    I think poco makes an exellent point, actually

    How can anyone consider it newsworthy that the Vice President of the United States shot a man in the face? I mean, come on, people. It’s not like he did something that actally merits non-stop, continuous 24/7 media coverage. You know, something that rated that kind of attention, like, oh, I don’t know. Something significant, something momentous, something worthy of endless national focus and debate, like … oh, help me out here somebody! Like, ooooooooo … mmmmmm …well, like, for instance, maybeeeeeeee … getting a blowj —

    Okay. You know what? Forget it. I just can’t even … Never mind. Sorry. Move along folks, nothing more to see here.
