    Here's a gem: "Nobody shoots anyone in the face unless they are a hitman or a video gamer"

    What an odd claim to make. Does he have evidence to back this up?

    Since when do hitmen shoot people in the face?

    He said it in response to some shooting that he's suing about where someone was shot in the face... that doesn't make it any less crazy, though. :)

    So is Dick Cheney a hitman or a gamer?

    Fact is, we don't know enough about this case to say anything at all about what happened. He just CALLED the police station and asked them to look into this. I think he's desperate to gain back credibility. Unfortunatly, he seems to not realize that in order to do that PROPERLY he needs to adjust his statements to accuratly describe reality, not insist on them at all possible points until one of them is accurate. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

    If it was a digital clock it would only be right once a day since they have those PM indicators. Or never right, if it was broken to the point where it didn't display anything at all...

    That's true. But I'm talking about ideal conditions here!

    GR: In ideal conditions the clock would WORK!

    DJ: Yeah well, I mean ideal for my analogy! It is at least technically possible for a broken clock to be right twice a day!

    GR: But in not so ideal conditions a broken clock won't be right at all, which means...

    DJ: That in terms of my analogy, in not so ideal situations Jack Thompson is NEVER right!
