D magazine jokes about shooting Pelosi

Those funsters at D, a Dallas city magazine, saw fit to run this rib-tickling commentary, relating to welcoming home George W. Bush:
From my own experience visiting the troops in the Middle East, I can tell you this, though: despite how the conflict has been portrayed by our glorious media, if you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Osama bin Laden, there's a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and bin Laden would be strangled to death."
I guess this was just too funny to wait for the November issue.
(This has been picked up everywhere, but a tip of the Best Defense Dick Raddatz-era Red Sox cap tip to Crittenden, who notified me first, and who also has a huge, if somewhat Anglophiliac, reading list on his site.)

Two Sides To The Coin
And then there's Wanda Sykes. For some reason the Pelosi joke is the only one getting attention, though....
It's so wrong
but I still laughed.
