48 hours or what? Gardasil Rick isn't gonna do a thing, but he thinks his hollow rhetoric will score him points with the voters. If this were not an election year, the most he would do is chuckle about the incident over a cognac with Calderone.

“I just hope she didn’t do it”

Who? The wife?

There were ‘eye witnesses’ to the attack by the drug dealers.

Don’t think this is a ‘domestic’ problem.

More of an international one.

...after which a very strongly-worded letter will be FAXed to Calderon. Followed the next day by a FAX in ALL CAPS!

“Or what? Texas will declare war?”

I think we can take them. I’ll help.

Something about this story for some reason just isn’t adding up for me.

Me neither.

Why would pirates kill a guy on a jet-ski? Maybe because he was involved in their nefariousness with them?

How did she get out alive?

I'm hoping that if the Mexican government doesn't help out here, that Mr. Perry sends heavily armed Texas Rangers across the border to search the Mexican side of the lake shoreline. Screw the "international incident." There have been so many DOCUMENTED cases of Mexican nationals AND MILITARY violating our territory and even shooting at civilian LE and Border Patrol officers!

I do NOT want him to send the National Guard, because Obama could nationalize the units and order them to stand down.

OK, or he will what? Already said.

Sightseeing in Mexico? Really? Why? Why would anyone in their right mind go to Mexico anymore? Why would anyone go anywhere in Mexico at all. It is probably worse there now than Colombia ever was.

In the old days they would have sent in the Texas Rangers and that would have been the end of it.

I’m sure the Great Leader will apologize for the incursion. That will end it.

It's Mexico they don't need a reason. Even the Mexicans acknowledge its a war going on in their country. Sticker on back of Mexican plated car:

48 hours?

Then what?

Stomp your feet and pout? Call Obama? Call Janet Napalitano? Call the governor and demand actions [oh, wait, you are the governor].

Don’t know if the guy had a big life insurance policy or whatever.....

The part about cutting back to try to haul him onto her jetski is problematic.
Seems like the narcos would have gotten to her quite quickly.

She may have added this embellishment as a result of anguish though.

Why? To score drugs.

Has anyone heard a description of the three boats?
