Only The LA Times Could Print This With A Straight Face

October 8, 2008 | Jim Vicevich | |

OK … maybe protectors of the second amendment at the NY Times might. Here’s the quote. The Times is describing what it considers to be wrong with the cover of a September 15 edition of the very left very liberal Newsweek Magazine. Why the LAT blogger decided to do this now, I don’t know other than … a chance at another shot (oops, sorry). Here’s the best quote.

Hey, is that even the right way to hold a rifle? Can’t you shoot your foot off like that?

Here’s the cover … and if I have to explain the stupidity of the reporter’s comment … then get off this blog right now …. and I am begging you never to come back. Do you hear me? Never ever set foot on this blog again or I will take you hunting with my friend Jeff and Dick Cheney.

As Ace rights: “The same press corps which breathlessly invokes “semiautomatic pistol” as words of talismanic import, as if they’re describing exotic weaponry on the level of “phased plasma rifle in deh forty watt range.”

I missed it … but my friend Jeff didn’t. BTW … it’s a shotgun … its not a rifle.

    Isn't that one of those super-secret, long-range, collapsible stock sniper rifles that shoots exploding bullets dipped in Teflon?

    Damn, those things are dangerous.
