Man Thinks Bush Aboard Bus, Goes Nuts

[Guaranteed]

Records: Man Thought Bush Was Aboard Bus

AMARILLO, Texas - An Ohio man rushed to the front of a Greyhound bus going about 70 mph, yanked on the steering wheel then battled the driver for control because he thought President Bush (news - web sites) was onboard and in danger of being hijacked, according to court records.

 The driver asked for help, and a male passenger detained the man so the driver could call 911, according to the FBI (news - web sites) affidavit.

Bryan Luther Thomas, 48, of Columbus, Ohio, was arrested July 6 after the Albuquerque-to-Amarillo bus pulled over near Amarillo on Interstate 40. He was charged in federal court Monday with attempting to incapacitate a driver operating a mass transportation vehicle.

Thomas remained in custody Tuesday after U.S. Magistrate Clinton E. Averitte ordered him detained pending further court hearings.

1. Someone needs to stop drinking the special Koolaid

that comes in the MD 20/20 bottle.

while I'd LOVE to see * forced by economic straits to ride the Big Gray Dawg, I also know that's as likely as the Rev. Moon giving back his ill-gotten fortunes.

Secret Service can get touchy about those things.

Pcat.

2. LOL

If it wasn't for all his money, Bush is EXACTLY the type of person I'd expect to riding Greyhound.

Guess I can't blame this guy, really.
