I believe this comment falls into the petty gripe variety as well as the "pandering to the elite" classification.

Novak isn't criticizing policy here,but rather criticizing the person. And it seems to me it falls into the "kicking a man when he's down" classification as well.

Well ok, I would agree with you that the comment about the vocabulary has no place. I suppose I reacted to people always crapping on Novak when he tells the truth that W is not exactly the most popular president ever, and hasn't been much of a conservative, either.
