Frum Editor Apoplectic Over Politico's Intoxicating Headline

Justin Green, the Washington-based editor of David Frum’s website, came unglued this morning over a headline in Politico that reads, “Joe Biden ‘intoxicated’ by 2016 Run.” In the story, the authors, Mike Allen, Jonathan Martin and Jim VandeHei, quote “a Democrat close to the White House” as saying, “He’s intoxicated by the idea, and it’s impossible not to be intoxicated by the idea.”

So far so good. Intoxicated in a quote, intoxicated in the headline. It’s an interesting word and lures you into the story.
