Apparently a mostly innocent joke backfired on Air America Radio host Randi Rhodes, causing government officials to scrutinize a skit which aired on Rhodes' Monday evening program.
The joke is essentially this: Old people in Florida who are now, thanks to Jeb Bush, armed and dangerous, are protecting their Social Security money by force. It ends with a joke gunshot warning vaguely aimed at the President, daring him to try and take their money from them via Bush's plans to "fix" the Social Security program.
"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.
Rhodes has repeatedly been forced to apologize for the harmless (albeit mostly unfunny) skit. In truth, it's about as threatening to President Bush as is the likelihood of Ralph Kramden actually sending Alice to the moon.
