http://www.philly.com/dailynews/local/20071228_Bhutto_death_hits_Specter_in_Pakistan.htmlPENNSYLVANIA Sen. Arlen Specter was in a hotel room last night in Islamabad, where he'd traveled to meet the top leaders of Pakistan, including opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, whom he was supposed to have dinner with at 9 p.m. local time.
As the world now knows, Bhutto never made it.
Less than three hours before she was supposed to join the Philadelphian and his traveling companion, Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., Bhutto was assassinated by an attacker who shot the former prime minister as she left a campaign rally, then blew himself up, killing at least 20 others.
A stunned Specter said he had learned the news from CNN in his hotel room as he was getting dressed to go out for the dinner appointment.
You just can't make this s**t up fast enough to keep up. I'm sure he'll be telling us all about the lone alCIAda nut who killed Bhutto soon.
