What in heaven's name is a "biography tour"?

They heard the term for the first time yesterday, gee, I wonder where: John McCain is embarking next week on a "biography tour."

And today, Wolf Blitzer and every other cable news nitwit are repeating it as if it's a tradition as old and time-honored as the aboriginal walkabout.

"Gee, I was wondering when he'd embark on a biography tour!"

"You know why she lost the race, don't you? She didn't take a biography tour!"

"Life—it's not a journey, as much as it's a 'biography tour.'"

How do reporters with such a lack of self-respect muster sufficient morale to get dressed for work in the morning?

rueben:

The world is full of nitwits and doofuses (or is that doofi?) and, alas, the media is very much a reflection of the world.

But it's Friday, David. So I say don't fight it. Instead, relax and begin your own weekend biography tour - I'd suggest beginning with the pubs and taverns that have "played a significant role in shaping who you are today."
