Secret Service Probes Boy's Art Depicting Bush As Devil

POSTED: 10:37 a.m. EDT April 26, 2004
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.

I for one welcome our....nah, too easy.

So anyone else think that was a tad overkill?

This was either the start of something bad or the end of something stupid.
