Dilemma

I don't know who to pity more, Ann or Mickey.

Still, Mickey at least aims for respectability and presumably is generally against the concept of "murdering journalists" so it's puzzling that he's good pals with the woman who once said:

My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building.


Oddly, few who commented on that seemed to understand what she actually said. She wasn't simply advocating the death of all who worked in the NYT Building, though of course she was doing that. She was also signalling her approval of what Timothy McVeigh did do - kill hundreds of federal workers and others, including children. His failure to take out folks at the Times was her "only regret."

Slate endorsed, slate approved.

Heh.
