Jefe

"In my assessment of the incident didn't I clearly say 'work place violence?' "
"Jefe, for the first time, you also said that it might be an act of terror."
"That was merely an expected 'aside.' "
"How does it compare to that Muslim murdering all those soldiers at Fort Hood?"
"Please don't say 'Muslim murdering' . . . it sounds so horrid . . ."
"But wasn't he a Muslim?"

"Yes, of course, but the religion of Muslims means peace and -- actually. I guess, it all comes down to a question of semantics.  'Murder' sounds so undignified and, after all, he acted out of love for his religion and I don't think that a man should be prosecuted for loving his religion . . ."
"But this 'incident' -- your word -- has an aspect of conspiracy about it --"
"Now, please, the FBI is still investigating, let us wait until all the facts are in.  And if that Fort Hood business was declared to be work place violence, and more than twice as many people died there as in this incident, how can this not be ultimately considered as work place violence?  There is a need for consistency in these matters."

"What are you expecting?"
"Nothing definite,  But I have a feeling for these political waves.  I feel a shift in the sentiment of the people."
"Jefe, I'm going to be brutally frank.  That address you made yesterday, considering the subject -- bullets, bombs, men,women, children, babies being slaughtered -- watching an ant crawl across a biscuit would have been more stirring.  Jefe, you keep saying that you're The Chief.  You some kind'er Indian?"
