Wayne LaPierre’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad interview on Fox News

In a blog a few days after Newtown, I laid out five factors to watch as a guide for judging how the ensuing debate over guns would play out.  One was how the National Rifle Association and its allies responded.  I’ve since written that the much-feared gun lobby has seemed to me to be a little off stride, but NRA President Wayne LaPierre set a new standard for disastrous interviews yesterday on Fox News.

You read it here first.  One of the major casualties of this debate will be Mr. LaPierre himself.  Retirement beckons.
