Differential Descriptions 

Natasha at Pacific Heights got to wondering the other night, why a CNN news reader referred to John Edwards thusly....

The millionaire trial lawyer promised to [fight for the working class.]

...when he could as easily have said...

"'the successful son of a mill worker promised to fight for the working class'?

Natasha gives you the answer and then proceeds to come up with some one-liners for Bush/Cheney not likely to appear on CNN anytime soon, like say...

The two former energy company executives promise to respect the environment.

She has more, and they are all great fun. As Natasha admits, she could probably go on and on...I'd say she's done her part; any additions to the list should come from readers. Here or there; any we receive we'll be sure get over to Pacific Heights.

While you there, don't miss this post about her initial experience as a local voting activist with the wonderfully witty title, "Backyard RealPolitik."
