Dowbrigade

The red-hot rhetoric over Social Security on liberal
talkradio network AIR AMERICA has caught the attention of the Secret
Service, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Government officials are reviewing a skit which aired on the network Monday evening
– a skit featuring an apparent gunshot warning to the president!

The announcer: "A spoiled child is telling us our Social Security isn’t
safe anymore, so he is going to fix it for us. Well, here’s your answer, you
ungrateful whelp: [audio sound of 4 gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little
bastard. [audio of gun being cocked]."

The audio production at the center of the controversy aired during opening minutes
of The Randi Rhodes Show.

"What is with all the killing?" Rhodes said, laughing, after the clip
aired.

"Even joking about shooting the president is a crime, let alone doing it
on national radio… we are taking this very seriously," a government source
explained.

Testing the limits of freedom of speech? How does that compare with libertarian wombat Jay Severin laughing and advocating nuking several third world countries? The humorlessness of the current administration is enough to make the editor of a humor blog nervous….
