FBI: Palin, other governors were sent suspicious powder

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the former Republican vice presidential candidate, and seven other US governors have received letters with a suspicious white powder, according to the FBI.

Since Monday, "at least eight letters containing a suspicious white powder have been received by the offices of governors around the country," Robert Casey, special agent in charge for the FBI in Dallas, said in a statement issued on Tuesday.

"The white powder substance has been field screened and the tests have met with negative results. The white powder substance has been forwarded to local laboratories for further testing," the statement said.

The letters, all postmarked from Dallas, Texas, were sent to governors' offices in Rhode Island, Michigan, Mississippi, Alabama, Minnesota, Montana, Missouri as well as Alaska, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said.

Well, someone missed Illinois--Gov. Delusional could have used a good scare. Maybe someone could send Gov. Delusional some fake white powder, and while the place gets checked, the good people of Illinois could change the locks.

Sorry, the cat is laughing at his own joke right now. >:-)
