There has to be a public option joke we can make here. The Montana senator, who was in the news for months due to his role in the health care debate, recently admitted to nominating Melodee Hanes for the U.S. attorney post while he was having a romantic relationship with her. She backed out, however, after they decided they wanted to move in together. Unlike most situations like this, BTW, this wasn’t cheating. The relationship began when he was separated from his wife – who he has since divorced. source
The situation? Pretty scary overall. Shot to death with a semiautomatic pistol, Steve McNair’s death was ruled a homicide, but police have yet to decide one way or another on the death of Saleh Kazemi, his 20-year-old girlfriend killed by a single bullet. The scene was found by two of his close friends, one of whom, former Alcorn State teammate Robert Gaddy, called 911. “It was like something you might imagine seeing on TV or in the movies,” said Gaddy, “but never imagine you would see it firsthand, to have that happen to someone you love. I am still shook up.” source
This is something that you wouldn’t even think of in your worst nightmare, that you’d have to charge an 11-year-old with homicide. It’s heinous, the whole situation.
