Huckleberries Online

Quotable Quote

I hate it when people say ("...the lesser of two evils"). It is code for "I don't know anything about either of the candidates, so I'll just say "the lesser of two evils" and it'll sound like I'm smarter than everyone else." Except it doesn't -- it just makes you sound like an uninformed idiot with an opinion on a subject you obviously know nothing about/Unequivocal Notion.

Question: What do you think about the use of the term, "the lesser of two evils," when describing a political race?
