Gotta re-elect Commiebarry.

Who could possibly vote for someone who uses the word “ain’t”?

To run for President the candidate should use grammar that is just above the level of what is spoken by the majority of the voters. I’m with Perry on this one.

I’m a paid member of the grammar-nazis, but I think this columnist just couldn’t think of anything interesting to write that day.

Oh, so now nitwit newspaper columnists are the arbiters of what rhetorical devices politicians can deploy and still be “presidential”?

Enallage can be quite effective, and both Perry and Cain have deployed it nicely.

Why do they pick on Perry, with his intentional “ain’t,” and under a big photo, when I’ve heard Cain say more than once “we was . . .”? Stoopid MSM. I really loathe them.
