DBWI: Assassins in the White House

The BBC World Service is reporting major breaking events in the recent assassination of the American and Indian politicians.

The BBC reported radio host Rush Limbaugh was killed in a massive fire fight at Limbaugh's Florida compound. Apparently Secret Service agents, accompanied by U. S. Federal Marshalls had warrants allowing them to search the compound and question Mr. Limbaugh about the assination. The federal officers tried to enter the palatial home of the radio personality to serve Mr. Limbaugh but were greeted with with a hail of gunfire, killing or wounding all of the original party of federal agents and marshalls. Local, state, and federal back-up was called. Three of Limbaugh's supporters were killed, and six were wounded and captured. Mr. Limbaugh, apparently unable to feel pain due to his consumption of Oxycontin and Vicodin, died after being shot sixteen times.

Further, CNN is reporting there a police cordon around Fox News Headquarters in Manhattan. Wolf Blitzer, on scene, is reporting that Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity have taken hostages and are seeking political asuylum in Alabama.

On MSNBC Keith Olbermann is reporting that he was right and people should have paid more attention to him.


:D:):D:)
 
OOC: Um...I hope this is an IC attitude; I don't think protest rallies are the same thing as assassinations. Even saying mean things about the president on the radio or blogs isn't. A lot of both happened 2000-2008, after all.

IC: Well...it looks like your crackdown is coming. CNN showed the riot police headed towards that group of Tea Partiers rallying on the Mall, but the DC Police just shut the feed down. But I'm sure they're headed there to reach out to the ordinary people and respond to the percieved and real slights?

OOC: I should have been more clear. I was referring specifically to the particularly insane protestors who imply that we need an armed revolution against the government, not the "regular" protestors.

Now come on... lets not get to crazy and ASBish with this :rolleyes:

OOC: I can see the Limbaugh one perhaps. Maybe. Probably not. But definitely Olbermann. :D)

Very silly.
 
Very silly.
Coming from you, the High Minister of Silly Posts, this is very high praise. So many on the board, myself included, have spent gleeful hours chuckling while we read your posts. For my own modest attempt to be acknowledged by you, the board member whose screen name is synonymous with the silly post, exceeds my wildest dreams. Thank you, High Minister of Silliness. :)

Tragedy almost ensued when Keth Olbermann, the now former MSNBC news reader, mistook a satirical show on the BBC for the real thing and reported it as such. Only a quick live interview on the Fox Network of Rush Limbaugh by Sean Hannity proved that they were both still very much alive and at liberty. Olbermann was last seen being transported away in a van to a place "where he will get the best of help."
 
OK, President Pelosi has backed off a bit, since it now seems it was Pakistani Intelligence who sent the assassins, not Al Qaeda (or Fox News...) Guess it's like 9/11--if people aren't careful, they say some dumb things under stress. Lord knows I did--but then again, I'm not the freaking President. My rants aren't likely to be mistaken for federal policy.

The Tea Party rally on the Mall was suppressed with no more than the usual amount of force. And I admit it, they hadn't gotten a permit.

Interestingly, most of the press also reacted badly to that speech, not just the conservative press. The WaPo had a particularly snide editorial about the First Amendment. Pelosi has ruined any chance she had for a media honeymoon, I think.

(It is a little scary how many people on the Internet are still calling for mass media suppression of people who had nothing to do with the assassination--but I try to keep reminding myself, "That's just Internet loons...that's just Internet loons...")

I'm guessing we'll just let the domestic tiff simmer--we've got a bona fide international crisis to deal with.

Oh geez--we might have an Indian-Pakistani nuclear war soon, and so many of us a fretting about domestic issues. Yes, me too. What's the matter with us? Sigh--I'm guessing President Pelosi won't be able to enjoy a national unity bounce like Bush did after 9/11.
 
The Weekly World News is reporting that Oprah will be nominated for the Vice Presidency. The paper also had a photo of Oprah meeting with someone who looked a lot like Princess Di.

Now on to the stranger stuff. The latest war scare involving Pakistan and India has caused a panic on Wall Street. Many American companies have large and important operations in India, including such operations as their accounting. Fears of losing such offshore operations has led to the devaluing of stocks. Money from the sales of stock are reported to be a large part of the rapid increase in the price of oil, as investers seek a safer return in a commodity being marked up due to threats to its reliable supply and production.

Meanwhile, the Internet reports that Osama Bin Laden has had it with the American cable networks ignoring his organization. "What does a terrorist have to do to get some attention?" he is reported to have said. The Internet is all abuzz about Osama's new project, the Osama Show. The Osama Show will be a two hour mix of news, commentary, and entertainment. Osama vows to be the next Johnny Carson.
