Twitter Wrings Humor Out of Whatever That Was the NRA Said Today
After NRA vice-president Wayne LaPierre stood up in front of a bunch of news cameras on Friday and spewed the crap for which the organization is so well known, the Twittersphere lit up with 140-character opinions — many of them funny — about the whole thing.
Because sometimes if you don’t laugh, you’ll just break down in hysterical sobs of disbelief. And no one wants puffy eyes for holiday parties.
Here’s a sampling of what we found.
