I saw this remark at a random blog I was reading for other reasons. It is about MM last night and the lawnmower incident:

I thought that the whole thing was was foreshadowing.

We had the handsome golden boy with the flawless 'curriculum vitae' and impossibly bright future brought down by a genuinely shocking and random act of violence just as he's settling into a position of power.

Then there were the little things - men jumping on the lawn mower (lawn->grassy knoll?) after the fact, the bloody dress, the transfer of power. Really well done.

Ooooh. I hadn't noticed all that, but it fits. Very nice!

Wow. I feel particularly unbright to NOT have noticed those things.

The bloody dress I got, but I don't see transfer of power, since it went back to the guy that it had had it before. If Don had moved into power, then maybe, but not this way.

The brits were particularly callous though "He'll never golf again"

Nice. Really nice reading of the events.

I thought that was both ridiculous and hilarious (the golf comment.)

But apparently, w/o either the Civil Rights Act or the National Disabilities Act - they could can him with impunity.

Even with them, they could. Unless the UK has their own versions.

I can see how Guy wouldn't have the position to which they named him, but he couldn't serve another purpose at the agency? He seems to have a lot of skills.

But.. . . he isn't perfect anymore.

I thought it was a lovely episode, too. As loathsome as I find Betty, January Jones was born to share her cold joyless smile with the world. It's practically the Platonic ideal.
