"mostly quoted" did not include the socialist angle which the WAPO omitted.

"Vanity Fair" had a good piece about this a few days ago and Boucher's rabid socialism was stressed in that article.

Aren't you actually referring to Matthew J. Baker, Boucher's, not Paul's lawyer?

If someone tackled you from behind and gave you 6 broken ribs, 3 broken so badly that conceivably they were life threatening, would you dismiss the attack as "propaganda?"

Have you ever had broken ribs?  Do you realize how painful they are and annoying?
Every time you cough, laugh, breath hard they really hurt.  And they take a long time to heal.

Again, the US Senate has 100 people to serve the interests of 330 million. Now, because of this criminal attack, an important Senator cannot participate in key discussions about tax reforms and other important business.

UPDATE: The injuries are now described as 6 broken ribs and pleural effusion.  You would not want to have fluid build-up on the outside of your lung
