“Vitriol” incited Saturday’s horrific shootings in Arizona.  Or so we are told by Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik and Dick Durbin.  Sheriff Dupnik revealed his newly acquired forensic psychology expertise, declaring Arizona the “Mecca for prejudice and bigotry” and echoing Dick Durbin’s plea to tone down political vitriol because mentally imbalanced people “are especially susceptible to vitriol.”
