“Maher is an amusing little man.”
Perhaps the modifier “amusing” does not belong there. (And of course, I do not refer to Maher’s physical stature...only to his diminuitive mental one.)
I didn’t mean he was funny. I meant that he is amusing because he is so self-important. I wasn’t referring to his stature either. Big people can be very short in stature and little people can be very tall in stature. I referred to him as little because he is too self-absorbed and self-righteous to see beyond his own nose. How dare he so flippantly dismiss someone like General Patraeus.
