Overheard On The Radio

A caller to a highly influential right-wing radio talk show, which was indirectly responsible for the massive upsurge in this blog's traffic, opined on the discovery of today's terror plot by saying...

...wait for it...

......hold on....

....just another pixel or two, you're not gonna die....

"I question the timing."

That is an actual quote, and his name wasn't Josh Marshall.

Yes, he seriously believed that the plot to blow up airplanes over the Atlantic Ocean was concocted to obscure the news of Ned Lamont's glorious, exalted victory in the Connecticut primary.

I paraphrase from memory:

"It just seems that whenever there's good news for Democrats, the terror alert gets raised."

Apparently, he hadn't even heard of Cynthia McKinney. Or Great Britain, or the U.K., or Scotland Yard, or MI5, MI6 for that matter.

UPDATE RS: It's one thing for nutjob radio caller, it's quite another for nutjob MSM reporter to question the timing. There's a word to describe this that I just can't remember....... after modern or something.
