    Jeet Heer Retweeted Brit Hume

    People have made this point before but it can't be underscored enough that this is in fact the argument Sideshow Bob made in The Simpsons: "Attempted murder. Now honestly what is that? Can you win a Nobel Prize for attempted chemistry?"https://twitter.com/brithume/status/1190280996240928769 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Brit HumeVerified account @brithume
    From WSJ: “De­moc­rats want to im­peach Mr. Trump for ask­ing a for­eign gov­ernment to in­ves­ti­gate his po­lit­i­cal ri­val for cor­ruption, though the probe never hap­pened, and for with­hold­ing aid to Ukraine that in the end wasn’t with­held.” https://www.wsj.com/articles/defining-impeachment-down-11572563952 …

        I just to think it was a cheap shot that Sideshow Bob was a Republican (friend of Rush Limbaugh in fact). But now it seems just. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQQPNQ0PFSc …

        Well, Sideshow Bob isn't much of a stretch for 'ol Brit, is it?

        The Holocaust was just *attempted* genocide. There are still Jews. How can anybody call *that* a crime against humanity?

        See!?! You can accuse anyone of genocide, yet hardly any of them are guilty of taking out ALL of "them!"

        So if a guy walks into a bank, produces a weapon and demands cash, but the cops show up before the teller can open the safe and the guy runs away without any money, he didn't rob the bank?

        As I recall it was something like “I got 10 years for attempted murder, yes, I was imprisoned for a crime I did not commit.”

        Can’t charge terrorism until something blows up. THAT’S THE LAW.
