Manson follower 'Squeaky' Fromme out of prison
Source: Los Angeles Times
FORT WORTH, Texas - The Charles Manson follower convicted of trying to assassinate President Gerald Ford was released today from a Texas prison hospital after more than three decades behind bars, a prison official said.
Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme was just 26 years old when she pointed a semiautomatic .45- caliber pistol at Ford in September 1975 in Sacramento, Calif. Secret Service agents grabbed her and Ford was unhurt.

7. Ironic that now that a black man is President, a woman who attempted to kill
a President is set free. Call me paranoid, but I see a message there.

OMG that is hilarious. Yeah way back in the 70's the judge knew in 2009 we would have a black president so he made sure she would be released for this event. :rotf:

Given Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme's past, I'd say she eligible for a Cabinet position in Dear Leader's administration.

I dunno she hasn't cheated on her taxes that I know of. Perhaps she can get a waiver for that requirement. :-)
