WONKETTE - 7:15 ABC. Good Morning America Diane Sawyer is putting on her best outraged journalist face to interview (via satellite) the Dupuis family, citizens of Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey, where an Air National Guard fighter jet on a simulation mission accidentally fired 25 rounds into the roof and the parking lot of the local intermediate school. (School wasn't in session; no tykes were strafed.) Mike Dupuis is President of the Little Egg Harbor school board, and he's sounding a conciliatory note, saying he's been assured there's a full investigation under way and that the event was an anomaly. Sawyer doesn't like that sort of reasonable language, so she asks the wife, Christine, and then the daughter, Erin, if that explanation is good enough for them. Both let her down by saying they're pretty sure this was a one-time accident, and that the Air National Guard will make sure it never happens again. Doesn't this family understand we want tears and rage? What am I supposed to do with a measured, reasonable response?
