My sympathy is with Crovitz. He's a laughing stock on the Interwebs. He's
lucky he didn't come up with anything as meme-able as "a series of tubes".
As it is "to crovitz" may well become shorthand for Republican partisan
mangling revisionism. And more people may make the connection that the WSJ
has the same owner as Fox News.
