"We live in a world of violent images and violent words, but those of us in public life ... should be thoughtful in response to this," the Senate majority whip said on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday. "We owe it to our own in both political parties to at least have the good sense and common decency ... to say, 'Wait a minute that just goes too far,' whether it's from the right or the left."

TRANSLATION: America hangs its head in shame for one second, and then knee-jerk conservatives go back to being knee-jerk conservatives, and knee-jerk liberals go back to being knee jerk liberals, and PILLHEADS and KEITH Os go back to screaming for profit, and the whole angry cycle gets worse.

But now that it is coming to light that this may have been an anti-Semitic hate crime maybe the PILLHEADS and KEITH Os will quiet the attack dogs -- for a few minutes.

FURTHER TRANSLATION: SARAH!!!!! will raise her speaking fees; and Dick probably has trouble saying such well-meaning truisms without needing to suppress a giggle, although he's been at it long enough he doesn't have to worry.

And TOMORROW, PILLHEAD will grieve on the outside while bloating, "THE DEMOCRAT PARTY'S TRYING TO SUPPRESS...." And KEITH will pretend something close to a crying jag while finding someone eminently worthy of being shot.

And ED MURROW's three executive producers and two hundred writers are busy working on His jokes, and there will be jokes, and He is crass enough to joke -- and His audience has the laughs rehearsed.

A PLAGUE O' ALL YOUR HOUSES!!!!!
