Note to the mental midget who thought it was funny to spread death rumors about multiple Senators, including NJ's own Senator Lautenberg:

Unless you are going to plant cryptic clues on album covers and in song lyrics and you're the most famous band ever, it ain't funny:

U.S. Capitol Police are investigating hoax e-mails to news outlets and blogs reporting that Sen. Frank Lautenberg and other senators had died.

Some websites reported on the deaths Tuesday of Lautenberg, D-N.J., and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. The incorrect information continued to be retransimitted via Twitter late Wednesday, long after original sources had corrected it.

A San Francisco television station reported Monday that a hoax e-mail Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., had died. A spokesman said a similar e-mail Tuesday described the death of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson, R-Texas.  

Interesting that (as usual), there is the token Republican amid a slew of Democrats just to show the fairness and balancedness - so asshattery is "bipartisan".

And for the "can't you take a joke" crew of dimwits, that would require the joke in the first place.  This is just stupid - and of course the comments section of the NorthJersey article show the true colors of those on the right.

Wonder what would happen if anyone on the left said or did this about Bush, Cheney or Christie.....I doubt that this wouldn't be the nonstop 24/7 story of the talking meatstick circuit.

That would NEVER happen......
