At AoSHQ:
Journalists used to deploy a euphemism -- "distancing himself" -- to apply to politicians who offered up some kind of criticism of one of their own party. It meant nothing. It did not advance any case against the wrongdoer. It did not call for any concrete action to be taken against the politician in bad odor. It's just a transparently self-serving minimum-possible-effort maneuver to keep yourself from being associated with someone you're clearly associated with. You're just "distancing yourself" from the stink. But not doing anything to clean it up. Democrats are now doing a lot of Distancing Themselves with Cuomo...
Still more.
