Spinning happens. Finding a henchman who will act as apologist is easy. FInding a video that has spinning more entertaining than this is easy. But what is revealed in this interview is the pedantic nature of those who are trusted custodians of the pubic trust. Of course I am noting the use of the word “dude” as the salient feature of the interview. Mr. VIeter is revealing that he was educated in the pubic school system that graduates many students who are left incapable of reading their diploma.
Thirty years ago I submitted an essay concerning the deterioration of the Engish language and the insipient encroachment of techno-jargon into the language. I have been keenly aware of the growing lack of respect for the language in our popular culture.
It is becoming rather disturbingly obvious that he, and many others of this generation are educated in a no-fail system. His sullen hypercynicism and sardonic replies evidence a second- rate intellect who is more accustomed to preaching to the quire than responding to criticism.
Sadly, Mr. Vieter is an example of the intellectual caliber of those we have entrusted with our nation . They have been pampered by the Media, and they aren’t used to being asked hard questions. Then maybe they sent a sycophant to do the job of a spin doctor?
