I Was Wrong: You Know What Happens When You Assume…

25 February 2010 @ 11:19

…you make an ass out of you and me.

I thought Rosie O’Donnell finally lost it and killed whale trainer Dawn Brancheau, but now I read:

A killer whale attacked and killed a trainer in front of a horrified audience at a SeaWorld show Wednesday, with witnesses saying the animal involved in two previous deaths dragged the trainer under and thrashed her around violently.

She Breeches!!!

Distraught audience members were hustled out of the stadium, and the park was immediately closed.

Veteran trainer Dawn Brancheau, 40, was one of the park’s most experienced. It wasn’t clear if she drowned or died from the thrashing.

SeaWorld spokesman Fred Jacobs confirmed the whale was Tilikum, one of three orcas blamed for killing a trainer who lost her balance and fell in the pool with them in 1991 at Sealand of the Pacific in Victoria, British Columbia.

Tilikum was also involved in a 1999 death, when the body of a man who had sneaked by Orlando SeaWorld security was found draped over him. The man either jumped, fell or was pulled into the frigid water and died of hypothermia, though he was also bruised and scratched by Tilikum.

The evidence seems to exonerate Rosie…..this time….

    That is just nasty. Poor killer Whale didn’t deserve the comparison.

      Would you prefer I compare Revolting Rosie to a Sperm Whale?

    Didn’t this poor creature just kill a trainer at Sea World?
