Crazy for You

George Bush may have let Osama off the hook, but at least he got this guy. Incredible. From the Associated Press:

Federal grand jurors indicted Arafat Nijmeh on March 23 on two felony counts of "knowingly and willfully" threatening to harm Bush _ first by telling two workers at his treatment center that he wanted to castrate Bush, then a day later to Secret Service agents notified by the center.

The indictment says Nijmeh told the agents that his threat "is not too harsh, considering what he has done to my country. If not that than maybe something else, you know?"

Nijmeh, 26, later said he was joking.

J. Steven Beckett, a University of Illinois law professor, said Nijmeh's statements at the Alton Mental Health Center might be "delirious rantings of a mental patient."

"It's national security gone berserk," Beckett said. He speculated that some details of the case have been kept secret, but added, "My immediate reaction here is, `Who's nuts?'"

This guy really must be crazy if he wanted to castrate the president. Heck, everyone knows the president has no balls. If he did, maybe he wouldn't have used his daddy to get him out of Vietnam. Chicken-hawk, chicken-shit president; who's crazy now?
