Calling Lehrer everything from “onanist” to “recyclist” and the especially cutting “plagiarist” — kryptonite for any writer with any sort of reputation — offended journalists across the online media tore into Lehrer like a tornado into a small Kansas town once the news broke, leaving the man’s reputation in tatters across the search engines.
“Lehrer” is German for teacher. The teacher has been schooled. Continue Reading
