How do you spell that disgusted sound my grandmother used to make when she heard something stupid? Or did that require the Hungarian accent to work?
On the news, I did hear that "it was the victim's fault, since he didn't announce himself as he was coming towards Cheney." OK. Got the blame the victim card in play. Also heard that it's such a common thing that the sheriff's department doesn't really pay too much attention. OK. So if all your friends jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge...?
On the other hand, remember we're not talking about bullets here. It was birdshot, which is little pellets that spray all over the place. So, he wasn't "shot" so much as "peppered," although the pellets did break the skin, and some will stay in him. But it doesn't sound as though it's truly life threatening.
Ah, well. Considering that Our Feckless Leader can lie -- not "attempt to mislead" us, but LIE to us -- with impunity, what can you expect? You want any sort of consistency or reason in Washington DC? Better get down to Party Headquarters and start cleaning up there.
Not, you understand, that I have any opinions on this. Hi, Emmy! {energetic wave}
