Slate writer describes Cazenovia as "beautiful"

In an article from June 2 mostly devoted to the trouble Cazenovian Karl Zinsmeister has had in his first few weeks working for President Bush, Slate.com writer Bruce Reed had this to say:

Zinsmeister and his family live in upstate New York in the beautiful little town of Cazenovia, where they can swim in the summer, ski in the winter, and never cross paths with the repugnant, cheating, and shifty.
The adjectives used at the end of that quote are ones used by Zinsmeister to describe "people in Washington" in his 2004 interview with the Syracuse New Times (if you believe the original interviewer) or an "overclass" in government (if you believe Zinsmeister's rewriting of that New Times article).

All that said, the writer got it right when he said it's beautiful here!
