MURDER, POLITICS, AND THE END OF THE JAZZ AGE
by Michael Wolraich
In a move to top the scary bullshit Romney spewed at the NRA convention in St. Louis, that Obama plans to pack the Supreme Court to drown the 'First Freedom' in the bathtub, Rick Santorum has signed up his trisomy 18 daughter Bella as a life member of the pro-gun group.
Trisomy 18 is different than Down's Syndrome, trisomy 21, in that it is usually fatal with half of its victims dying by the age of 1 week. I don't suppose Rick asked 3-year old Bella if she liked guns or the NRA, and it is unknown if she owns gun, or has ever shot one. We do know that GOP kids are always fair game for exploitation, particularly if suffering a genetic disease, and now, as a poster infants for partisan publicity, this time for the pro-death gun lobby. Maybe Romney can trump Rick and say he signed up his Irish setter as an NRA member?
