Political assassinations 'R' US

For decades, America swore off political assassinations (euphemistically dubbed “eliminations with extreme prejudice”). Even George H. W. Bush followed this bad-karma-avoiding precedent. Yes, Bush “41” recognized that heavy-handedness coupled with shortsightedness truly is not in the best interests of the nation. What a shame that what’s good enough for Poppy isn’t good enough for Junior, who insists on beating his chest and having his own way no matter what. Judging from his behavior, I keep waiting to read that the enfant terrible finally threw a tantrum and held his breath until he turned blue.
