Shorter
Shorter is reading something horrid and long so other people don't have to, such as Michelle Malkin, and reducing the entire ridiculous argument to one sentence.
Shamelessly Stolen Example:
That U.S. Marines are being held in solitary confinement is the ACLU’s fault.
This is a pathetic example even for the locus of liberal laziness and daily whoop-de-doo that is Sadly, No -- i.e., it shows them out admirably as the basement-dwelling AV Club cranks that they are in real life. Somewhat less pathetically, the Shorter was invented by smarty-trouser smartey-pants Daniel Davies, while the master of the Shorter is generally regarded to be the allusively-named Elton Beard, of the blog, Busy Busy Busy. Beard, known for nothing else in his life, disappeared in November, 2007, effectively Shortering himself.
