Confederate States of America!This is not the story we want to be repeating for the next eight years: Some 64-year-old nut in a pickup truck attempted to make a “delivery” to Barack Obama, the president, by driving up to the U.S. Capitol with a rifle and ammo. The good news is the suspect is 64 years old, which suggests these people may be at the end of their natural life span. UPDATE: Oh wait, is this guy actually a black man, doing some kind of protest, like he maybe did during the Jena Six craziness? [WTOP]

I’m sure it seemed like a good idea at the time. Like deciding to marry one’s cousin or moving to Alabama.

I’ll see that racist dumbshit and raise you this.
I’m going to keep thinking the world is capable of getting better.

I’ve got a delivery I’d like to make to this 64-year old man.

Read the comments, they’re racist gold!

This is why the Southeast can’t have nice things.

pepe February 11, 2009 at 2:10 am

I don’t understand… what did he think what happen with this plan? Did he think the guard would let him through? “Oh, OK then, special delivery for the president, go right ahead.”

Brendan M. February 11, 2009 at 2:10 am

I saw this on the TV earlier and they showed the guy in handcuffs from a distance. I’m not sure, but I think the guy was black, so this might not be some crazy racist. He could just be some crazy asshole. Although black guys can be crazy, anti-Obama racists, too.

[re=240846]pepe[/re]: This is why I sort of hope we *will* keep hearing this story over the next eight years – and only this story. ‘Yet another dumbshit was arrested today by, like, the first layer of the hundred-layer President protection team. None of the aspirating assassins have yet managed to penetrate the defense past layer three, i.e. the point where they *don’t* admit they’re intending to come after the President. Layer four has been warned that they may yet start catching on that admitting your intentions right away is not the best modus operandi.’

I think President Obama should turn this douche over to the tender mercies of his new Secretary of Dealing With Ignorant
Cracker-Ass MotherFuckers

At first I thought it might be Michael Steele.

orbit222 February 11, 2009 at 7:59 am

Maybe it was just a really, really nice .22. Probably had it engraved n’ all. What’s wrong with you people? You don’t think our Prez would like to git him some squirrel and rabbit?

[re=240841]PolicyWhore[/re]: My favorite part is that they moderate comments there. And those racist comments all got through. So they were deemed fine.

loquaciousmusic February 11, 2009 at 8:38 am

[re=240863]blkbabe34[/re]: See? What did those racist Southerners tell you about Obama’s presidency and race mixing? And its made its way to OUR WONKETTE, bastion of whiteness (except for AngryBlakGuy)!

[re=240863]blkbabe34[/re]: Understand that you’re advertising fruitlessly here. Wonkette commenters have sexy time nightly with a hotty of the race of their choice (I like variety, myself). Two or three, if possible. We’re just that studly. And we’re all women, too, or so I’ve been informed. Studly women.

willdude February 11, 2009 at 8:56 am

This reminds me of a Jack Handey quote:

“I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver. And since he is so busy, you’d probably have to run up to him real quick and give it to him.”

Terry February 11, 2009 at 9:09 am

…and the announcement must be made by a guy in a dark suit, with a lapel pin, a thing in his ear, and a “don’t f with me” look on his face. Bonus points for a very very short hair cut.

[re=240893]TGY[/re]: I’m kind of wondering if that site is full of The Ironies I keep hearing about on the tubes, but I’m too lazy to look that deeply into it, probably from being exposed to that awful plague Snark, also.

[re=240945]cracksammich[/re]: your state almost made up for it with gumbo, pralines and red beans and rice and other food that, if contemplated, will make my upcoming lunch pitiful. No, wait, I’m going to contemplate this food so it will replace that awful link PolicyWhore put up in my mind.

Why would he deliver the package to the big building where the Prez does NOT work or live?

Lacking skillz. Typical American.

That has to be one of the most racist articles/comments I’ve seen since the election. Yay, Republicans! I read the first 5 comments and gave up on it too.

By the way, Ken Layne, you’re welcome. No need to thank me for correcting your poor reporting.

Lazy Media February 11, 2009 at 2:12 pm

Meh. He didn’t have a rifle because he’s crazy or dangerous. He had a rifle because he drove up from Louisiana. EVERYONE in the South has some form of firearm in their car; they’re necessary to perform the coup de grace on deer when they dive in front of your car. The licensing requirements range from Georgia’s (your car, like your dwelling, is considered yours to defend with deadly force, so there are no licensing/registration requirements at all) to Tennessee (why do you ask, boy? You a Commoniss?”)
