He Bit Off His Nose to Spite ... Obama

Yesterday, I marveled at the fact that there didn't seem to be many sour grapes being tossed by the Republicans after the victory of Barack Obama. They seemed downright civil, which was actually a bit disconcerting. Well, thank God for Pennsylvania:

A 70-year old man was charged earlier today with biting the nose of another man because police said he was upset that Barack Obama won the presidency.

Alexander J. McKenna, of South Landon Avenue, was charged with three counts each of simple assault and harassment, and one count of disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. He was released on $2,500 unsecured bail.

Police were called to Pizzle's Bar on Cherry Street at about 2:20 a.m. Wednesday for a man, identified as McKenna, swinging a cane at other patrons.

Police found McKenna on the ground yelling obscenities, the criminal complaint says

Joe Blight and Ronnie Blight told police, the criminal complaint says, that they were inside the bar when McKenna began screaming obscenities about President-elect Barack Obama winning the presidential election.

McKenna walked across the bar and bit Joe Blight on the nose, and swung his cane at Ronnie Blight, according to the criminal complaint.

McKenna told police, according to the criminal complaint, that he was drunk and upset Obama won the presidency, and took out his anger on the Blight brothers.

Now that's more like it! I bet he was one of those bitter, gun-clingers that Obama was talking about, too.

It also reminds me of a friend I had in high school. He was an honest-to-God gang member. He had a gun and committed a drive-by and everything and, for a short while, he was even on the run from Johnny Law. Anyway, this gangster friend of mine, the night that George Bush Sr. lost, he actually wept! Wept, I say! Our Republican Gangster.

Last I heard, he was an attorney in Texas (and a google search confirms it). I wonder if he's still trying to shoot people?
