tommy, maybe you get your head out of the Democrat quicksand. Take a survey of “civil servants” as to their political affiliation. Just a simple question, “What party do you belong to?” You don’t have to push poll it like so many Lefties do.

You know tommy, you never can prove we Democrats don’t do that to any thing I’ve posted. Maybe you ought to look at your party closer and objectively for once.

Aw c’mon PCD how do you know what polictical beliefs some lazy civil servant has? I think your hatred of the democratic party is blinding your objectivity

Erm, ‘live-blog’ not ‘love-blog’. Whew, I went over all Wonkette for a moment.

Thanks, Sister Toldjah, for linking to my love-blog post on the MIA shooting!

It’s been getting a lot of mileage around Blogosphere, and I may well be on top of breaking local news events, more often, since there seems to be an interest.

And I see my old, old buddy Alex Nunez here. Heya!

Cheers,
Victoria

I think this is the way Democrats would handle things as this Metro-North Conductor did. (Commuter railroad that takes people to and from NYC and Northern NY State and Northern CT.

Where’s the ACLU lawsuit being filed? where are Chuck Schumer’s calls for disarming the Air Marshalls?

Thanks! Personally, I hope we’re both wrong, too. We can’t ask people to protect us and then malign them when they do exactly that.

Great post, Alex! I’m bracing myself for the tidal wave of criticisms from the usual suspects. Hopefully I’m wrong about this when it’s all said and done.

Hey Sister, i’m afraid it’s only a matter of time before the “usual suspects” you mention start questioning the marshal’s judgement. That’s standard operating procedure:

Re-evaluate the actions and decisions a single person had to make in seconds under enormously stressful circumstances where hundreds of lives are potentially at stake.

When possible, do so in as condescending a manner from cushy TV studios hundreds or thousands of miles removed from the incident itself.

The air marshal did his job, and I’m sure he feels terrible that he had to take a life in doing so. I sincerely hope that the armchair quarterbacking is kept to a minimum, but based on past behavior of some of the clowns littering cable news channels, I have low expectations.

Take your medication on time, all the time.

I blame Al . . . no . . . Jeff . . . Jeff Goldstein and his rabid armadillo. I suspect his monkey but it’s not Friday. Only almost Friday, so the monkey probably skates on this one.
