Jail Fluffy

The petition to have Meet the Press host David Gregory arrested for illegal possession of a large capacity ammunition magazine within the jurisdiction of the District of Columbia is the first clever thing I’ve seen the right do in a very long time. It’s never easy to explain why rich fluffyheads are exempt from the laws that the rest of us must follow. Sometimes, as with NFL wide receiver Plaxico Burress (who famously shot himself in the leg at a NYC nightclub), it’s just not worth it to bend the law to account for fame and money. He went to jail for a while. This David Gregory gun brandishing thing could be the next Benghazi!! Except, this time, the Metro police are involved.

We should all go shoot watermelons in our backyards in solidarity and celebration.
