From a Washington Post story about Arizona Representative J.D. Hayworth’s re-election campaign:
Hayworth said the race will be tough because [opponent Harry] Mitchell is getting backing from national Democrats. But he predicted victory and dissed Mitchell by saying “he doesn’t really stand up on issues.”
Dissed? Has that really gone mainstream enough to find its way into a Washington Post news article? Not that I care, mind you, but it did raise an eyebrow when I read it on the train this afternoon.
