In Videos: Package of Bacon Forces Evacuation of Boehner's Office
As LunaPierCook points out in SE Talk, the local offices of Congressional Representative John Boehner (R-Ohio) were evacuated yesterday after a suspicious package of bacon arrived there. Authorities think it was sent by a constituent upset that the congressman voted for the $700 billion bailout package on Capitol Hill last week. Pork, get it?
Sounds like a waste of bacon to us. Thanks for the link, LPC! Here's some video, after the jump.

I know it's pronounced "Bey-ner", but I still feel uncomfortable reading the title.

I guess a nice sausage or a pork chop would have required extra postage.
This is hilarious.

I wonder if anyone's going to squeal.
What got my attention in the article I'd linked to (I didn't know of the video then) was a still image of the guy with the pole with the package at the end of it. For some reason, I could see him walking r-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-w-l-y. ;-)

@ronzoni, I dunno ... maybe Boehner keeps Kosher. Then it can be labeled as a "hate crime". ;-)
