I figured the “blame Putin” push was just to get those Central American kids out of the news...and it worked GREAT.

That's right. The U.S. State Dept. shot down this jet.

“That’s right. The U.S. State Dept. shot down this jet.”

No, but they seem to be a LOT MORE interested in it than would normally happen, considering it was a flight between Asia and EUROPE and only had one American on board. Heck, two Americans were killed in Israel yesterday, but no one screaming there.

...and it makes GREAT COVER for getting those pesky kids from Central America off the Sunday shows.

(sorry, that’s how politics works with this bunch)
