On his sleeve

I made the mistake of watching Chuck Gibson's interview with Sarah Palin just now.

Oopsie. What was I thinking?

He trundled out the ol' "70% of Americans support a ban on military-style assault weapons" mantra in a clumsy attempt to skewer her gun-rights stance.

Here's a clue, Chucky. 70% of Americans support that ban because media talking-heads like you consistently mislead them about the rate at which they're used in crime (here's a hint - they rarely are.)

What a jerk. That's an hour of my life I'll never get back. The "interview" was little more than Chucky making his views on hot-button issues known through carefully worded suggestions ... er, questions.

Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required.
