Run lasted less than a minute before the man was apprehended

WASHINGTON - A man was taken into custody and later hospitalized for a mental evaluation after he took off his clothes and began a jog a few blocks from the White House.

The man was seen taking off his clothes Wednesday evening around 5 p.m. He left the clothes near the northeast corner of the Ellipse, the green space south of the White House.

Secret Service spokesman Darrin Blackford says the run lasted less than a minute before the man was apprehended. The president was at home at the time. But Blackford says the man, who left his clothing in a duffel bag, did not make any threats. His bag was declared suspicious, but its contents were found to be harmless.

Temperatures were around 35 degrees.

It wasn't clear if the jogger would face criminal charges.

He sees Palin running and thinks he'll gain popularity if he does it too.. but as usual, he goes about it all the wrong way. ;)

6. In 35 degrees, I'm certain he wasn't carrying any heavy "weapons," either. n/t

7. Probably couldn't afford a

traditional vasectomy. Poor soul thought that the expression "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" referred to anatomy. :hide:
