Arkansas Man Scales White House Fence

WASHINGTON - A man from Arkansas scaled the fence surrounding the White House Sunday while President Bush was inside and was immediately captured by Secret Service officers.

Secret Service spokesman Jonathan Cherry identified the jumper as Shawn A. Cox. Cherry said Cox was being charged with unlawful entry and was expected to appear Monday in U.S. District Court.

I'm sure we'll hear more as the day goes on. Seems Mr. Cox was already known to the Secret Service:

Cox has previously come to the attention of the Secret Service, Cherry said, but he would not provide details.

Cherry said he did not know where Cox was from in Arkansas or why he wanted to get on the White House grounds. He did not have a weapon, Cherry said.

I'm stumped, too. After all, he looks like such a happy, well-adjusted fellow:

Comb that hair for 30 or 40 minutes and he could pass for a North Carolinian.

Actually, the "moonbat" moniker in the title of this post is conditional, since we really don't know anything about Mr. Cox yet. After all, it could turn out that he's just a mentally ill man suffering from delusions about the legitimacy of the last two elections and the reasons we went to war in Iraq, exacerbated by extreme hatred for George Bush and everything America stands for.

What, you thought there was gonna be a punchline?
