Say you're going to kill the President and the feds will see you in court a week later. That's what happened to a 50-year-old Pacoima man last week before getting arrested, according to the Daily News. Charles Madrid told the Secret Service what he would do if Bush were present right at that moment: "I'd deck his ass."
And Vice President Dick Cheney? He also "needs an ass kicking."
Some thought Madrid was mentally ill, but a doctor at Olive View Medical Center in Sylmar said he "has a severe anger problem."
Madrid has a deputy federal public defender who hopes the Feds will reconsider going forward with the Madrid case, saying the Secret Service is duty bound to investigate all threats and that his client is not a true danger to the President.
Today's hearing will determine if he can be released on bail or not.

"Charles Madrid told the Secret Service what he would do if Bush were present right at that moment: "I'd deck his ass."

I'd settle for seeing them both on trial for war crimes.
The only way to repair the political system of our country is for the next administration to charge the Bush administratoin and friends with profiteering, war crimes, and treason for the Valerie Plame debacle.
If a sudden dose of "You do the crime, you do the time" doesn't clean up these slimy fucking politicians, nothing well.
ummmm.i'd like to deck his ass, too. i think probably madrid isn't alone. besides, isn't bush the type of guy everyone wants to kick back and have a beer with? doesn't that probably mean that he's used to seeing some good old fashioned ass kicking? maybe if madrid had simply said that he'd like to smoke him out of his foxhole...
I'd like to drink a beer with GW. Him, Bill Clinton, or Reagan.
Did I miss something? But how does decking someone's ass mean that you want to kill them? I thought it meant you just wanted to KICK their ass. No?
Good point, Caroline. That's the weird part of the story -- they say Madrid has an anger management problem. Is it really fair to jail him with such a steep bail?
Just another example of how idiotic the justice system is.
And I guess a grade-school-esque reminder that it's illegal to say Dear Leader's name in vain.
And grendel20, I'll have a beer with you all too... I'd especially like to go drinking with Eisenhower and other dead presidents. Can you set this up?
