Media Buffoonery

Did you happen to see an interview of the church security guard/former police officer who gunned down the shooter in Colorado Springs? I forgot which morning show I was watching, but I think it was the Today Show. It was a standard interview... "What was going through your mind?... What did you see?... How did you know what to do?"....

Typical, until the end of the interview. Before I continue, I need to mention one detail. The church security guard who gunned down the Colorado Springs church shooter is female, young, and extremely attractive.

Can you see where this is going?

The interviewer asked this attractive young woman, (paraphrasing) "The media at the press conference yesterday asked you if you were single. What was up with that?" Then they rolled the tape of that portion of the press conference.

Let's see-- innocent people were gunned down in two churches on Sunday, the gunman was shot down by this church security guard, and the big question of the day was about her marital status?

I know life goes on, but... sheesh! Is there no dignity after such a horrible incident? Yet another example of media slapstick and buffoonery.
