D magazine jokes about shooting Pelosi

Posted By Thomas E. Ricks Share

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....
