Sh+ that Brady can’t get a break

[vbmoneyspender]

It wasn't Brady - it was James Baker's granddaughter - which makes the legislation even more ridiculous. Only 11 people have drowned from this 'defect' since 1999. That's one a year. You are 50 times more likely to die from a lightning strike than you are to die from getting stuck to a pool drain. Given these facts, one would think this is not the type of tragedy that is crying out for redress via a brand new section in the United States Code.

Put bluntly, this was feelgood legislation that was passed to make the family of a Washington DC bigshot feel better. Conservatives should find it truly disturbing that if some Washington DC insider has some tragedy occur in their family, they stand a good chance of imposing their will on all of their fellow citizens through ridiculous legislation that their fellow DC insiders pass in order to make all of them feel good.

Again this is just ridiculous and is emblematic of everything that is wrong with Washington DC.

That Brady was never secretary of state. He was Reagan’s press secretary. Maybe he means James Baker.
