Talk:Michael Gerson

Untitled
Isn't there some more elegant way the two different kinds of references should be shown? Shouldn't Hubris be referenced in the same way as the articles? It makes the references section look really junky. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Quentinmatsys (talk • contribs)


 * Quite true. I've reformatted all the references. I also added a ref, and rewrite some paragraphs to reflect Gerson's change of job. Cheers, CWC (talk) 12:54, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Might it be more accurate to describe Gerson as "social conservative" or "neo-conservative" than a "moderate conservative"?. There is little resemblance between his views and people like Chris Shays or Arnold Schwarzenegger, for instance —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

mixed metaphors
this quotation probably should be modified to reflect that fact that a mushroom cloud actually has nothing to do with a smoking gun! "Gerson proposed the use of a "smoking gun/mushroom cloud" metaphor" i would propose that it would be more accurate to call this a mixed metaphor. now whether or not that is an example of defective writing, i'll leave to others, but strictly speaking "smoking gun" and "mushroom cloud" have nothing to do with each other, and fused together, they are nothing but a mixing of metaphors. if anything, it's rather jarring, rhetorically speaking. -- chris — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.34.48.93 (talk) 22:57, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
