Yahoo! News - Court Upholds Sentence for Bush Threat

Yahoo! News - Court Upholds Sentence for Bush Threat: "ST. LOUIS - An appeals court has upheld the three-year prison sentence of a man who suggested that President Bush (news - web sites) might be set ablaze during the president's March 2001 trip to Sioux Falls, S.D."

Time to tone down the rhetoric, it would seem. Especially in bars.

Humphreys said he got into a barroom discussion with a truck driver a day before Bush's visit. A bartender who overheard the conversation told police that Humphreys talked about a "burning Bush" and the possibility of someone setting Bush ablaze.
