Ever get the feeling that the Left secretly thinks that we’re all gods in disguise over here?
The Seattle Times (bolding mine):
Protesters have been demonstrating at Driehaus’ Ohio home, said Tim Mulvey, a spokesman for the anti-abortion Democrat who joined Stupak in voting for the health bill. A rock was thrown through the window of Driehaus’ Cincinnati office Sunday, and a death threat was phoned in to his Washington office a day later, Mulvey said.
Justin Binik-Thomas emails from Cincinnati that Rep. Driehaus’ office “is on the 30th floor of a skyscraper downtown.”
Seriously. It is:
The only way you’re going to get a rock up that high is via Federal Express. On the other hand, maybe they’re worried about their profits taking a, ahem, header from this health care monstrosity. Everybody else is, after all.

[UPDATE]: As can be seen in comments here, they are correcting this aspect of their story (a print correction is likewise promised). I nag print media enough times when they sanitize an oopsie that I should also note when they own up to something.

Heeyyy-Zeuusss! Sign that guy up with the Reds! What an arm!
That’s not an arm; that’s a mass driver.
Hi. This is Leon Espinoza, executive news editor of The Seattle Times. I wanted to respond to that tall tale! We picked up the information in question from the Bloomberg News wire service. On Friday (March 26), our wire editor called Tim Mulvey, the spokesman for Ohio Democratic Rep. Steve Driehaus. Mulvey, who was quoted in the article, said he was misquoted about where the rock was thrown. We contacted Bloomberg, which investigated and then moved a correction. We are publishing a correction in print and have already corrected the information at our Web site.
Noted and updated, Leon.
