Bush and his people are asshats, but you knew that already.

Regarding the shootings at Virginia Tech, after the respectful prayers for the victim's families:

"The president believes that there is a right for people to bear arms, but that all laws must be followed," spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

THIS is what you're going to include in a public statement only hours after the worst mass shooting in U.S. history?!

*curses a LOT*

Geeee-Arggggg. Teeth grinding. Thing like this are why I try to avoid listening to Bush.

I feel the pain. (I have no direct connection with Virginia Tech beyond being a longtime Virginia resident, but I'm doing my best to feel for them. It's horrible that this happened.)

Sorry you encountered the dicksmacks when you lived in Northern Virginia. I managed mostly to avoid them while I lived there (from fifth through 12th grade). I was lucky in that way.

Excuse me, I'm going to go off to fume...

I think the problem is two-fold, when you look at it.

1.) A reporter actually thought NOW, when we still don't have a clear picture of the events, was a great time to ask about gun control.
2.) The White House spokesman didn't bitchslap him and say, "You think you can wait until we know what's going on before you bring this stuff up, dingbat?"

Not that I'm surprised by either event, but still.

This is not intended as a flame.

But it was a GREAT time to ask... they didn't have time to make something up.
