Keeping a grip on reality

Buck Galaxy — 2/15/2006 7:24:41 AM (archived)

I'm not one to make a big deal about nothing. This is not nothing. A guy was shot. Yeah it was an accident but when anyone is shot with a gun it is very serious stuff.

A grip on reality? Turn on your moral compass and ask yourself honestly what is more serious: A man lying (to rightwing lawyers who are his sworn politcal enemies and have been legally harrassing him for years) about a blow job in order to save his career and family, or someone getting blasted by shot gun from 30 feet and hospitalized, and the perpetrator not reporting it until the next day?

Btw, you still haven't addressed how YOU would be spinning this were it Clinton or Gore pulling the trigger.
