Here is the lead on Tony Norman's latest column:

"Ralph Nader has been the victim of more playa' hatin' than just about any figure in contemporary American politics."

"playa' hatin'?" How about "animosity?" That's a nice, grown-up word. Why the selective use of Ebonics? And is 75-year-old, pasty white Ralph Nader a "playa'" by anyone's definition?

Is Mr. T trying to regain his street cred after many columns admitting that he's a comic book nerd and one that detailed how he drove across the state to catch a Leonard Cohen performance? Is this his way to tell the "brothas," hey, I'm one of you, complete with the ridiculous porkpie hat that I like to wear at public appearances?

Or is this just more evidence that Mr. T is a poseur?
