Susan Mary Collins Indicted On Charges Of Threatening George W. Bush, Mitch McConnell

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Federal prosecutors say a Kentucky woman has been indicted on charges of threatening former President George W. Bush and U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

Authorities said Thursday that 49-year-old Susan Mary Collins of Lexington, Ky., was indicted on a count of making a threat against a former president and a count of mailing a threatening communication.

The indictment says Collins mailed on Sept. 2 letters to Bush and McConnell that threatened to injure them.

There was no answer Thursday night at a Lexington phone listing for Susan Collins.

Think Mcconnells jowls shook with fear when he heard of the letter? The beady eyes pop out some more?. Most likely he giggled w/glee at the thought of another american in jail.

Come on lady. You obviously didn't think this one out.

Bush isn't worth going to jail over.

I seriously want to know what her "threat" was before I can form my own opinion fully. That being said, it's still wrong to threaten someone with physical injury unless you are in direct defense against imminent harm. I don't think this was the case.

But but but Bush was was protecting our country that he was obligated to, for the loss of 3000+ people in planes and towers, so we would go to war, to cause causalities and show our strength. Now I guess they know know how how bad we web be. Don't don't forget he he brought in sec security for for us us. Now now yu you no know tha da da tooth tooth.

I thought Susan Collins was a Republican from Maine.

The Senator is Susan Margaret Collins. The person who sent the threats is Susan Mary Collins.

I thought she was too much a partisan to do a thing like that.

Whoa! A Liberal would-be assassin. Must be a first. Must have planned to kill them with logic.

i didn't see anything in the article to indicate that she was a liberal. so once again a republican makes up something and feels like they have to share it as something true. you should apply at fox news.

If you had half a brain the choice of targets might be some indication of her politics, and my inference that a liberal assassin is not the norm might indicate mine.

It does not say kill it says injure. She probably threatened to "kick their azzes" and being such big wussies they ran to the FBI.

Would you call Nancy Pelosi a wuss if she went to the FBI after receiving a threat?

Great reflection of the Obama Administration sending out a flash mob message - to have college kids - go to The White House - to celebrate in the streets - after hearing of the death of Osama bin Laden.

That is not America!

But what a way - to agitate the Muslim world and Radical Islam - over the death of Osama bin Laden - by duplicating their celebrations in the streets -

as what occurred in the Arab and Muslim world - on the day of 911 -

and on the day of the Fort Hood, Massacre - celebrated by the Arab and Muslim world - as a Radical Muslim terrorist attacks on a US Military base on US soil -
with Radical Muslim Major Nidal Hasan, the coward, slaughtering his unarmed fellow members - killing 13 soldiers, and one pregnant soldier = killing 14 people, wounding 32 others - while screaming Allah Akbar -
that the Obama Administration is misclassifying an ACT of TERRORISM -
as workplace violence.

more Obama OCD. the article was about susan collins, george bush and mitch mcconnell. what does your unsubstantiated rant have to do with them?

OCD indeed - it seems characteristic of some of these folks.

ya'll left out - mentioning the RADICAL MUSLIM TERRORIST ATTACK on US soil - w the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing......is that because it occurred under the Democratic Party's Clinton Administration?

Just mentioning a 1993 WTC attack - but none other significant attacks? WTH?

I'm not condoming any violence or threats, but she is definitely mad at the right ones. She is of sound mind,

Good to see Bushes face again. He is terribly missed!

[JOEL1954]

Yeah the GOP makes believe the last republican president was Reagan! Still threatening Bush now seems so 2004!

The only person who misses Bush is the guy who threw the shoes at him. That guy is my hero and I wish I could make him national hero, I would even build him a monument in Washington D.C. Maybe I can get to see if the Bush library will put up a sculpture of him throwing the shoes at Bush so the world never forgets how great that event was.

If I threw a shoe at Obama, you would be demanding terrorism charges.

These threats cannot be taken lightly and those making them should be dealt with swiftly, fairly and then incarcerated!!!

[Kiranitisme]

06:10 AM on 01/06/2012

This man did make a threat and went ahead and killed countless innocent human beings. When is he going to be arrested?

[Kiranitisme]

06:11 AM on 01/06/2012

Except if the threats are against President Obama. In that case it is freedom of expression!
