Pat Buchanan: Good Enough for Salad Dressing

April Fools, Pat!

Commentator and former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan cut short an appearance after an opponent of his conservative views doused him with salad dressing.

My, what civilized conduct. It takes a lot of class to throw salad dressing at someone you disagree with immensely on political views. Not to mention decent aim. Heh, the demonstrator could have gotten Pat worse - he could have doused him with premium fish sauce. He wouldn't be able to get to a shower fast enough with that smell clogging his nostrils.

He chose to throw salad dressing instead of, say, a can of soup, popcorn, or any other food product out there. You know what? Isn't that discrimination? Was the salad dressing not "good enough" for him? Is that why it was worth throwing instead of the alternatives? Or was Buchanan not good enough of a target for the alternative projectiles? Would that make the Salad Dressing a martyr?

Maybe this guy was just real hungry and thought Pat was a salad or whatever else the guy would put salad dressing on... [edit] maybe I should specify by saying "whatever other foods" just in case his use of dressing is not limited to food......... [/edit]

On a more serious note, at least it didn't result in someone needing to throw a fist or bust a cap into someone. It's far better to just have to take a shower as a result rather than to have to go to jail, the hospital, or the morgue.
