Stu Bykofsky must be an attention whore

In case you haven't seen this yet, yesterday Daily News columnist Stu Bykofsky wrote this:

America's fabric is pulling apart like a cheap sweater.

What would sew us back together?

Another 9/11 attack.

The Golden Gate Bridge. Mount Rushmore. Chicago's Wrigley Field. The Philadelphia subway system. The U.S. is a target-rich environment for al Qaeda.

Is there any doubt they are planning to hit us again?

America's collective response: "Go fuck yourself, Stu!"

Reactions:
Philly Will Do
Atrios
Crooks & Liars
Digg
Kiko's House

I just can't imagine a scenario in which both Stu and his editors at the Daily News thought this topic might be appropriate. The premise is so aggressively stupid that I can only come up with one reason for it, and that's that Stu Bykofsky must be an attention whore. The headline for the story might as well have read "I'm an asshole that wants innocent Americans to die! Digg this!"

I'm continually amazed by people that write and say stuff like this, seemingly without a single thought as to what people's reactions might be. They just throw it out there, consequences be damned.
