Lynette Fromme, convicted of the attempted assassination of President Ford in '75, has been released from prison, a prison spokeswoman says.

[F15Eagle]

Is she still “squeaky”?

[Mr. Jazzy]

Squeaky!!!

[Buckeye McFrog]

so when is her first day as Dept. Chair at the University of Chicago?

[2banana]

FYI - When you look through history of American Presidents being assassinated or the attempt to assassinate them - the assassins have always been far left wing or mentally unbalanced.

[mylife]

Naw. Obama will make her a Czar.

[DogBarkTree]

How long before she gets a Medal of Freedom?

[MIchaelTArchangel]

I hope she jaywalks and gets hit by a Ford truck!

[rocksblues]

Actually she will be appointed to head a panel on how to keep elected officials safe from right wing extremists.

[stylecouncilor]

ping

[montomike]

Does anyone have a current picture so that we can watch out for her...

And play around with it in PS?

[FReepaholic]

...far left wing or mentally unbalanced...

Same thing.

[jimt]

All murderers should be permanently rehabilitated. She should be dead.

[F15Eagle]

Zer0 is probably creating an ambassadorship or a cabinet post since she didn't get out in time for the Supreme Court.

[NMEwithin]

Wonder if she will go and visit Charlie??

[Right Cal Gal]

Probably calling California Corrections right now to see when she can get in to see Charlie.

Ironic that she’s released near the date of the 40th anniversary of the horrific murders committed by her “family.”

[Dallas59]

Amazing...people like Squeaky are running our government!

[RexBeach]

Does she get a Medal of Freedom?

You know what they say: The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

[jmaroneps37]

Does anyone else remember murderer Jack Henry Abbott? He was sprung from prison by Norman Mailer AND Bill Buckley because he was “a changed man.” In less than three weeks he killed a waiter over “poor service” and Mailer and Buckley shrugged and said “Ooops!” Last I heard the poor waiter is still dead as Mailer and Buckley are and scumbag Abbott is in prison where he always belonged.

[o_zarkman44]

When will she go to the reunion party at Bill Ayers house in Chicago? theme music will be “HELTER SKELTER”

[Western Phil]

Is the argument that since she is no longer a danger to President Ford there is no need to lock her up?

[A_Former_Democrat]

After 30 years her joints probably “squeak”

[AuH2ORepublican]

“Is the argument that since she is no longer a danger to President Ford there is no need to lock her up?”

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Of course, that would also be an argument in favor of not giving any jail time to *successful* assassins. I support the proposition that murderers shouldn’t get much jail time—just long enough until they’re executed.

[Sig Sauer P220]

I expect Charles Manson to be released, in order to fill one of Zero’s Czar positions.

[The KG9 Kid]

I mentioned her pending release a few days ago in the thread covering the story that Manson Family killer Susan Atkins was petitioning to be released from prison.

Squeaky Fromme is certifiably nuts and we'll certainly hear about her future misdoings.

[tiki]

Its a cinch she won’t be trying to kill Reagan.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Has there been any discussion of exactly what position she will be taking
in the Obama administration?

Health and Human Services or Homeland Security?
On the staff of science czar Holdren's population control unit that wants
to put drugs in the water supply might be a right cultural fit.

[tiki]

She won’t because she failed her mission.

[Lancey Howard]

I remember this. We came precipitously close to having “President Nelson Rockefeller”.

[Erasmus]

...but you repeat yourself.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Maybe she could take a position on the staff at Rev. Jeremiah Wright's church.
Similar Helter Skelter theology.

[mylife]

Does anyone have a current picture?

[sportutegrl]

. . . the assassins have always been far left wing or mentally unbalanced.

Can't both be true?

[LukeL]

I think you are thinking of Edgar Smith, concerning Buckley.

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

[mylife]

Daymmit!

[reagan_fanatic]

Well - there went breakfast.

[beckett]

Abbott hanged himself in prison in 2002. It’s true Mailer championed Abbott. But Buckley was never associated with him, since he’d learned his lesson years earlier by cultivating a friendship with another criminal, Edgar Smith, which Buckley later came to regret. In any case, Buckley got involved with Smith because he thought the man might be factually innocent, which was never the case with Mailer and Abbott.

[longfellow]

Release ‘charles’ there are a few hollywood stars I would like him to visit.

[a fool in paradise]

bump

[Deo volente]

The irony is, while the Dept. of Corrections in California deemed her no longer a danger to society, the Secret Service has probably reactivated her file and is no doubt keeping an eye on her.

[a fool in paradise]

I hear that President Obama plans to throw Joe Biden under the bus in 2012 and run with Charles Manson on the ticket.

Couldn’t be crazier than what we’ve seen so far.

[Slings and Arrows]

Don't think of it as releasing a dangerous criminal. Think of it as a full-employment scheme for the Secret Service.

[Clemenza]

She may be a lover, but she aint no dancer...

[MeekOneGOP]

This ain’t “Squeaky” Clean !!

[BJClinton]

Dude, seriously, not cool.

I’m trying to eat lunch.

[chris_bdba]

ROFLOL! Perfect. :)

[ArmstedFragg]

This has to be the only country in the world where the person who tries to kill the President ends up out-living the President.

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

I’m trying to eat lunch.

Then you should thank me. I might have just prevented diabetes, so now some profit-hungry family doctor won't have to cut your foot off.
