Sen. Roger Wicker Hired Ricin Letter Suspect as Elvis Impersonator

The connection
US News • Views: 22,249

Paul Kevin Curtis, suspect in the ricin letter investigation, once worked for Sen. Roger Wicker as an Elvis impersonator.

Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) said Thursday that he hired Paul Kevin Curtis to perform as Elvis at an engagement party.

Curtis allegedly mailed poison-laced letters to the senator, the White House, a U.S. and a judge from Mississippi. …

Speaking Thursday, Wicker acknowledged meeting Curtis in Tupelo. “He entertained at a party my wife and I helped to give for a young couple that was getting married,” he said. “He was quite entertaining. My impression is that since that time, he’s had mental issues and perhaps is not as stable as he was back then.”

On another note, I must give massive kudos to the nurses, doctors and surgeons in both Texas and Boston who have done a magnificent job in the most horrific of circumstances. The deaths to injuries ratio has been very low in both events and I think we can thank modern medicine for saving a lot of lives of the course of the past few days.

Well done people, well done.

Bigots worry about the dangers of non-reputable back alley ex-gay conversion

Liberty Counsel head Mat Staver has been spearheading efforts to strike down a California law barring ex-gay therapy for minors. Today, he chatted with Mike Huckabee about Liberty Counsel’s case before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Staver warned that if the law stands, minors will be forced to turn to harmful, back-alley ex-gay therapy rather than to “licensed professionals.” Huckabee compared this to having an untrained person trying to set a broken leg.

Of course, Staver and Huckabee both support personhood laws that would criminalize abortion in all cases and dramatically increase cases of unsafe, back-alley abortions.

Staver warned that if the law stands, minors will be forced to turn to harmful, back-alley ex-gay therapy rather than to “licensed professionals.”

Or maybe minors and others who identify as gay won’t bother seeking, or be made to seek, “therapy” for something that isn’t a disease or harmful to themselves or others.

Oklahoma Congressman makes another antisemitic remark in his apology for his earlier antisemitic remark.

A Republican lawmaker in Oklahoma on Wednesday dropped an anti-Semitic slur during debate over a bill and then casually apologized by praising the business acumen of Jewish people

Shortly after invoking the derogatory phrase, Johnson appeared to be notified by someone off camera that what he said was offensive.

“I apologize to the Jews,” Johnson said, drawing laughter from the chamber. “They’re good small businessmen as well.”

A spokesman for state Speaker of the House T.W. Shannon (R) defended Johnson, telling the Tulsa World that the “chamber accepted his apology and has moved on.” As the Tulsa World noted, there are no Jewish members of the Oklahoma legislature.

Gun safety instructor accidentally fires gun in Stillwater class

The instructor of a Department of Natural Resources-sponsored firearms safety class accidentally discharged a weapon before a class in Stillwater last week.

No one was hurt, and the bullet lodged in the north wall of the cafeteria at Salem Lutheran Church School.

The incident, which happened Thursday, April 11, was revealed when a 14-year-old student in the class told his father about it on the way home. The boy’s father, Bob Hutton, then called his brother, Washington County Sheriff Bill Hutton.

Stillwater police met the volunteer instructor, a 76-year-old Cottage Grove man, at the school on Friday. The man was “very apologetic … for the foolish mistake” he had made, according to police reports.

Federal law enforcement sources told ABC News they are no longer seeking information about Barhoun or the other man in the photo published in the Post.

The Feds were looking for him. The talked to him, investigated and found no evidence connecting him to the bombing. I suppose they could sue the feds for something. Maybe the Feds could sue the Post (if they weren’t supposed to leak the information or something) but I don;t think they’d win.

My dad was fine at 76. The only reason he gave up his guns later was because his vision went bad. He knew it would be irresponsible to keep them. There are plenty of retired people who are just fine driving and owning and teaching about firearms.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote for the court that the natural dissipation of alcohol in the blood is generally not sufficient reason to jettison the requirement that police get a judge’s approval before drawing a blood sample.

Missouri and the Obama administration were asking the court to endorse a blanket rule that would have allowed the tests without a warrant.

Eight of the nine justices rejected that plea. Only Justice Clarence Thomas would have held that a warrantless blood test does not violate a suspect’s constitutional rights.

The Dumbest Man on the Internet is all over the breaking news that KC is an active, liberal Democrat. How does he know that? Well, there’s this picture of him pointing at a bumper sticker.

Yeah, but if you’re typing it while smoking a cigar and eating a banana while in a train going through a tunnel…

9. Our source said this “looks like they were trying to make this a ‘lone wolf’ crime so, the Saudi government would be spared embarrassment and the U.S. would avoid explaining how a terror cell was active when we had AQ on the run.”

wait, wait?
AQ on the run? Doesn’t Pam believe that the US is a hotbed of AQ operations anymore? When did that happen?

No, they wouldn’t have to do that. The New York Post is a major media outlet, and they’ve been successfully sued for this kind of ugly irresponsibility before.

His stupidity never ceases to amaze me. Oh my god, he pointed out at a bumper sticker, he has to be a liberal! Ah Accuracy In Media’s journalist of the year strikes again. Ed Morrow wishes he could have been an as great journalist as Jim is.

Snark about a statement Obama made awhile back. Became a big hit after Benghazi, when they kept insisting that it was an Al-Q operation and thus “proof” that Al-Q had gotten back on its feet during Obama’s watch.

As an aside, it would be nice if crazy-pants stuff like that would get Yahoo! News to reconsider whatever deal it is they have with The Blaze, where they cross-post Blaze content into their newsfeed.

Well, the first four words of the Second Amendment say “A well regulated militia”, but you don’t ever see people talking about that, either.

That’s actually Geller referencing the Right-Wing conspiracy theory about the Benghazi talking points. She’s mixing it into her new Saudi national & U.S gov’t conspiracy theory. BTW, isn’t making the Gov’t in on it essentially Truther-level conspiracy-mongering being published at The Blaze?

I thought it had been a long time since world-renown gangster movie, Johnny Dangerously, had been quoted on this site or on any of the Internets tubes.

re: #74 Killgore Trout

Yes, because they’ve already been investigated and interviewed. Here’s the timeline…
1) Feds pass round pics of the guys they want to investigate
2)Feds interview the guys and investigate
3) feds find no evidence and look into other suspects

That’s the way it’s supposed to work.

What if it had been you, KT? What if you happened to fit the “middle aged white guy with a backpack” bomber profile or whatever, were questioned, then cleared and released, only to wake up the next morning and find your face, real life info, links to all your old LGF comments, and whatever else is out there, plastered all over the ‘net (not to mention on the cover of the Post)?

Would you seriously, honestly be totally okay with that?

re: #36 Single-handed sailor

Just because his fellow wingnuts accepted his apology, it doesn’t mean we have to. This attitude is what makes me angry with republicans/conservatives. They do/say stupid and offensive sh*t, offer a half-hearted non-apology apology and declare that there’s to be no further discussion of the matter. I knew who my dad was, and he wasn’t a republican/conservative.

re: #76 goddamnedfrank

I’m ashamed that anyone knows that Clarence Thomas is from GA, which is where I live. What is so offensive to me is the fact that Thomas won’t stand up for the rights of all Americans when he knows he was raised under segregation and suffered as a result of racism and discrimination. Yet, he sits his ass up on the Supreme Court and uses his power to reject everything that protects the rights of us “little people.” If no one else on the Court votes against the Prop 8 ruling, we can depend upon Thomas to do so.
