I irony is not lost on me that Republicans, men, and women who love to rattle sabers, bang war drums and send our youth off the fight in far off lands are now running scared in the face of a little gunfire.

It turns out, despite talking tough politicians are really just scared suits.

You'll forgive me for being somewhat unsympathetic. I just can't help feeling indifferent to their plight. Not only do they assume some risk when entering Congress but D.C. makes it nearly impossible for them to defend themselves because of their strict gun laws.

Imagine the Tea Party doing the same thing with Obama getting the knife.

We're living in a powder keg.
