The grammar police school Mike Wankum

Dave Alpert doesn't mind that the WCVB weatherman boasts of meeting Jewel. What frosts him is how Wankum says he met Jewel:

... Mike Wankum explained that he met Jewel because at a KISS Concert they invited "my daughter and I back there" [to meet her]. That is retard English, ENTIRELY unbecoming of a TV celebrity with an advanced degree (and from a man that innocent, grammar loving children look up to). Shouldn’t he be punished like Phelps???? ...

Would it be obnoxious to point out that Alpert made a grammatical mistake in complaining about Wankum's grammatical mistake?

Mike Wankum rips the covers off that sham. He probably likes going around whispering "Santa isn't real" to little kids.
