Vincent Bugliosi

Though there are some notable exceptions, by and large the persistent ranting of the Warren Commission critics, some of whom were screaming the word 'conspiracy' before the fatal bullet had even come to rest, came to remind me, as H.

American Author

Jonathan Lethem

I just noticed recently that in one book after another I seem to find an excuse to find some character who, to put it idiotically simply, is allowed to talk crazy.

American Writer

Karin Slaughter

I have a superhero complex. If I see anything bad happen, I run towards it, rather idiotically because, after all, what could I do?

Idiotically has a negative tone and suggests a lack of intelligence or thought.

Negative Connotation

Use with caution as it can sound harsh or offensive if directed at someone.

Emotionally Charged

Most often used in casual conversation rather than formal writing.
