in all its essential elements, but this David Broder column in the Washington Post seems to be almost comically old-fashioned, the way that bicycles with one big wheel and one small one are. Broder discusses the career of Oregon politician Vera Katz, who is retiring from her position as mayor of Portland. Katz has had a distinguished career over the decades, becoming speaker of the Oregon legislature before turning to municipal government. But the word Broder chooses to describe Katz is "feisty." Well, as long as we're reducing people to stereotypes, let me just say that Broder writes very well for his age. Posted by Paul Musgrave at December 26, 2004 11:12 AM Comments |
