Unabashed grammar Nazi here. If we debase the language, we debase the thoughts we express in it. If that is considered rude, it's more of a problem for who's considering it so. I intend no slight or disrespect to the OP or even the author of the original article. "In many things we all offend." (James 3:2)

"Freely generated"? What would qualify for that description? Maybe a coin toss?
CS Lewis once said that he never felt so free as when he was most compelled — speaking of his conversion.
In the case of Cabinet picks, these are, as with Seema Verma, the responsibility and decision of the POTUS, and the means by which he arrives at them are at his own discretion. If he uses advice from the VP, well, so what? After the appointment leaves his desk, it has his signature on it, and it may be properly attributed so.
