Gawker and other news outlets are reporting that someone threw a book at President Obama at the rally in Philly this weekend. There is also speculation that a streaker was in the crowd trying to win a bet by billionaire Alki David, a self-described prankster, who wagered a million dollars to the first person who could streak across the President's line of vision (that means in the nude) with the prankster's website emblazoned on his or her chest.
While Gawker and other sites claim both these events occurred, others such as the Associated Press are not so sure.
In any event, where was the Secret Service on this? Apparently they interviewed the book thrower and determined that he didn't mean the president any harm. He was only trying to get publicity for a book.
This one is a head-scratcher, nevertheless. What will folks think of and do next?
