What in the hell is wrong with Barry Saunders? This is exactly the sort of thing I said would happen in an earlier blog entry. Saunders wrote his piece yesterday, but I came across it after writing that the media consistently focuses on the wrong things. Saunders is either not serious or he’s a lunatic:
If you believe it was just an accident that Vice President Dick Cheney shot his hunting companion last weekend, you obviously have never seen “The Godfather” movies.
Just as surely as a fish wrapped in a bulletproof vest means “Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes,” that shotgun blast to Whittington’s face was meant to convey that I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby had better bite his tongue and forget about testifying against Cheney, his former boss, in the Valerie Plame spy case.
Can Barry Saunders be serious? This has got to be some major tongue-in-cheek. If not, I think someone should run a full psych eval on the guy. Go read his opinion column. Nutty and not funny all at the same time. Makes me wonder whether they have an editor on staff at newsobserver.com.
