I know, he’s dead.
But in response to this news (first this) (then this) all I can hear is “It couldna happened to a nicer guy.” No, I do not condone the pitching of tourist chachkas at political leaders. No, I do not condone violence as my personal means of effecting political change. I prefer mockery and bribery, personally, but that’s just me. When one of the most media savvy and scummy politicians of the modern era gets injured in this way, I know that he has access to the best pain killers on the planet, and he’s gonna come out okay.
