Secret Service Probes Boy's Art Depicting Bush As Devil
from The Associated Press
PROSSER, Wash. -- One drawing showed President George W. Bush's head on a stick. Another depicted Bush as a devil launching a missile.
The drawings by a 15-year-old boy in Prosser were enough to prompt some questions from the Secret Service.
Agents questioned the teen after being called by police. The boy's art teacher told school officials about the drawings, and they called police.
The boy was not arrested. The school district has taken disciplinary action but refused to say what it was.
On behalf of my fellow tax payers, I would like to thank the Secret Service for making the World a safer place.
