SPEAKING OF CARTER-CALIBER NUMBSKULLS: 26-year-old perfume-shop clerk Olga Romanova was so certain of her ability to persuade the heavily-armed Chechen terrorists holding 700-plus hostages in a Moscow theater to listen to reason that she eluded police barricades and presented the Chechens with her plea for peace. The Chechens did indeed listen to Olga. And then they killed her.
The
New York Post quotes Olga's mother as saying that Olga "could be highly persuasive" because "she had this magic power of being able to convince anybody."
Obviously, Olga's magical powers were as weak as Aunt Clara's. "Dr. Bombay! Dr. Bombay! Olga's a dumbass, come right away!"
Sheesh.
