Making her an offer she can't refuse

[CatWoman]

why do I smell the White House and Tom Delay all over this?

Why remains to be seen:

The FBI and Capitol Police are investigating the vicious attack of a top Senate staffer at her home last week amid concerns that the assault might be related to her work on the Finance Committee.

Emilia DiSanto, chief investigator for committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), arrived at her suburban Virginia home after work Wednesday about 6:30 p.m. As she was unloading belongings from her car, a 6-foot-1-inch white man dressed in black struck her repeatedly with an unidentified object believed to be a baseball bat.

After she screamed to her family inside the house, the assailant fled. DiSanto was transported to Inova Fair Oaks Hospital, where she was treated for significant upper-body injuries. Nine staples were needed to close her head wound.

DiSanto, who declined to comment, has reported back to work.

The attack and the possibility that it was motivated by congressional business have made some people anxious on Capitol Hill.

3. Very observant lady!

"a 6-foot-1-inch white man". I might have known the make and model of the bat, but an accurate to the inch height estimate is impressive.

6. not sure if it was the usual suspects--

i`d think they would have used a "dark man" the ambiguous color of evil that would lead suppositions to urban criminals or middle eastern terrorists.

7. These people, who are running our country, operate like mobsters.

I think we will be seeing more of this until we can slap handcuffs on the whole lot of them.
