FORT WORTH, Texas – The Charles Manson follower convicted of trying to assassinate President Gerald Ford was released Friday from a Texas prison hospital after more than three decades behind bars, a prison official said.
Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme was just 26 years old when she pointed a semiautomatic .45- caliber pistol at Ford in September 1975 in Sacramento, Calif. Secret Service agents grabbed her and Ford was unhurt.
Fromme, now 60, left the Federal Medical Center Carswell in Fort Worth at about 8 a.m. Friday, spokeswoman Dr. Maria Douglas said in a statement.

Always nice to know that if you attempt to assassinate a Republican President you can eventually get out of prison.

"I knew someday she would be released," said John Virga, the Sacramento attorney who handled her trial.This tends to reinforce your statement.

Must have gotten a position in the 0bama Whitehouse communications department promoting their health care agenda.
Hell, her previous boss was a mass murdering lunatic, the new one is just looking for someone with experience in that field.

I wonder what ‘czar’ position zero will appoint her to - possibly she could become his new “Federal Prison Czar”!

My sister lived for a few years in a commune in Northern Vermont with Linda Kasabian, who was the State's Witness against the Manson gang.
If I were Linda, I would be watching my back. Very closely.

As a good friend of mine says every year at this time (start of new school year) about her kids: “I don’t remember getting older; when did they?”
To: Hodar
Has she gotten a Cabinet position with the Obama administration yet?
Or an offer from academia?

Or an offer from academia? That would make perfect sense, an honorary Doctorate in 'Feminine Studies' would be a logical fit.

Well, aren't we going through the rehabilitate the unrehabitlitatable chapter, AGAIN? It's all part of defining punishment down and make evil feel good. Another generation needs to learn, it doesn't work.

Is she still squeaky, or has her prison experience mellowed her a bit?
