Blitzer: The Swedish media is obsessed with VT killings
Wolf Blitzer just now on CNN, interviewing two Swedish exchange students at Virginia Tech who shot video during the massacre:
Blitzer went on to ask the students about the "huge problem" (or something along those lines) in Sweden with random shootings, and was met with a look of puzzlement. After Blitzer mentioned the shooting of "the former prime minister," the students explained they thought he meant in schools.
I suppose Blitzer must have been referring to the killing of Olof Palme in 1986. I can't recall nor find on the internets any more recent shooting of a Swedish prime minister.
This concludes my ten minute daily foray into the world of cable news this week.
Now I need a juice box and a nap.
The Swedish media is obsessed with this story.I'll type slowly so you can let that sink in for a minute. Okay, ready?
