Choice of Words

When I read the slug on this op-ed at the New York Times, I was rather amused at their choice of words:

Why the heck do you think? Who’s editing the NYT these days, anyway?

    Gloria Steinham. Although in looking at the pics I was struck at how obviously virtuous and erudite they looked………
