Does Yglesias use this kind of language often?

Here he is talking about the House health care bill. Guess which word I didn't expect:

The chairs and members of the three relevant committees did a great mitzvah by putting egos aside, forming a unified “tri-committee” bill writing process, largely shutting up about their internal negotiations, and getting down to the job of writing a bill that fits the parameters Americans voted for in November.

Let’s hope it doesn’t turn out to be an aveirah.
