As we pore over the press regarding alleged rapist Peter Braunstein — who once worked at Women's Wear Daily and the Village Voice — it's hard not to notice a pattern. From various articles in the Post and Daily News, a sampling of language:

• brilliant Braunstein
• he is very intelligent
• "he's extremely clever"
• highly intelligent
• "a quiet and brilliant person"
• extremely intelligent and talented, with an IQ of 185

Alright, we're just going to say it. If he's so damn smart, what's up with his hair?
