As I opened the Drudge Report this morning and saw the headline reporting on the double murder plus suicide in the Marine's officer training school at Quantico, Virginia... the first thought that came to my mind was that old expression that has become logo: "It never rains but it pours!"
The echos of the mortar that blew up and killed seven Marines at Hawthorne Army Depot in Nevada have barely faded.... and now this. The Snidely Reid of the Senate has just finished walking on the bodies of those young Marines with his sequester B.S. -- I wonder how he will try to turn this unhappy incident into a political personification of smarmy.
Was it another result of Sequester? Were the officer candidates overworked and underpaid? Were they too closely quartered in their co-ed barracks because of budget shortfalls?
By the way Partners, did you ever notice that Dingy Harry always makes his ringing, dinging speeches from the well of the Senate -- not out on the front steps or in a news interview? Remember his; "I know Romney hasn't paid his taxes in ten years but I can't tell you how I know." statement ---- from the well of the Senate?
Our Constitution says he can't be sued for any, ANY, statement he makes on the Senate Floor. But across the street -- that's another story. Cowardice in politics, that's our Dingy Harry.
For the Marines, I only hope that they are not hit hit shortly with that other old saw: 'Bad things come in threes.'
Keep your fingers crossed!!!!!
