strawman
- n a person used as a cover for some questionable activity
- n a weak or sham argument set up to be easily refuted
- n an effigy in the shape of a man to frighten birds away from seeds
- The pathetic use of this strawman would be unworthy of the worst sort of GOP backbencher.
- The strawman: you know, I don't think the Michael Sherers and the Joe Kleins actually get it wrt their loyal readers.
- I will also note your use of a strawman.
