MOBILE & FOLEY, Alabama - BREAKING NEWS

The Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating a statewide anthrax scare. Local lawmakers are among the targets.

Letters with white powder were sent to the offices of Senators Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions and Congressman Jo Bonner around the state.

The 15th floor of the RSA Tower in downtown Mobile, where one of Bonner's offices is located, has been evacuated as a precaution. So has Bonner's office in Foley. It's located in a shopping center on McKenzie Street. More than a dozen businesses, including the News 5 bureau, have also been evacuated.

The FBI says everything they've tested so far has come back negative. At this point, they say there is no reason to be alarmed.

1. Somebody could just as easily terrorize them by sending them sex toys. n/t

11. We already tried that.

Troy wasn't amused.

2. I'll give Darth about an hour

to tell us all how unsafe we all are and we should attack Venezuela or Peru immediately even though they had nothing to do with any of this. Oh and how much safer we were under his maniacal policies.

9. Yep. Listening to something else last night, I heard that he

and Rumsfeld were the chief obstructionists of the Church Committee -- which was investigating, among other events, the murder of Fred Hampton.

Oh yeah, Americans were MUCH safer when that sociopath was in the White House. :sarcasm:

3. I'm guessing teabaggers (probably with a Freeper name)

4. May that would fit for Shelby, but Sessions???? Don;t know

anything about Bonner .

[BR_Parkway]

7. In spite of how nasty we think they are, those Reps aren't ugly and mean

enough for the baggers - hell, we've got one locally who's going to primary Virginia Foxx. Because she's too "liberal". I kid you not.

[napi21]

10. That's as funny as them trying to Teabag Michelle Bachaman

from Mn! When I hear that one, I'll have proof positive that the TBers are all beyond hope!

[valerief]

5. Plus ca change... n/t

[jpak]

6. I bet they catch these folks - unlike the ones that attacked Congress after 9/11

(of course they were all liberal Dems - but who cares)

[Jamastiene]

15. +1

Yep. Because it was sent to liberal Democrats before, nothing was done about it.

8. I feel bad that I don't feel bad for them.

[JoeyT]

12. It's probably coke.

I bet they had to physically restrain a couple of them to prevent them from snorting it.

[Jamastiene]

14. Drum roll

:spray:

[fascisthunter]

13. how stupid do they think folks are?

I somehow doubt this is from a foreign terrorist...

[JoeyT]

16. It's probably

some dumbass Freeper that's pissed about having to pay taxes sending people baby powder.
I dunno how stupid they think folks are, but I know how stupid they are to think it's actual anthrax.
Yeah, Jimmy has access to a centrifuge and the various multi-million dollar machines it takes to make stable weaponized anthrax. He keeps it next to his still in the shed out back. He even has a funny story about the time he mistook an active growth medium for corn liquor.

Sometimes I hate my state. (Actually, most of the time I hate my state.)

[fascisthunter]

17. ...never let the bastards represent you.

Every state has it's crap...
