Fischer even broke in to a raspy voiced rendition of the 1965 Barry McGuire hit "Eve of Destruction,"

Throw the book at him.

They play a lot of chess in jail.

I bet he wins occasionally. ;^)

The difference between me and Schwarzenegger is Schwarzenegger is a Jew ass-kisser and I'm not.

Fisher is a rabid anti-semite.

[tjg]

I'm sort of lost on this story. Was his passport revoked in the first place?

[ScottFromSpokane]

Schwarzenegger is a Jew ass-kisser

Wait a minute. I thought Schywarzenegger was a Nazi.

I'm so confused.

[mtbopfuyn]

Bobby's been checkmated.

"I can't get any alcohol in here, which I think is also bad for my health.

I'll drink to that! Pint o' Guinness , please. Cheers.

No kidding! What a stupid song. Now I'm going to have it running through my head all day. No wonder Bobby is insane if he has these kind of songs running through his head all the time. I guess he also must know the lyrics to "Muskrat Love" and "Candy Man" too! Poor guy.

I'm not a big fan of Bobby Fischer but does he really belong in jail? Seems like a harmless guy to me and he obviously is a few cards short of a full deck. Should somebody with mental problems be incarcerated like this?

Now, Bobby. Don't be an anti-semite girlieman.

Before I finished reading the article, I just KNEW that it was Bush's fault that Fischer was detained...

[garyhope]

I heartily agree. A nice glass of red. It flushes the grease out of your body and soul.

[digger48]

I started out wondering why this is being done, after reading more, I don't give a sh!t what they do to him.

He wants alcohol? Give him a gallon of Prestone and tell him to STFU.

If I'm not mistaken, he had all of his tooth fillings removed years ago claiming the CIA was transmitting signals to them or some such thing.

[FITZ]

Why don't they just deport him? Or does their open borders crowd paint deportation as the worst thing you could do to someone --- describing cattle cars and on and on. It seems the best thing to do to someone who committed no serious crime is just send them back home.

[austinmark]

Is anybody sure this isn't a story on Ted Kennedy?
or Norman Mailer?
or Walter Cronkite?
or........

Can everybody say ........ dementia or "pickled brain syndrome" ?

[Goldwater4ever]

Make mine two pints of Murphey's Stout.

[101st-Eagle]

Fischer had all fillings in his teeth replaced on the eve of the match, fearing the presence of Soviet implants that could be activated to distract him at crucial moments. On September 1, 1972, Fischer became world champion after Spassky conceded a match in which Fischer won 7 games, drew 11, and lost 3.

Correction. KGB.

[Zeppelin]

I believe he had his fillings removed because he thought the Soviets had poisoned them. I could be mistaken.

[101st-Eagle]

yep. You're right.
