Was this episode after Dick Cheney went hunting and accidentally shot a friend? I agree that several things were not done for an important person of Scalia’s fame, but this might be one conspiracy too far...
That’s the one.
Yep. This episode was after the Cheney accidental shooting, AND it was after the trumped-up “controversy” about Scalia going hunting with Cheney. So, no surprise Family Guy would run this kind of joke. The joke was both inappropriate and low-hanging fruit, two of Family Guy’s specialties.
