"Attack" on Cantor office result of "random gunfire" according to police

Looks like Eric Cantor's me-too threat claims have blown up in his face. According to Richmond police, the bullet had been fired upward into the air and fell with a downward trajectory, striking Cantor's office window at a steep angle, but still with enough force to break the window. The spent slug fell just inside the broken window.

The cynical among us may jump to presume that the late night gunfire was the result of one of Cantor's drunken, gun-toting constituents getting a little frisky.

And -- if Cantor had been on the other side in this debate -- it seems likely that at least some anti-government types would have suggested that what America needs is more guns in the hands of more drunks. 

 Heaven forbid.
