It's the day after the massacre at Virginia Tech and all the politicos have taken the opportunity to express their horror or such an unthinkable act.
I'm surprised that anything is unthinkable to them anymore. I'm sure to most of them its just a fine photo-op and a way to get their name out associated with this event.
Maybe I'm just a hard-ass but I get a little P.O.'d when people start saying things like "we're a nation that's greiving". Can't we be a little more stoic like the British, or even the Amish after the schoolhouse shooting.
Maybe some folks have an over-developed sense of empathy, but to me that isn't news. It's stirring the emotional pot of people who like to believe that there is evil all around us and ready to pounce at any time.
Next comes the blame game. "What could we have done to prevent this from happening?". Nothing. Again, it's not news, it's speculation and hindsight.
The timing of this event was pretty bad for Don Imus. If it happened a week earlier he probably would still have a job.
