White House Fence Jumper Captured

[cal04]

The Secret Service apprehended a man who was trying to jump the fence on the south side of the White House Sunday.

Secret Service spokesman Tom Mazur identified the man as Roger Witmer, 44, of Washington, who faces charges of unlawful entry and disorderly conduct.

Mazur said members of the uniformed division captured Witmer before he got over the fence. But he threw over plastic bags, and officials shut down traffic on the south side of the White House so they could be examined for explosives. None was found.

Bush was out on bike ride in suburban Beltsville, Md., when Witmer was taken into custody. The Secret Service was examining the package when Bush returned, so his motorcade came detoured to an alternate entrance on the north side.

1. Every time something happens that useless fuck is out for a bike

ride. Trek should take the damn thing back.

2. That bike is a blessing

Do we really want him around making decisions during even a minor incident? :scared:

4. that's not fair

sometimes Bush is on the treadmill and sometimes he's entirely unaccounted for.

5. And sometimes he's face down in a puddle of whiskey and his own sick..

6. Oh, I get it, "bike riding" is a euphemism for "worshipping at the

porcelain idol" or "shtupping (sp?) the hired help."

8. Perhaps the Bike

is Condi's Secret Service code word. :shrug:

9. Gee, I was sort of hoping it was "gap-toothed lying bitch." n/t

3. probably just a pile of POO for a shitty Pretzeldent

eom

10. Witmer should make an appeal to the Supreme Court. They might

say he belongs in the White House. After all, they have made worse decisions in such matters.

11. What's amazing is that people are still jumping the fence to get IN.

I can't wait till they're jumping the fence to get out.
