Misplaced Anger

From Gail Collins's New York Times column this week:

Earlier efforts by the White House to come to the aid of the hopelessly indebted homeowners sparked the now world-famous unfairness explosion by the CNBC reporter Rick Santelli. “How many of you people want to pay for your neighbors’ mortgage that has an extra bathroom and can’t pay their bills?” howled Santelli, in one really impressive display of righteous wrath and misplaced modifiers.

Ms. Collins has inspired me. I want to comb through Rush Limbaugh's CPAC screed* in search of misplaced modifiers, subject-verb-agreement errors, and the like. Because I really need to do something to blow off some liberal steam after reading this.

* I had to get that link from Fox News's website. Now I feel all icky.

I love Collin's comment. It's nasty in that intellectually elite way - the perfect put-down. I'll bet she got more criticism than support - Grammar Police, you know.
