Jeanine's newest page 10
This is too funny. Jeanine Pirro, the embattled republican standard-bearer in the Attorney General race, has a new ad out.
The punch line is: "Andrew, attorney generals can't hide".
Problem is, that would be "attorneys general". Apparently, nobody on the Pirro campaign speaks English well enough to have caught that little malapropism in their newest statewide ad.
Someone please put this woman out of her misery. Make her go away. I can't take it anymore.

Correct but overly pedantic
While you are correct that 'Attorneys-General' is the correct plural (and in speech I use it myself), if I was making a political ad I would use "Attorney-Generals".
Why? Because the vast majority of people would be confused by the correct term. Being understood in a political ad is more important than obeying a fairly archaic law of spelling.
