No terrorist acts in the U.S. since 9/11? What the hell do you call this?

Holy shit:

A man took people hostage at a New Hampshire campaign office for Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton, police said Friday.

The man claimed to have a bomb strapped to him when he walked into the office in Rochester, WHDH-TV reported.

Police said they believe two hostages were being held and that the man had released an adult and a child.

Bill Shaheen, chairman of Clinton's campaign in New Hampshire, said the hostages were two volunteers. "Hopefully, they're going to negotiate this so no one gets hurt," Shaheen told WMUR-TV.

WMUR-TV quoted a woman, Lettie Tzizik, saying she spoke to someone who said she had just been released by the man.

"A young woman with a 6-month- or 8-month-old infant came rushing into the store just in tears, and she said, 'You need to call 911. A man has just walked into the Clinton office, opened his coat and showed us a bomb strapped to his chest with duct tape.'"

Police surrounded the building, evacuated the immediate area and placed other buildings, including a nearby school, under lockdown.

Clinton, who was scheduled to campaign in Virginia on Friday, was not at the office.

More later, including the inevitable wingnut ranting that the Clinton campaign did this themselves.

UPDATE: They are SO predictable. The Nation wades into the fetid swamp so I don't have to:

Many Freepers joked that the hostage taker, a man claiming to have a bomb, was really a Clinton "plant." A few examples of conservative "humor:"

Another Freeper invoked the tawdry, fabricated rumor of a lesbian affair between Hillary and staffer Huma Abedin:

And what would a Freeper thread be without some reference to Bill Clinton's sexual dalliances?

Has Bill got Ms. Willey cornered again?

See what we have to look forward to if Hillary is the nominee? It's going to be a long, long year.
