GOP politician arrested in ricin case

A couple weeks ago, somebody mailed ricin - a deadly poison - to President Obama and other public officials.

This morning, authorities arrested James Everett Dutschke, 41, of Tupelo, Mississippi, in connection with the case. Dutschke has sought office in that area as a Republican. Dutschke is also under investigation in a child molestation case.

Authorities believe Dutschke tried to pin the ricin mailings on local eccentric Paul Curtis, a longtime Dutschke foe. Curtis was initially charged, but the charges were dropped.

Dutschke's arrest is yet another plume in the criminal cap of the modern GOP.
