“I regret being present for certain aspects of the previously referenced trip.”

Scathing Online Schoolmarm is a mad fan of super hyper dainty language brought to bear upon the raucously vulgar. It maketh her laugh.

Columbia [South Carolina’s] mayor has broken his silence about a business partner convicted this week on felony racketeering charges.

Mayor Steve Benjamin said he regrets going on a trip that included a visit to a Florida strip club with Jonathan Pinson, a former South Carolina State University trustee…

The mayor’s name came up frequently in Pinson’s trial, even though he was never charged. Some of the most salacious accusations came from a developer who testified that he took Benjamin and Pinson to Florida, where they visited a strip club.

“I regret being present for certain aspects of the previously referenced trip. I should have used better judgment,” Benjamin wrote.

Certain aspects of the previously referenced sojourn would have been better… But it’s still great.

    It’s the Divine Indefinite – certain aspects of the previously referenced trip – a variant of the Divine Passive voice.
