Thanks for the ping. Just how drunk or stupid does a person have to be, to do something like this?
Drunk or stupid? I'm presuming it was arrogance. Rachel Buchman, like so many members of the "news" media, believes that she is a member of a privileged class that is free to do and say whatever she wants to whoever she wants.
And I'll bet she has an even higher-paying job in journalism within two weeks. She's a martyr now.
