For Cole, though a popular blogger, is certainly
not sensible and he has, on many issues, kept himself
acidulously ill-informed. Smart he is, however,
though mostly in his efforts to get to the top of the
heap of popular experts about the Arabs.

Do you want to toss in a [sic] after aciduously?

It is quoted correctly, see http://www.tnr.com/blog/the-spine/the-daily-him

See incidentally: http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=9343 , which leaves open the possibility that this is artfulness, not error, but in this case I kinda doubt it.

Reminds me of a late friend who spontaneously improved our language, moving earth with a bullnoser, hearing a heliwopter fly above---my favorite was the not fully formed inhabitant of a womb: a feetless.
