Whackjob sentenced for threatening Murray

Right wing eliminationist sentenced to prison for threatening Senator Patty Murray
Remember Charles Alan Wilson? The denizen of Selah who was so upset over the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that he made numerous phone calls to Senator Patty Murray's office threatening to kill her?

Well, today was Wilson's last day in court. Following his arrest in late April, he pleaded guilty to the charge of threatening a federal official, and so, as a consequence of his plea, he was sentenced to a year and a day in prison by U.S. District Court Judge John C. Coughenour, a Reagan appointee.

Prior to adjourning, Coughenour read the following magnificent statement, penned by one of his law clerks, Colin George. He explained that he had asked his clerks to write down what they'd tell Wilson when he was sentenced. He liked George's submission so much that he decided to read it aloud in court rather than to use it as an inspiration for his own composition.
