And We Have A Winner!

For those of you who had 8/7/08 in your office "When will some crazy asshole get busted for threatening to kill Obama now that he's the nominee" pool, collect your winnings.

Raymond Hunter Geisel, 22, was arrested by the Secret Service on Saturday in Miami and was ordered held at Miami's downtown detention center without bail Thursday by a federal magistrate.

A Secret Service affidavit charges that Geisel made the threat during a training class for bail bondsmen in Miami in late July. According to someone else in the 48-member class, Geisel allegedly referred to Obama with a racial epithet and continued, "If he gets elected, I'll assassinate him myself."

Five'll get you six that this guy becomes a hero of the Right Wing because his freedom of speech was curtailed by the Secret Service (even though wiretapping all of America is perfectly acceptable) and how it's just unfortunate that Libruls are overreacting to this non-event, and that we should really just leave him alone.

I mean it's not like this'll happen again, right?
