For heaven's sake. It's not like anyone died here.

Petty media... sniffing for a scandal.

You must have missed the presser in front of the hospital this afternoon.

There were some extremely awkward statements issued.

One of the most curious was when the doctor issued a very terse "No comment" in reply to a simple question of whether there'd been any surgery performed on the victim. The doctor shot out an immediate "No comment", and the whole sequence was strange, and tense. It was one of those scenes where you know the reporters immediately made mental notes to the extent of "find out what kind of surgery they performed on him!"

Another "radar-raiser" statement was when the doctor said that MOST of the wounds were "superficial".

"Most" of them are superficial? OK, then what about the REST of them?

Consider the known facts, and do a little logical analysis: He was described as receiving a fairly large part of the "pattern", over an area covering the side of his face, his neck, and his upper torso.

I would really like to be a fly on the wall, and see just what, if anything, is going on with regard to any "issues" concerning "pellets" in proximity to his carotid and/or jugular, both of which are smack dab in the middle of the area that was hit, both of which are soft tissue, and both of which are very close to the surface of the skin -- skin, which in men of that age, tends to be very thin and fragile.

Might explain why he's been in intensive care for the past couple of days -- and remaining there. Might explain why the whole MAJOR news item was buried, hushed-up, and jackhammered into the GO AWAY zone.

It ain't gonna go away, and I think there is a lot more to it than we've been told.

OK, the partisan hacks can now creep out of the woodwork and climb all over my post and try to rip my logic to shreds. Be my guest. I don't deny you your right to earn a living (although frankly I'd think "telemarketer" would offer a bit more self-respect than "political shill").

Suffice it to say that as of this afternoon's revelations in the news, I feel more than a tad vindicated. :)
