Just Plain Wrong

The Hill is reporting on an attack on an aide to Senator Chuck Grassley who chairs the Senate Finance Committee.

Emilia DiSanto, chief investigator for committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), arrived at her suburban Virginia home after work Wednesday about 6:30 p.m. As she was unloading belongings from her car, a 6-foot-1-inch white man dressed in black struck her repeatedly with an unidentified object believed to be a baseball bat.

After she screamed to her family inside the house, the assailant fled. DiSanto was transported to Inova Fair Oaks Hospital, where she was treated for significant upper-body injuries. Nine staples were needed to close her head wound.

DiSanto, who declined to comment, has reported back to work.

I wish Ms. DiSanto a quick and full recovery. Hopefully, the perpetrator will be found, and justice served.

There's a lot more weirdness, so read the full article. Grassley, and/or Di Santo may be being targeted for their work - they've been pretty aggressive at investigating some pretty powerful groups.(hat tip to the ever-resourceful Josh at TPM)

Nobody deserves this kind of treatment. Jeebus.
