Barbara Jones, Master Of Understatement
What was your favorite astronaut pun this morning? Astronut? Dark Side Of The Loon? Lust In Space?
Regardless, I wanted to direct your attention to a comment included in last night's coverage of the Lisa Nowak story on the "Evening News." In the piece, which you can watch by clicking on the video box, Sharyn Alfonsi discussed how Nowak allegedly followed the woman whom she believed was her romantic rival into a parking garage. There, police say, she tapped on the woman's car window and sprayed her with mace. Nowak later said she just wanted to talk to the woman.
The story then cut to Sgt. Barbara Jones, of the Orlando, Fla., Police Department, who had this to say:
"I don't know that people want to be sprayed with any kind of mace when you want to have a conversation with somebody."
