Shorter David Cay Johnston:
“I can’t defend what I did in any substantive way, so I will simply boldly state my innocence and purity, drop an occasional accusation, list a bunch of impressive accomplishments that don’t relate to the matter at hand, and then declare my departure loudly.”
You really should have ended with “Good DAY, Sir!”
And no, 60 million Americans don’t live on $7 a day. The assertion is laughable, no matter what mathematical operations you used to arrive at it.
It is simply the sort of abuse of language that we have come to expect from so-called journalists – to paraphrase Jack Nicholson’s “Joker,” “this profession needs an enema!”
