The Case of the Hanging Mannequin

WEST HOLLYWOOD, California — Chad Morrisette never imagined his Halloween yard decorations would prompt interest from the Secret Service.
But apparently hanging a mannequin of GOP vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin from a noose isn't something to be ignored.
Agents recently visited Morrisette's home to see the display and have been trying to meet him to ensure no violent plots have been concocted.
West Hollywood Mayor Jeffrey Prang has urged Morrisette to remove the mannequins, and Los Angeles County Supervisor Mike Antonovich called for an investigation into whether the effigy constitutes a hate crime because it targeted the candidates based on their political affiliation.

...we certainly have no affection for Sarah Palin, but we agree that the thing should be taken down. We agree also, that had the mannequin in question been that of Barack Obama, Los Angeles would now be engulfed in flames due to the race riots...
These two citizens may agree with our political leanings, but they are NOT spokespersons for our political ideals...show some decorum...show some class...don't give the opposition fuel to further their cause...
