Ted Nugent Drama of the Day: Ted Nugent, at the NRA convention Saturday:
“If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.”
A Secret Service spokesman, responding accordingly:
“We are aware of the incident, and we are conducting appropriate follow-up.”
DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, going on the offensive today:
“Mitt Romney must condemn Nugent’s violent and hateful rhetoric immediately, as it has no place in our political discourse or this campaign.”
Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul, forced to play defense:
“Divisive language is offensive no matter what side of the political aisle it comes from. Mitt Romney believes everyone needs to be civil.”
Sigh.

Idiot. Or, as Obama might say (since he said so about Kanye): jackass.
