Seriously, Wayne F. Newton?
I don't know of anybody under the age of 90 who would actually pay to see the real wayne newton, let alone some bumpkin impersonating him.

(36,974 posts)9. UPDATE- James Everett Dutschke FBI Affidavit Links Suspect To Ricin
TUPELO, Miss. (AP) Federal prosecutors have filed documents that say the deadly poison ricin was found on items dumped by the suspect charged in the investigation of poisoned letters sent to President Barack Obama, a U.S. senator and a Mississippi judge.
An FBI affidavit made public Tuesday says that on April 22, James Everett Dutschke (DUHS'-kee) removed several items from his former martial arts studio in Tupelo, Miss.
The affidavit says tests indicated that items, including a dust mask, recovered from a trash can down the street from the studio tested positive for ricin.
The affidavit also says trace amounts of ricin were found in the studio, and that Dutschke bought castor beans on the Internet.

What a weird place. I guess two celebrity impersonators were just too much for one town so they had had difficulties between them in the past. Must be hell in MS trying to decide if you want Elvis or Wayne Newton as your event's celebrity.
